Isn't it well known that Hamas hides behind civilians? That might explain why civilian death rate is higher
Israel is deliberately using non-precision munitions for the express purpose of doing the most damage and harm.
Israel is also deliberately funneling people along specific routes and into specific zones, declaring them safe, and then promptly attacking those routes and zones.
And Israel has deliberately targeted civilians, including doctors and and children for attack. And journalists.
And caused deliberate famine and unsanitary conditions through all of Palestine in the war crime of collective punishment. On top of the other collective punishments engaged in as early as November of last year with disabling power, water, and communications infrastructure in Palestine.
And deliberately refusing to allow aid through to civilian populations. Even when they are forced to, the aid allowed through is a mere fraction of what Palestine needs to survive the genocide they're suffering under.
That's a whole hell of a lot of civilians. Hamas... can't be hiding behind so many of them that 60% of the people killed in this slow-rolling massacre were civilians. (Really. The IDF said that for every three bodies they've generated, only one is hamas, and that those are acceptable ratios.)
"Hamas uses human shields," is an excuse that has long since evaporated in the face of the evidence.
You used to be able to... live with it when the results were something like a small, precision bomb that would kill 16 people in a house to get two high-ranking terrorists. Even Obama swallowed that bitter pill in the name of doing his job.
But not when it's 30,000. That's not hamas hiding behind anyone. That's deliberate genocide.
