Is this really a “fight to the death”? Hamas already accepted a cease fire. In fact it seems that only the Israelis want a “fight to the death”, given that they broke the cease fire and seem to have no intention of resuming negotiations. Given the extreme disparity in military capabilities between Hamas and the IDF, and the extreme disparity in casualties, are the Israelis really fighting to the death? Or are they just engaging in indiscriminate killing?

In no modern times did one side complete erase the other side. Hell, even 2000 years ago many regular romans were disgusted by the brutality of roman soldiers against Carthage.

Israeli violence is unprecedented in several objective metrics: in pounds of bumbs dropped, percentage of civilians death, percentage of civilian household destroyed (on par with Dresden now).

Odd, all the sources I’ve read have the lowest civilian to combatant death ratio of any modern conflict.

on the Israeli side I’m guessing

It’s genuinely hard to get non-Hamas numbers, if you do take the Hamas numbers, they constantly shift wildly in both directions.

Wait, "follow the Geneva Conventions" is high expectations?
