Did people say the same thing about radar technology 80 years ago, though? a new tech that filters through data to infer a possible combatant location... seems like the same abstraction, to be honest.
80 years ago we were intentionally firebombing European civilian populations. I don't think it's a comparable situation. Israel has no justification for engaging in total war tactics (or rather, the justification is contemptible and holds no water).
