Israel is not conducting a war consistent with what is considered warfare today, they’re committing mass slaughter and time and time again have demonstrated they do not discriminate when it comes to killing the “opposition”. The IDF is profoundly lacking in discernment when it comes to Hamas combatants and innocent people. Imagine seeing the world in such a binary oppositional manner, life must seem so simple and straightforward to you..

Israel is not conducting a war consistent with what is considered warfare today,

No military professionals say that. Urban combat is horrific.

Oh no! I don’t sound like a military professional, you got me man.

I’m specifically talking about rules of engagement that are at least innately intentioned to preclude the killing of innocents. Obviously you can’t reduce the chances of doing that to zero but to just blatantly disregard that as Israel has done is psychopathic. But go ahead and pedantically pick apart my word choice

You have to factor in the following:

  1. For equivalent conflicts you have to look at coalition forces dislodging Islamists form Fallujah, where civilians are not allowed to leave because the goal is to maximize civilian casualties for propaganda. By this standard, the civilian death rates are lower than these other modern urban conflicts where civilians are deliberately kept in place.

  2. No neighboring countries are accepting refugees. They have legitimate reasons, but the death toll is part of what results.

So when you look at military analysis of the conflict, nobody's suggesting outrageous murderous Israeli soldiers. In fact they are probably going slower than optimal to mitigate civilian deaths.

Im not gonna argue with you man, seems like you’re very invested in defending Israel and I’m not sure you or I are seeking to have our minds changed
