Canada demands investigation into water well destroyed by Israeli troops in Gaza

The Israeli military says it’s looking into what happened last month when its soldiers were filmed planting explosives and destroying a water-processing facility in the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering.

I think the logic goes like this:
Hamas is made up of Palestinian civilians. Therefore, any civilian infrastructure in a Palestinian area is de facto Hamas infrastructure and must be eliminated.
- They’re going to destroy all of it, it’s just a matter of time. Israel will never let a terrorist attack like that ever happen again and the Palestinians civilians can thank hamas for that.
  
  Christ. Yeah the extremely disproportionate response to violence from Hamas, which Isreal created and helped perpetuate, is definitely justified and those 10,000+ child casualties can solely thank Hamas for that. This has definitely worked every time conflict arises, no need to read up on any history at all.
  
  What next they will kill all lebanese because of hizbollah and then iran?

The israeli military will report to it's big brother (US) that it did nothing wrong and then the US will clear them of any wrong doing, shut down everyone critical, and write them a big check to do more of the same or worse things.
I would like a satire version of reality where the miscommunication was "get rid of all Hamas", and the middle tier memo came over the wire as "Get rid of all Hummus". And then someone clicks and is like wait, we destroyed everything over hummus? That is how widespread the destruction is. Hummus is everywhere
- Ha!
  As a fan of hummus, that sounds like horror or dystopia genre to me :P
  
  It is why it came to mind. I love hummus too. I've been buying bags of dried chick peas and rehydrating with spiced water. Then toasting up sesame seeds and blending with all the other stuff. Works out much cheaper than those store tubs. Take you to the Hummus Shop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ndQkntBW_E
