The IDF has claimed there was no malice in the killings of the three Israeli hostages on December 15, 2023.

CNN —
Israel’s army chief said troops failed in their mission to rescue three hostages mistakenly killed in Gaza earlier this month as the military on Thursday published its report into the incident.

Herzi Halevi, chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said the shootings “could have been prevented,” but he determined there was “no malice in the event and the soldiers carried out the right action to the best of their understanding of the event at that moment.”


Does anybody seriously believe this given the circumstances, which for anybody who has studied this incident, it would seem like a point blank execution?

Looks like a terribly tragic mistake.

But nothing more than a mistake.

Jews don't kill fellow Jews very easily, unlike other peoples, so I suspect this was just a tragic error.

 

I can’t think of any reason why i would think the IDF would execute hostages unless it was to justify your demonization of them. In which case, yeah, they not only executed them, they skinned and roasted them and ate their brains.

 

Yeah everything "looks like a terribly tragic mistake". Seems israel is good at it. So much so, it appears the IDF killed more jews on October 7 than did Hamas.

 

iCan think of two reasons.

 

iCan thin of three reasons why they would kill Israelis deliberately.

 

The mother of yotan haim (one of the victims) weeks before his murder: " I know as a citizen of Israel that our IDF is very careful and what they are doing now is the only way that our hostages can come back."

Hmm, odd thing to say..as if..she knew what was going to happen..

 

They just thought they were executing enemies trying to surrender. No malice in their hearts at all, lol. Though to be fair, there is an understandable concern of fake surrenders to get close enough to kill before being taken out.

 

~ The USA government and media will of course run cover for the slaughter of innocent civilians in the "war against Hamas ".

 

The third hostage seems reasonably accidental due to some forces not realizing that the hostage had been told to come out by other forces. Since they seem to have been just shooting at anything that moves regardless as a standard operation procedure, however, suggests they really were operating with reckless disregard for innocents.

 

Considering one of them was whiter than white with ginger hair I'm assuming that they were deliberately killed.

 

Hamas is responsible for all civilian deaths in Gaza. It’s very likely that three Israelis who were accidentally killed were released in a combat zone by Hamas hoping that they would be killed by IDF soldiers battle fatigued by booby traps, Hamas dressed as women, and street combat. It’s a great stretch to believe that Hamas would allow hostages who they trade for captured Hamas terrorists.

 

I haven't heard if that guy was one of the first 2 or the third one killed. They were all 3 deliberately killed by my measure, but the issue has more to do with whether any of them were mistakenly killed. # 3 may have been because of the communications issue where one unit told him to come out and another just fired on site of him from another position.

 

How could anyone not think this was justified? These things happen in war, any one of us could have made the same mistake. The Israel haters are just whining on about it in order to try to sully the IDF's good name.

 

The real question is how could these three escape from Hamas who value hostages for their negotiations in releasing captured Hamas terrorists. It seems more than likely that Hamas released them on purpose and somehow manufactured a situation that resulted in the IDF tragically killing them accidentally. We will never know the details of how those unfortunate hostages escaped from Hamas.

 

What evidence is there that 'the IDF killed more Jews on October 7 than did Hamas'. I used single quotation marks indicating a paraphrase of those words in your post because I took the liberty of correcting your mistake of not capitalizing "Jews". I am sure that was an oversight.

 

At what time of day did this tragedy occur? Are there Caucasian members of Hamas?

 

You mean, them Jews in the IDF saw 3 bare chested IDF waving a white flag, and executed 2 of them at close range because they all thought they were Arabs. One escaped into a building. They waited till their fellow Jews in the IDF weren't in a crossfire, and asked the dude who escaped to come out. And when that 1 dude did, speaking in Hebrew, he too got executed at close range, because they still thought he was an Arab.

They really did execute them on purpose, at close range in cold blood. The only "accident" they made, is that they thought they were Arabs and not a fellow Jew. It's not as if they cared if they were executing Arab civilians or Hamas. And that is so since even the US has already said that Israel is killing indiscriminately. Do you understand that this means that the Jews in the IDF do not care if they murder Arab civilians or Hamas, according tot their best friend the US of A? And so this is just genocidal, and so again the only "ups" is that they made a racial error in judgement.

And this is just how Hamas acted on Oct the 7th when not making any kind of difference in killing Jewish soldiers and Jewish citizens... and why we all have to jaw drop at the terror.

 

Hamas mist likely released the three hoping that they would accidentally be killed. That’s part of Hamas’s dead baby policy.

 

One would think there aren't any "pale ginger" members of hamas, jus sayin..

 

It is not reasonable to believe they would maliciously kill their own. The true murderers are hamas and their minions.

 

This topic is about IDF killing hostages. Can you please stick to the topic.

 

How did they become "hostages" and how did they get in harms way? The truth is that Israelis hide their people in bomb shelters at the first sign of danger while the other side hides behind women and children. It is not reasonable to believe that Israelis would maliciously kill their own people. This was a tragic accident that would have never happened if there were no hostages taken.

In all the discussions on Israel/Palestine issue, I never see anyone posting about improving the lives of the Palestinians. Its all about hating. blaming, and killing Jews. Until they love their own people as much as they hate Jews, the only solution is to contain them.

 

It was a bare chested white man speaking yiddish waving a white flag that the IDF executed fyi. Where is the error of judgement?

 

LOL!!!!

The only Jews in Israel who speak Yiddish are the anti-Zionist Hasidim who live in Jerusalem.
