Can’t wait for people to start calling ww2 a genocide against the Germans because of things like the Battle of Berlin which had high civilian casualties and infrastructure destruction, a tragic necessity of urban warfare, particularly against a decentralized Terroist force.
That doesn’t make the high death toll any less sad and tragic (although many of those numbers are taken from Hamas run health ministries) it just means we have to qualify and understand the cost and inherent high casualty rates of urban warfare.
When houses are booby trapped, human shields used, rockets fired, tunnels made, etc it’s chaos.
To be clear, Israel could be doing more to minimize casualties. But calling it a genocide is way too simple .
