  • Most of their justification is for sure bullshit, especially knowing how AI routinely “hallucinates” things (Firsthand, as I worked with MS/OpenAI AI for some POC projects).
    Their uses of AI isn’t to “better target terrorist”, it is to anesthetize their humanity, the same way a execution peleton ammunition are mostly blank, so none of them know who really killed the prisoner. And see the result. Tens of thousands of women and children killed, and no end of hostility in sight.
    This is no war, this is blind vengeance, and those in power in Israel as well as in Teheran keep fueling it in hope to stabilize their power.


  • Both sides are guilty of war crimes, and that bombing is a war crime in my opinion. Still, The Hezbollah have a lot of other option other than building bunkers under civilian building. If they can dig under that, they can dig under a mountain, a field, or anywhere else where their presence wouldn’t put others in danger.

    So tell me, other than using it as a shield, why dig a bunker under a civilian building ?



  • There is a difference between being “near” and “under”.
    In the first case, unless your missile/bomb is shitty, you should be able to hit the target without collateral damages. On the second, except by telling in advance where you are gonna bomb, there is no way to avoid collateral damage. That a case where the population is used as human shield.

    Still, taking that into account, especially with the latest development in drones, Israel could have used a less destructive approach. But that would have required them to go out in the open, and I doubt they would. The only option left is to wait for another opportunity, or to go for it with their bunker buster bombs, despite all the collateral damage it would do. Considering the little respect Israel military has for Arabs lives, the answer was the later.


  • Funny since I’m rather pro palestinian, but let’s go with it.

    I take into account that I don’t know a lot of things as I’m not some sort of omnipotent being.

    Here is the data I got :

    On the Hezbollah, as they don’t have an habit of documenting their bases (for obvious reason), all I know is that it was in a densely inhabited area, and reportedly underground.
    So either it was built before this zone became densely populated, or it was built on a later date, knowing the area was densely inhabited.
    Either way, it is either negligence, if they allowed the population to encroach on what should be considered a military area, or knowingly, to use the population as shield. Unfortunately they are against an army that don’t care about killing innocents, so that was of no use.

    On the IDF side, according to Wikipedia, Camp Rabin is used as the IDF headquarters since 1948, at that time it was still an agricultural settlement in the periphery of Tel Aviv. This was seized from a Christian community, reportedly because they where nazi sympathizers, and they used to create the IDF HQ there.
