All available evidence shows that Israel has followed the laws of war, legal obligations, best practices in civilian harm mitigation and still found a way to reduce civilian casualties.
Pretty much higher than may think or assume from a stranger in internet.
And I will not move an inch from my previous statement. Basically because nobody will admit this claim for a very reasonable reason. It is a lie.
The number of collateral damage and casualties in this counter terrorist operation (using their wording) is totally out of the scale in any urban conflict in the last 30 years. Mainly because before a city is sieged is usually evacuated. While in this condition the innocents and civilian are trapped with nowhere to go.
Idf has a very long track of using human shields (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/un-report-accuses-israeli-forces-of-using-palestinian-children-as-human-shields-abusing-children-in-custody/), commiting war crimes of every type (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-expert-says-israel-has-committed-genocide-gaza-calls-arms-embargo-2024-03-26/), forging evidences (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/unrwa-report-says-israel-coerced-some-agency-employees-falsely-admit-hamas-links-2024-03-08/) or even directly lying (https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/12/middleeast/israel-hamas-beheading-claims-intl/index.html), so the credibility of any Israel claim is very thin at the moment.
As you can notice all the links are backed by the very terrorist supporter U.N. And CNN.
And not speaking that the article is AN OPINON ARTICLE of a single person who choose to believe things without using any kind of crosscheck to any other number. So I did the work for you, here is the comparition of the deaths of Gaza VS some other conflicts (https://english.elpais.com/international/2024-01-22/25000-deaths-in-gaza-why-the-destruction-of-this-war-exceeds-that-of-other-major-conflicts.html), if the trend is maintained Gaza will end up with an order of magnitude more civillien deaths than any other conflict.
Those figures are from Hamas, they underly your entire argument and are almost certainly faked. Normal statistical data is noisy, fatalities would go up and down with attacks, and these don’t. It is perfectly linear.
When IDF soldiers exhibit illegal behavior they are generally punished, it is individual soldiers acting on their own, when Hamas commits war crimes over and over again it’s official policy, (calling for genocide, attacking civilians, stealing and preventing aid convoys, hiding in hospitals, dressing as IDF, launching indiscriminate rocket attacks.) Yet, Israel is the one being criticized and being called war criminals. It’s wild to me how obvious the double standard is.
UNRWA and Francesca Albanese, whose biases are obvious by now.
All the U.N. reports contain fake numbers, the press around the world are not telling the truth except the us and israel ones and international independent observers are biased. And of course we are not going to talk about the international trial because it will not improve the story either.
But a single article of a single person with zero worldwide relevance is the one telling the truth, and it is mainly because it supports your point of view. So obviously this guy MUST BE RIGHT.
Are you really sure that the biased and naive one are the extremely big majority of others? Like a lot of people say, when everywhere you go you smell shit, check your shoes first.
Everywhere in the world outside the Israel propaganda sphere is between concerned to horrified of what is happening in the Gaza stripe. You can read the press of a country with a lot of interest on the zone like Uruguay to check how the narrative isn’t standing the slightest scrutiny.
Israel is not in the right side of the history. And sadly the rest of the world either because nobody is moving a finger to stop it.
Hamas needs to answer for their crimes and Israel too.
