True, but it doesn't require killing civilians to accomplish. Just assassinate the Hammas leadership until there's no one left who wants to risk it. Mossad is pretty good at tracking people down.

Cut off the head and the body will die.

But, that's pretending that Israel just wants to protect itself instead of looking for an excuse to genocide.

OOOoh now I understand! Just kill Hamas, it's easy! Wish we'd thought of that sooner. Wow, war must be a breeze. No innocents ever die in wars!

If we wanted a genocide it would have happened a hell of a lot quicker. Bombing the places where the refugees are gathered, for example, instead of telling them to get out of harm's way.

The whole situation is fucked, and war is fucked. There are no easy answers.

Finally someone that gets it... People think fighting those terrorists is just like a computer game, where the objective is simple and doable. Just stroll on and kill all of the Hamas leaders, which are conveniently located in the same room. Cue the 'boss fight' music!

They don't understand how these people operate.

I mean they sometimes literally march civilians in front of their troops in active combat. It doesn't help that their fighters are sometimes dressed as civilians, either.

The IDF also has to guard those humanitarian corridors themselves otherwise Hamas would shoot down all those trying to evacuate.

If Israel didn't care about civilian deaths the war would be over on October 8th.
