© Instagram / idfonlineIDF brags over Gaza 'before' and 'after'
"Another significant achievement," the Israel Defense Force (IDF) titled its post of Wednesday, showing "before" and "after" photos of the Hanadi high-rise block which once towered above its surroundings in Gaza City. "The tower was used by terrorist organizations," the IDF wrote, vindicating its attack on the apartment block.
"We will not stop here - we will continue to act in any way necessary to protect the security of the residents of Israel and rule out threats from the Gaza Strip," the translation reads.
"Verified Another significant achievement: Last night, an attack was carried out on another high-rise tower - the Hanadi in Gaza City. The tower was used by terrorist organizations. We will not stop here - we will continue to act in any way that is required in order to protect the security of the residents of Israel and rule out threats from the Gaza Strip."
The post has been fiercely condemned by social media users, with many shocked by the audacity of the IDF to turn the bombing of an apartment block into a meme.
One user said that even if the IDF believes those who died were "bad people" it is still people who are dying and yet they have the insolence to make a meme out of it.
"I once hit an animal with my car. Couldn't sleep for nights. It still haunts me to this day. Its unbelievable that someone can kill kids and celebrate it," another wrote.
The IDF's meme comes as the Israel Defense Forces steps up its operations against Palestinian militants. The latest reports suggest that as many as 83 people, including 17 children, have died in Gaza since the weekend when the violence escalated.
Many missiles, fired by Palestinian militant groups including Hamas, have been intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome defense capability; Jerusalem has reported six deaths.
On Wednesday, Israel's Minister of Defense Benny Gantz promised to continue taking the fight to Hamas and other Palestinian forces to achieve "complete silence" before any truce is reached.
Jerusalem says Hamas often places its military instalments in residential areas.

I am reminded of the words of John Lennon not sure that I can paraphrase exactly, when it comes to finding the exact quote, seems from my search, it is hard to find,
Anyway, to paraphrase loosely, I remember, him saying once they get you angry, you are easier to control.

Uniformly, you'd see videos from what I guess was drone 1 watching soldiers in the open and too close together, and completely unaware that they were 10 seconds from being dead. Then, streaking in would come another drone (I've gotta guess that they were/are vewy, vewy quiet*) and Boom - they were dead.

Seems to me, like some disinformation rampaging against Palestinians, to my mind anyway) it is well know that Israel, has many bots, to counter the Israeli deformation narrative, which is not exclusive to Israel.
How on earth are they supposed to receive all these armaments, when Palestine, or anyone with a Palestinian heritage. with all the border checks and sanctions regarding what can be entered into Palestine or acquired by a person of Palestinian origin is so tightly controlled by Israel.
How on earth, have they acquired this so called modern technology, when they have been essentially on "lock-down" for decades?
Didn't Bibi, close down all those underground tunnels, several years ago, with great fanfare?
And the Political leaders of the World have remained silent. Now what does any thinking mind make of that?

Israeli media blasted by public after state TV broadcasts 'lynching' of 'Arab' by Jewish mob
News that Israeli television broadcast the beating of a supposedly Arab man live amid the ongoing violence has drawn condemnation on social media, with users questioning Israel's reputation as the...RC
I am now eighty seven, have witnessed all of this for most of my adult life, this is my conclusion: Such "rules based" inventions, so well established and supported by others, who should know better, can and will end, in only one way; There will be war and conflagration UN-imagined, it is now inevitable, too much has been invested into causing it, all the lies and deceits are in place, it is fait accompli; The grand prize, subjugation and may be the totalitarian rules based order of whole World.
Democratic National Governments World wide are criminally responsible because they have insanely succumbed to the twisted visions and lies "erupting" out of the United States, and they have not troubled to ask the Peoples they Govern, either for their opinion or instructions, so that the Peoples "Will" shall prevail; such Governments are necessarily complicit and corrupt.
Such Governments do not need the "Peoples" armies any more; They need only a handful of brainwashed psychopaths willing to press buttons when ordered. Mark my words, be ready and prepared, this War must happen; my personal hope is, that it strikes down the original rehearsals of the New Rules Based Order first; The illegal occupiers operating in the Middle East and professing "their" God to be an original real estate vendor.
Some aspects are inevitable; so before wagging your fingers at me, warning of all the innocent Arab civilians likely in harms way, let me remind you of one stand alone fact; all Arabs and neighboring Nations are complicit because they almost literally have stood by and just let it happen; they tried and failed, falling at the first fence, does that mean all is lost? No, If the cause is of paramount importance, and surely the Palestine cause is one such,you re-group get stronger and resist; you do not swallow the occupiers Shekels, obfuscations and deceptions, and you do not get into bed with them. Read their instruction manual, it clearly instructs, "By deception thou shall succeed", and nothing else can account for the Inhumane, wretched and dire circumstances, the Palestinians are now mired in; and where pray, is the Arab and Muslim support? It is busy sucking on the occupiers teats, and calling that "normalisation". The shame and disgrace of this will sit with the Arabs and Muslims for all Eternity. Amen It Is Written.
