    Serious question. Are there any reports of Hamas using white flags to trick IDF in the past?

      Even if there was, that wouldn’t excuse shooting first and asking questions never like the IDF did this time and every other of the thousands of times they’ve murdered civilians.

          No, your question was itself a whataboutism (what about Hamas? Have they ever tried to trick IDF that way?).

          I simply replied to the underlying assertion that, if they have, then the IDF are somehow the least bit justified in assuming that it was Hamas. Which they wouldn’t be.

          One of them shouted “look! Terrorists!” and they just started shooting without ever considering that he might be wrong.
