      Not a whoops. The girls school was specifically targeted by Israel as it is adjacent to a naval base and attended in great part by the children of naval officers.

      The US military knows that targeting civilians, especially children, is not only bad optics, it also makes their jobs exponentially more difficult as they always depend on local support. The IDF’s strategy is to inflict maximum pain in order to break the enemy. This is especially attractive when you cam make others (the US) do the killing for you and take the blame.

      Normally, US intelligence selects and monitors the targets, but this shitshow of an administration has let a foreign entity (Israel) drive.

      Regardless. The killing of those girls was not a whoops.

    I don’t buy this at all. Why are missiles the same size as grenades/knives, why does he fly like a weird bird and if that child is on such a flammable box spring, why isn’t it alight?

      They’re fun size.

      why does he fly like a weird bird

      He’s emulating our great national symbol, the eagle.

      if that child is on such a flammable box spring, why isn’t it alight?

      If you look, this is moments before impact. The bed won’t be on fire until the munitions actually hit the target.

      This is essentially a “guns don’t kill people” argument.

      However a particular gun might be involved in a lot more deaths if it happens to belong to a psycho who’s always waving it around at the slightest provocation.
