    The casualties suggest Hamas is collateral damage. The target, as has been made abundantly clear at this point, is the civilian population of Gaza.

      Any other army on earth would have similar civilian casualties going into that dense an area. Most would be worse.

        Hamas actually had a 2/3 civilian casualty rate compared to israels 74/75

        Of course Hamas actually risked their own lives and did targeted attacks on military bases instead of bombing children’s hospitals with guided missles.

        Fun fact, with their current targeting accuracy the IDF Nazis would need to kill more Palestinians than actually than exist in Gaza to kill Hamas.

          Hamas targeted military outposts as a means to attacking civilian targets including a music festival and families face to face. The IDF targets military targets embedded within civilian areas. Hamas embedds themselves within civilian areas to ensure maximum civilian casualties of they are targeted. This isn’t even a question at this point. The criticism is the continuation of the targeting despite it.

          Again, any army on earth would produce the same results including NATO.
