There’s no evidence that Israel is targeting the civilian population of Gaza. If they were, they wouldn’t have warned them to evacuate south of the Wadi over a week ago.

Hamas routinely places military targets such as rocket launch sites, headquarters, and weapons productions centers directly alongside and underneath civilian population centers. They do this to manipulate gullible people like you and they are succeeding. Israel is right not to care about such foolish opinions when Hamas has vowed to repeat the massacres of October 7 repeatedly as long as they exist. They are not the ones pursuing a genocidal policy.

I understand. Instead of civil discourse you prefer to have ad hominem laden discussions about your insults and strawmen? A tactic commonly used in lieu of sound arguments as you may be aware. But granted, this issue is "too close to home" for some people, a level-headed discussion can be too much to ask for.

I guess we're done here. Have a nice day.

You’re the one throwing around words like “genocide” and you’re going to complain and ignore my perfectly sound arguments because I said “gullible” and “foolish”? Give me a break. It’s a fact that Hamas deliberately uses human shields by placing their headquarters, rocket launch sites, and weapons productions facilities around and underneath civilian population centers. It’s also a fact that it’s these facilities, not the civilian population, that Israel has consistently targeted. You can’t address these facts so you get upset that I’m characterizing your opinions as “foolish”.
