Will someone explain to me if and why the IDF killed reporter Shireen Abu Akleh?
"According to an Israeli soldier interviewed in the documentary, members of Scagio’s unit were so upset that his reputation had been spoiled by killing Abu Akleh that they started using her photograph as target practice." I feel if both sides say it happened then it happened so I don't know how I would be mislead here. Why would they shoot a reporter? The guy was promoted to a sniper commander after so I doubt he misfired. But I may be wrong or mislead by mainstream media, I am unsure.
Then II saw a video of the IDF beating the people carrying her casket. That seems kind of harsh wouldn't you say. Is this justified? Or is this all just propaganda? And if so how am I being mislead? I've been trying to look at Israel media sources as well as mainstream western media but these incidents often aren't mentioned by them.
I truly want to know. I see videos of inherently bad things the IDF is doing all over reddit (destroying aid) and never am able to hear your side of it. I mean there's video proof so it seems irrefutable but I see people trying to justify or excuse it on here saying the west doesn't understand or its propaganda or anti semitism. I read every post I could and people haven't been posting links or evidence, just saying they don't have to explain it to the west cause we're all bad people who root for Hamas (which isn't true at all!). I really want to believe Israel is in the right in what it's doing! My Grandpa fought in WW2 so I do not support anti semitism in the slightest but I see so many negative posts about Israel yet don't see any of your sides arguments (and yes I understand these are probably downvoted by reddit so they're hard to find). But they won't be here!
I mean didn't Israel legalize Execution and the guy who did it celebrated with a noose cake? How is that being justified as not just cruel or sadistic. Or is the west putting a spin on it?
Sorry I really am fairly ignorant on the whole conflict but after some anti semitic things at my University I want to make sure I'm on the right side of history here. I don't want to support hateful things and really am trying to make sure I'm not being tricked by the media into believing a false narrative. And I promise I'll admit when I'm wrong if I'm shown evidence, I'm a Scentist so I want facts and videos and not just hearsay which is mostly what I see on this subreddit.
The reason I brought up a few examples is that I actually want to be proven wrong or told that I'm misinterpreting all the videos I'm seeing. I hope this gives you guys room to actually defend some negative things people are seeing with factual evidence.
Thanks!
