The target is Hamas. Some innocents are dying, but the intent isn’t to deliberately kill them. And there is no evidence any of those other criteria are even happening.

There is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fP-J8m-BF0 , NY Times: Visual Evidence Shows Israel Dropped Bombs Where It Ordered Gaza Civilians to Go

> Where It Ordered Gaza Civilians to Go

to be specific: actual content says Israel asked civilians to move to South Gaza, while claim is that they still targeted targets there.

Given your stance, if a murderer runs in your house then you'll understand when the police break the door down and kill you and everyone inside right?

Expand that a bit, if the murder runs into your house and then uses it as a staging ground to start killing your neighbors, there is a high risk the SWAT team is coming in guns a blazing.

If a murderer lives in your house for decades and you knew they were a murderer and were plotting more murders but you did nothing to root them out yourself, maybe you’re an accessory. It probably doesn’t justify the death penalty, but it also doesn’t help.

So you would kill civilians, women and children on a "maybe" and would indiscriminately judge 500k people the same way.

I don’t particularly know what to think about the common separation of woman from the population in these discussions.

I understand that Palestine is probably somewhat misogynistic compared to my American sensibilities, so I might be completely off base, but it feels like women would have a lot of political influence, even if it’s soft.

Or maybe they’re just treated like property and don’t know better due to poor educational prospects and tradition.

I'm not sure it's possible to look at what Israel is doing and say it's not terror. So, charitably, I guess you're saying the IDF is not an organization?

> Frankly, given that there have been actual genocides in the recent past that have gone largely ignored, the over representation of Palestinian views in today’s media is likely the work of bad faith actors ... This argument is made often on the internet, but the Occam's Razor explanation is that people are paying attention to Gaza because it's much easier to do reporting from Israel than from other conflict zones. I…

Also because it’s been an ongoing thing for 75 years. The logistics for reporting have been setup.

You can't dismiss "think of the children" as a talking point when children are actually dying. This isn't FOSTA, this is an actual war with bullets and bombs and dead children on both sides. You should be thinking about the children.

Children have always been treated differently because they are fully and absolutely dependent on their care givers.

A puppy and a grown dog don’t actually apply here because we’re talking about humans and not dogs. It’s not even appropriate to make that comparison here.
