A Revealing Story

So, Israeli soldiers shot and killed three hostages who were trying to surrender, waving a white flag. It has now emerged that, moreover, the hostages were shirtless. In other words, clearly unarmed.
Shooting an unarmed group of people waving a white flag is, of course, a flagrant and blatant war crime.
It gets worse when one asks why they did it. The most logical explanation is that they didn’t realize they were shooting Israeli hostages. This is so obviously axiomatic that I feel a bit silly typing it.
So in other words, they did it because they thought they were shooting unarmed Palestinians.
Which, of course, begs the question of how many other war crimes are being committed. The number is likely to be significant.
