It’s essentially just this; in urban warfare with entrenched enemies you can choose who suffers, but not whether there’s suffering. The endeavor is inherently horrific, and that horror in both the cases of Ukraine and Gaza are dictated by the decision by one party to use the urban environment to maximize casualties. Whether it’s the Russians in Bucha or Hamas in tunnels under schools, both are fully aware of what they’re doing. Unfortunately the mentality of most people has been grossly oversimplified to the point of staging everything as a melodrama.
