Do you truly believe that Israel carpet bombs Gaza, or is it just a figure of speech (to make an impression on a reader who doesn't know better)? This is carpet bombing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phzRY0DdRXk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phzRY0DdRXk This is a typical Israeli strike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAT1uBNcOHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAT1uBNcOHU And while we're at it, this is indiscriminate bombing of an Israeli town of Sderot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRz3nHwgjHY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRz3nHwgjHY

My bad. Let's call it "indiscriminate bombing" instead then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqAmIcIpq_4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqAmIcIpq_4 The "knock on the door" technique employed by the IDF seems very considerate by the way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjxsrqCdl-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjxsrqCdl-4

  What makes you think bombing in that video was indiscriminate? On the opposite, I see single buildings being destroyed, while the neighbouring buildings stay intact. That's a very precise strike by any standard. Furthermore, there is nothing to convince me these buildings were not occupied by Hamas terrorists (which are known to hide behind civilian population). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Oqo_wmuGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Oqo_wmuGo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0wJXf2nt4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0wJXf2nt4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrWy3PT6zc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrWy3PT6zc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPU4UN03t7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPU4UN03t7E And yes, I agree with you that knocking on the roof is a very considerate "last warning". Which other country goes to such lengths to minimize civilian loss of life? There are early warnings, too, though: by phone, text and leaflets. That's why you don't see any people running out of that house: it is already empty.
