I totally forgot the time Nelson Mandela burned children alive, kidnapped kids and the elderly and just brutally murdered unarmed civilians...

Far be it from me to defend everything that Israel does. But even during the current bombings Israel tracks cellphone signals to try and bomb areas with minimal civilian presence. There's a huge difference between collateral damage and explicitly targeting civilians.

Israel tried to let more Gazans into its borders to work and reduce the burden on the people living there (not enough but it was improving) the Hamas chose murder with complete disregard to the lives of the Palestinian people in Gaza. They are WAY worse than anything the French resistance did, and they were fighting damn nazis.

> And since when does Israel avoids civilians?

Always? They have been very clear about trying to avoid civilian casualties. Saying they are not always successful doesn't prove anything when you are fighting an entrenched enemy that is using human shields.

Around the guard towers and military outposts surrounding Gaza, Israel had villages and concert venues - Israel's human shields.

Rofl are you serious? Human shield is something like launching rockets from a playground, the roof of an apartment building, a mosque etc. Having a village a mile *behind* the border wall is not a human shield.

They just have their state sanctioned and militarily protected settlers do it for them. Totally not government sanctioned.
