There is no such thing as Netzarim City, there is no cease fire in place, and Gaza City, which appears to be shown in the background, is still a declared war zone.

Defense of murderous IDF?

Then perhaps you can find a reliable source that would make your innuendo appear plausible.

I had every reason to doubt the sources in the OP. Note that I made no comment on the event itself.

Also, did you read the presumptuous post I responded to? What do you think of it?

Since when do you care what the Israeli Left think ??

You asked , so I will answer .

I think he is entitled to his opinion, its probably based on this :

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1134144552

This is NOT the Jewish forum so hopefully he wont be banned for expressing his
opinion .

So, now I get to ask a question ......

Why do you care ?
Ever served in the IDF ??????
Ever even lived here for an extended period ?
Or are all your opinions based only on your Judaism?

BTW Im not fooled and now looks like Im not the only one

It presumes that what happens in Israel doesn’t affect Jews worldwide, and that the poster you are defending, while most likely not having served in the IDF any longer than I did, is entitled to his opinion which has nothing to do with what I posted, more than I do to mine, which questions the legitimacy of the sources in the OP.

His opinion is this: any doubts about the dubious sources in the OP amounts to defending the murderous IDF. Knowing this, you still didn’t tell me what you think about me having doubts about the cited sources or whether you think IDF is murderous.

Do you, apparently having served in IDF, think he is entitled to thiese opinions? Do you think I am less entitled to question the integrity of the demonstrably inaccurate sources?

To answer your questions, no, I never served in the IDF. No, I never lived in Israel for an extended period. No, my opinions are not based only on my Judaism, and obviously so: they are based on factual errors in the OP, which have nothing to do with my Judaism. And I care what the Israeli left think since 1967, when, as a child, I first found out that Israel is a sovereign state created by the Jews and governed by the Israeli left.

Why? To answer that, I must ask you some questions as well.

Were you ever beaten up as a child by a gang of grown up’s for no other reason than that they suspected you of being a Jew?

Did your father ever lose a job because he was Jewish?

Were you disgusted when the UN passed a resolution equating Zionism with racism?

Were you ever appalled by the normalization of antisemitism around the globe?

Have you ever felt abandoned by America’s Left?

Finally, were you ever told by angry strangers to “go back to Israel” even though they knew perfectly well you have never been there before?

If you were, you wouldn’t be questioning me about why I care.

It is called the Netzarim corridor but people also refer to it as an area or place. Beyond that I mean,, firing on civilians? really?
"Footage shows the tanks firing shells near a crowd of Palestinians gathering in the area."

I don't know about you but that is a beastly thing to do, boy I don't think I could ever support something like that.
