Israel could just in minutes kill everyone in gaza. They have choosen not to do so in the past and are choosing now to not do so. Does civilians die in war? Yes, just like russian civilians have died when ukraine attacked military targets.

So should we thank them for not nuking a 2.3 million people? how nice of them!!

That wasn’t his point. You threw out an accusation of genocide and he refuted it.

Ask yourself, if Hamas had the a-bomb, would they hesitate to use it?

One can argue that they might but this is a hypothetical scenario that we all know that it is never going to happen.

But I think the reality that the only time it was used, it was used against civilian targets not military targets. And of course there is a justification here, it was for the greater good!

The other reality is isreal killed thousands of people before Oct 7th and did and will do. But of course there is a justification too, self-defense ..etc.

No, it can easily be argued that the reason is nuclear fallout that will affect isreal itself and other states will lead to regional war and disaster for isreal. This does no refute anything.

Just so everyone understands the scale - Russia killed 550 Ukrainian children in 2.5 yrs of war.

In less than 3 weeks, Israel has killed 3000. [1]

Edit: Could someone please explain why this comment has been flagged?

Not true. You are comparing independently verified deaths from external sources with Hamas own propaganda. Only in Mauripol russia is believed to have killed around 70 000 civilians.

One clip, from a home security system, shows a father rushing two of his young sons — it’s early in the morning, and they’re all in their underwear — from their living room into a bomb shelter, really a concrete shed, in their backyard. The video then cuts to the backyard. A Hamas gunman, apparently off-screen, throws something into the shelter. There’s an explosion, a body slumps over into the doorway, and two terrorists appear on screen. They enter the shelter, pulling the boys out by the arm. Later, back in the house, one of the terrorists offers the boys water that he pulled from the family’s fridge. One responds: “I want my mom, mom.” A subsequent clip shows a middle-aged woman approaching the shelter with two armed Israelis wearing helmets but not IDF uniforms; upon seeing the dead father, she slumps over, apparently in despair, and they pull her away, as the Hamas attack was still occurring.

The video also hints at the use of rape by Hamas attackers. Early indications of this were shrugged off or batted away by some of the terrorist group’s sympathizers in the West, who said that a widely circulated video of a girl being pulled out of a jeep in Gaza with blood-soaked pants was not enough proof.

The Israeli government says there is evidence, however. During a segment of the video centered on the carnage at the now-notorious music festival at Re’im, first responders look at the corpse of a young woman, her skirt pulled up above her waist. At this point, Israeli military attaché Guy Barak provided context to reporters from the first responders: “She was raped, then burned.” The video also apparently shows her friends trying to identify her by her tattoo. Barak later mentioned “evidence that the women were raped and the legs had been broken.” This had occurred “systematically,” he added. When asked by journalists during a briefing that followed the screening if he believes that Israel is losing the PR war, Major General Mickey Edelstein answered by saying that he’s “amazed that some have tried to minimize what happened in Israel” by equating Hamas’s acts to Israel’s strikes in Gaza. He added: “We’re acting by different values.”

I mean, war crimes take place in the context of war, so anything standard during a war would also be pretty common during a war crime. I don't think you can really draw any conclusions from that.

it's also a standard step in shutting down terrorist organizations who need to communicate with the outside world to get their orders (from Iran)
