The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”

The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier. The teams do not appear to be acting unusually or in a threatening manner as three medics emerge and head toward the stricken ambulance.

    If your post said what you wanted it to say, without missing a sentance explaining the part you kept in your head, people wouldn’t have to “figure out” that you are saying the opposite of what it sounds like you are saying, because “you know” you would never say what it looks like you are saying.

    You just need a second sentence about how it’s hypocracy that they said that or something. The part that you know in your head, but didn’t put “on paper”.

    It’s like, in speaking, you could just emphasise the right syllables the right way and that string of text would read exactly how you intend it to. But in text, that doesn’t work.

    It’s like putting down the lyrics to a song without the melody and expecting everyone to sing it the same way you hear it in your head. Only works if they already know the melody. There is no way for us to know your melody, so you instead can’t write ambiguously. If you want other people to follow along.
