You are claiming every house in Rafah was inspected, either by drone or by forcing civilians to inspect them (forced labor in a very dangerous situation in a war zone aka a war crime). That's absurd.
Nobody claimed that.
DrZoidberg claimed that Hamas booby trapped every civilian house in Rafah (post
#9975)
I openly wondered how the IDF knew the houses had been booby trapped (post
#9976), how the civilians avoided the booby traps and why, if the civilians could avoid them the IDF couldn't.
You said the houses were inspected by drones (post
#9995) and that civilians were asked (at gunpoint?) to demonstrate that their homes weren't booby trapped, which would have required a comprehensive examination, via drone and in person by IDF forces, in order to determine that somewhere "in the ballpark" of 100% of the homes in Rafah were booby trapped
Just that the number of houses that were booby trapped was in the ballpark of 100%.
So now you are claiming that the number of houses in Rafah that were booby trapped was "in the ballpark" of 100%. That's a distinction that makes no difference, but let's go with it anyway.
And the evidence that supports this claim is where, exactly? It wasn't in DrZoidberg's post and it wasn't in yours, either.
I would really like to see the evidence. DrZoidberg and you are basically saying that Hamas, with scant resources to manufacture explosives and almost no ability to import anything except by carrying in through tunnels the IDF has been actively trying to destroy, was able to assemble
over 50,000 booby traps that were then placed in housing units in Rafah. If true, then Israel has no real hope of winning a war against them and their Super McGuyver skills.
Do you genuinely believe that, or are you shoveling fresh bullshit to make it easier for you to shift the goalposts?
And note that there's no force. Lots of claims of civilians being asked to demonstrate something isn't booby trapped, zero claims of civilians being blown up by said booby traps. It's booby trapped, the civilian refuses to show it's not, IDF assumes trapped. Nobody gets hurt.
Forcing civilians to participate in military operations being conducted by their declared enemies is a war crime.
And if the IDF was
assuming something was trapped, you can't use the IDF actions as evidence it was trapped.
You just undermined DrZoidberg's claim and demonstrated the utter ridiculousness of your defense of it.
You are also claiming that the civilians, nearly a third of whom are young children and toddlers, know what will set the booby traps off and can safely live, work, and play among them, which is even more absurd.
Obviously they do not normally set such traps where there are young kids. (We do have that case where supposedly Israel shelled a beach--no, that was a mine that Hamas screwed up and some beachgoer set it off.) But remember the area in question was mostly evacuated.
And you are claiming that before a house was destroyed the IDF would politely ask the families who lived there to prove their houses weren't booby trapped, which implies a house-to-house ground operation so extensive it made the Battle of Fallujah look like a fight between rival street gangs, an operation that would not have resulted in entire neighborhoods destroyed unless Hamas' abilities and resources rival Tony Stark's.
Don't be ridiculous.
Why do you find it unreasonable? We are not talking about an actual firefight situation. And booby traps are cheap.
Do you, or do you not, believe Hamas had enough explosive material and triggering devices to make over 50,000 booby traps and the personnel to properly situate and arm them in housing units in Rafah after the civilian residents left?
Also, do you think they used Stark tech or Hammer tech?
