yes, that is my point. Israeli bombings of Gaza were far more precise and less directed at a civilian population

also the population was warned to evacuate in advance, nothing that the germans or japanese had the benefit of

> Israeli bombings of Gaza were far more precise and less directed at a civilian population

They were literally intentionally directed at civilian population. With special focus on healthcare workers. The attempt to starve them was intentional too.

There was even open rhetoric about that.

    no, they were directed at the militant organizations in Gaza while the civilian population was warned to evacuate in advance.

    the only thing you can base this on is the fact hamas intentionally does not publish its dead, all of the casualties are "civilians", and Hamas was caught either converting dead militants to "journalists" and such or completely inflating its statistics such as the 500 false dead in the hospital "attack".

    if you compare this to a similar contemporary war with reliable statistics like the war against hezbollah, you can see Israel was clearly able and successful in targeting militants.

    regarding "starvation" even according to unreliable Hamas statistics these are minuscule, while if you will look at instagram there was actually a restaurant and food blogging scene in gaza throughout the war which is very inconsistent with mass famine

    • Can you explain what happened to Hind Rajab? She was the five year old girl who was the only survivor of a missile attack and managed to call emergency services, and so humanitarians called up Israel and agreed to clear a specific path where they wouldn't be shot so they could save the little girl, and they drove a van with a big red cross painted on top on that exact route, and when they got to the little girl and got out of the ambulance, they were all murdered by a precisely targeted missile aimed at the precise coordinates they gave to Israel, set for the precise time when the ambulance would get there, and there was nobody else around who could be a target since they all died in the first missile attack that only the little girl survived? Can you explain how that is not intentional targeting of civilians and medical personnel?

      I suppose you'll just say it didn't happen, but if it did, the medics were Hamas.
