All available evidence shows that Israel has followed the laws of war, legal obligations, best practices in civilian harm mitigation and still found a way to reduce civilian casualties.

    Second reply- you won’t get a balanced reply on lemmy. There is a known bias against Israel and a push to promoting one sided articles and arguements from the likes of MEE and democracynow.org. The ignorance is wilful and fixed, to the point Hamas war crimes are justified as “they have no choice”, regardless of the evidence.

        Agree - no one in this thread is justifying Hamas (its actually a pretty well referenced thread TBH) but these arguements are ones I have noticed over a number of months rather than a specific thread. I don’t have 25 year experience but studied it at bachelor level.

        I do find it interesting your comment back jumps straight to number of kids. Please don’t take my step back and assess attitude for indifference - people die in war, especially those in high density urban environments where one side is a terrorist organization and the other attacks places that have lost protection. There is alot of shit wrong with this conflict, but by no means is Israel the only one causing it - you haven’t mentioned anything on how attacks are carried out on civilian structures because Hamas is using human shields either. You will argue civilian deaths are high - I fully agree because that is what happens in asymmetric and unconventional warfare.
