Civilian life was never a priority

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 29 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a hard sell to say that it was.

Israel: We are using surgical strikes and guided missles to uproot Hamas.

† 15,000 people killed †

World: So you specifically targeted all those 15,000 people?

Israel: How could you be so anti-semitic??

Narrator: Turns out they were actually not trying to minimize civilian casualties at all.

Yeah, it's not about targeting Hamas. It's about killing as many Palestinians and destroying as much of Gaza as possible. They said so themselves

Yes it is, just not in the way it usually is. ENDING civilian lives is very much a priority of their genocidal campaign.
