    Casualties are also 20 times higher on the Palestinian side and a lot of those are women and children.

    Israel’s casualties are lower for a number of reasons that I probably don’t have to list, pointing this out is not exactly compelling evidence that their attacks are indiscriminate (i.e., done at random or without careful judgment.) You’re making a claim about intent regarding targeting. Are they firing these rockets randomly at populated areas like Hamas does, or does the IDF carefully choose targets and tell the media specifically what the intended military target was? 🤔

    tell me again about the restraint of the IDF

    You’re ignoring the military capability and tactics they aren’t using. Israel has nukes, they could level every building in Gaza without warning people at all, they could just roll in and shoot everybody, they could use biological weapons, they could have forcibly closed the Rafah gate and kept food and water out until people starved to death, they could start a big fire, you know, actual genocide stuff, actual war crimes. They don’t. They get accused of it anyway though.

    And I will leave this here (article about the west bank)

    Israel really needs to keep its people in check and prosecute their civilians and soldiers who are breaking the law in the west bank. They need security there, that is some bullshit, I agree.
