They won’t tell you that Israel’s Supreme Command Post is underground in the heart of Tel Aviv. Why put it there? So that they could hide their most critical military assets behind civilians. And then they criticize Gazans for doing the same and carpet bomb entire cities. https://x.com/newswire_us/status/1933602792398336385?s=46&t=u8pItK-nu0TdtOG8jcLETA

this is factually inaccurate on multiple levels 1. there's zero evidence to support israel putting hakirya in TLV to "hide behind civilians"; on the other hand, there's lots of evidence to support hamas doing that 2. you're presenting a false moral equivalence b/w the IDF and gaza militants - under IHL, a command bunker in a city is totally fine; launching missiles from schools/hospitals to deter return-fire is not (the IDF does the former, hamas does the latter) 3. israel doesn't carpet bomb cities - they conduct heavy (often devastating) but *precision-guided* strikes. describing their actions like vietnam-era carpet bombing inflates what's actually happening sure, you're right that the idf's hq is in tel aviv, but how you frame the motives + moral comparison are incredibly misleading
