It's not collateral damage in the gaza war. This was a family in the west bank, where there is no hamas and no "war", that was gunned down in cold blood for no reason. Not even presenting a threat. I hope one day you are able to find compassion.

  • I go to HN to read about technology and startups. I don't want to read about Israel/gaza, etc, I get enough of that everywhere else in life. But I guess that makes me not a compassionate person.

    • If you don’t want to read about it then don’t read about it.

      It’s taking the time to post a mean reply that shows your lack of compassion.

Which war? This happened in the West Bank!

  • For people who don't follow this, the West Bank has a different government vs Gaza (they are not friends!), and is in fact pretty compliant wrt Israel.

This isn't a war, though. This is an extermination. This is an army with effectively limitless power against unarmed civilians.

> Collateral damage is inevitable in any war.

"Collateral damage" is when "they" die. "Tragedy" is when "we" die.

Or, in other words: "Some of you might die. That's a sacrifice I am willing to make."
