  • -Ukraine clearly honed their comms style to appeal to a western audience. It seems Israel didn’t have any such planning in place for a possible war.

    Israel aren't analogous to Ukraine in this situation. They are the other guys.

    Edit: I agree on the lack of context - it's a completely polarised narrative:

    Hamas were using those ambulances to transfer weapons.
    Hamas have a strategic base under that hospital.
    We told all these civilians they should leave (to where?)

  • Israel aren't analogous to Ukraine in this situation.

    Agree with this.

    They are the other guys.

    Don't think this follows though. Israel hasn't just decided to invade apropos of nothing - they were the victim of a huge attack, which itself was in the context of over a century of friction between two main groups in the same area.

    yes; apologies as it was a bit of a throw away line. i just meant in terms of relative size and military power they are more similar.
