    I think at some point you have to ask yourself “if killing 10s of thousands of innocent people is necessary to achieve my goal… does that make me the ‘baddie’?”

      They’re literally no better than Hamas at this point. Hamas’s who deal is, “fuck it. We’ll kill the innocent with the guilty, let Allah sort it out.”

        It’s amazing that, even after realising that Zionists are dishonest fascists, you still unthinkingly accept their characterisation of Hamas.

    That’s the only viable strategy - if there was some number of Palestinian civilians that Hamas could operate among with impunity, it would do. I don’t think Israel is currently fulfilling its obligation to protect civilians as much as is practically possible while still fighting a war effectively, but civilian casualties would be high even if it was simply due to the nature of urban warfare against an enemy operating among civilians who have nowhere to evacuate.

      Could you please point in a map of Gaza to the areas you would consider it “acceptable” for Gazans to fight in.
