    Honestly, do you think that Israeli deference force sees a civilian building and says “let’s down that building, because it looks like civilian and we can kill lots of people there!” or “we detected rocket launch from this location, let’s destroy the point, while minimizing civilian casualties”?

    Seriously?

    And then consider what Hamas is doing/has done for comparison. Answer the same questions for Hamas.

    Yes, IDF knows that casualties are possible, and even likely, but they simply cannot stop just because Hamas uses human shields. Because then nothing would prevent Hamas to kill as many civilians as they want without ANY punishments, because they would always use human shields.

      And there it is. Fighting for survival, defending yourself, etc is one thing. “Punishment” is completely different.

      So genocide is okay in your eyes as long as a fraction of the people you bomb are terrorists? How would you feel if your loved ones died and you lost your entire neighborhood because someone living a few blocks away was a terrorist? You have no food, no water, and no home because a small percentage of the people in your neighborhood performed an action that you had no part of.

      Is it worth the current death toll? Eight thousand dead in Palestine, 24 straight days of bombing, 29 journalists killed, and 3500 dead children is okay in your book because of some terrorists? That’s not including the 21,000 people that were injured. 183,000 residential units, 221 education facilities, 24 ambulances, and 38 places of worship damaged or completely gone. 34% of hospitals on the Gaza Strip aren’t functioning. Six thousand bombs in six days. That’s the number dropped on Afghanistan in one year, and Afghanistan is 1800x bigger.

      I understand that they are hiding behind civilians, but there is a middleground between letting Hamas run wild and threatening to turn Palestine into a deserted island.
