U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning Israel that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.

But that's literally the target, Hamas.

Wait a minute, you don't believe it's even just maybe disregard for life, you genuinely believe Israel is targeting citizens?

Projection does seem to be a strong attribute of the right and someone can't stop screaming terrorist while bombing whole families of doctors and journalists out of existence. Does that seem so far fetched that they've taken a whole part of a country hostage? Because Bibi literally said releasing the hostages is the only way to get a ceasefire and I'm unsure how to tell you this, but that sounds like terrorism on an even grander scale.

I'm not joking though, if you say something bluntly stupid here I'm calling this conversation DOA

Frankly, and maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you didn't answer the question. You genuinely believe Israel is targeting civilians?

Yes?

They have bombed every civilian hotzone under the pretense that it allegedly contained Hamas militants, as if that somehow excuses the insane civilian casualties, but also without showing any significant evidence.

The closest thing we got was some really dumb 3D render claim about bunkers hidden under a hospital, which hasn't been proven by the rubble of said hospital.

But don't you think Israel would be smarter about going and targeting civilians if it was true?

Like, wouldn't it avoid schools, hospitals and ambulances etc.?

Why would it bomb less dense areas with supposed humanitarian status, just to create a PR nightmare for itself for "low" numbers?

There's no need for them because they already have a local rhetoric that Palestinians are all the same, and because the USA will continue to back their actions with very little consequences.

ie they're evil and they don't care about PR lol.

Nazi Germany made it abundantly clear that they were some superhuman white race. They didn't care if it didn't make sense or try to hide it.

I get your logic, but it doesn't really apply to genocidal regimes. You can even look at recent events, like the bosnian genocide which was only 30 years ago. Serbia didn't hide its actions at all, it was pretty proud of showing off how they were rounding up and massacaring Bosnians.

A similar thing happened then too in that the UN put a blockade on Serbia, but UK+France told the USA not to get invovled in helping Bosnia because the genocide benefited the christian people (no i'm not making this up, it was some really next level of sick you can read about here see:factions)
