Israel vs Iran: we can put a bomb in the window of an apartment building in Tehran in minutes. We know where they are at all times and strike with surgical precision.
Israel vs Gaza: we can't possibly know what's happening in this country we have completely surrounded with full air superiority and constant surveillance and also the country is the size of a postage stamp, there's just no other way forward than carpet bombing :( they got tunnels. Tunnels!!
This is the crux of it. Israel will claim the most precise and capable military and intelligence in the world, and then they’ll turn around and kill tens of thousands of women and children in order to “get to the terrorists”. This has never been an acceptable strategy in the court of public opinion, and yet you are called a nazi for questioning this behavior.
In case you missed it? Hamas hides everything behind civilians. They hide soldiers, munitions and infrastructure to make it impossible to knock them out without civilian casualties & infrastructure being damaged.
This war has the lowest % of civilian to military losses than any comparable conflict in history. The single battle of Ortona in WW2 saw 13% of the civilian population killed in 4 days. Even if Hamas' numbers are true (they are not, but that's another matter) the % is far from that after 2 years of fighting with Hamas actively trying to get civilians killed & killing them themselves too.
