Israel doesn't slaughter civilians. In fact, asymmetric tactics and terror attacks against civilians is constantly perpetrated by hamas (as evidenced on 10/7)

Look up settlement activities, with armed settlers activity removing family often with the blessing of the IDF.

> Israel doesn't slaughter civilians It’s hard to square this statement against the 13-to-25,000 estimated (Assoc Press vs Al Jazeera) dead women and children in the last 6 months though. Just objectively speaking, that is a shocking number of civilian deaths even at the low end.

  What? No, it's quite easy to 'square' it actually. Civilian casualties are inevitable when hamas embeds itself into the civilian populace and forces them to stay in the positions they operate from. Did you have similar outrage when the Russian air force was dropping 1000lb dumb bombs on similarly densely populated cities in Syria from 2015-2017? I guarantee you a lot more civilians died needlessly in places like aleppo and palmyra than Israel has ever 'slaughtered'.

    There are confirmed accounts from inside the Israeli army that they select their targets algorithmically without confirmation, wait for their target to enter a residential building, and then bomb the building, accepting up to tens of civilian collateral damage to kill one "suspected Hamas operative". Remember that Hamas operates most government functions within Gaza, so anyone seen doing organizing work to help Palestinians survive could be categorized as a "Hamas operative" by the IDF.

Over 34000 dead Palestinians, most of whom were women and children, including in the west bank where Hamas doesn't operate disagree with you. Also they're starving Palestinians, and preventing aid from entering, which would be used by starving malnourished children and critically injured people (including children too).
