The IDF is the most moral army in history 

Unfortunately, the IDF is up against an enemy that continues to hide behind civilians and uses fortifications purposely built for this VILE tactic.  Sometimes videos are used to document what battle conditions are like, but should not be used solely for bragging rights.

In Sudan the conflict is between 2 roughly similar combatants, and the death toll since April is 12,000. Sudanese civilians have the ability to become refugees in neighbouring countries.

In Gaza, the israelis have killed 20,000 since October 7, and the Gazans have zero ability to defend themselves from the air assault.

 

If you want to know why people are more upset by Gaza than Sudan, it's because there is no proportionality, and it's just massacre of a defenseless population. Gazans are not allowed to go elsewhere as refugees and are being killed as there are no safe areas to stay in.

 

I hope you are not trying to say that israel is not committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, as it's all recorded, and overwhelming world opinion is that israel is committing those crimes.

They never say what the feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm are, presumably because they don't.

Nothing would be good enough for the River to the Sea Israel demonizers short of Israel doing nothing and inviting Hamas to fullfill their charter (kill all the Jews).

If israelis don't want to be villified, they should not have blown over 7,000 children to bits with big bombs from safety high in the sky.

Agree, having no place to hide or escape to describes a horrible situation in Gaza.  Both Israel and Hamas are responsible.  But how do you justify putting all the blame on Israel for the massive casualties.  You like to compare this to similar situations elsewhere.  The population density is mostly the reason for the high rate.  Even when Israel asked for evacuations to the South. Hamas attempted to stop it.  Hamas operatives were caught red handed stealing humanitarian aid intended for the civilian population.  You never mentioned the videos of that.  If one side surrenders and hostilities stop, the killing stops.  Anyone who intentionally breaks a ceasefire cannot be trusted.  As Hamas is intent of fighting to the end, Israel is just as determined to finish the job.

Israel will be vilified no matter what they do.  At the end of the day Hamas will be destroyed and all of Gaza will be better off.  Then begins the task of rehabilitation and rebuilding.  Hopefully, people in the West Bank will also benefit from the destruction of Hamas. 

Yes Israel will a black eye, but Iran will have two black eyes

You forgot to deduct your mates who got killed, over 8,000 Hamas terrorists to be taken from that 20,000 figure, then of course you are still believing fatality figures published by Hamas.

Providing links with a paywall is against forum rules. 

Because many Hamas fighters do not wear uniforms it is almost impossible to distinguish civilian from military casualties.

You've copy pasted the same three times now.

 

Here the copy pasted response to your copy pasted post:

 

It's been a long while since the NYT could have been labeled as 'supportive of Israel'. Painting it this way is intentionally misleading.

 

Same goes for 'brutality against women and children', leaving out all them Hamas men out of the picture.

 

Hamas fans/Israel haters here seem very excited about the NYT story (I think like 6-8 references since last evening). So for starters, these were supplied by the USA, even as this current conflict was unfolding and going on - so was the USA supplying them with some caveat about them not being used? Was there any USA action to stop Israel from using them? I don't think so (with regard to both counts). And 200 craters - that sounds like a lot, unless, of course one recalls the total number of bombs and munitions used (making the figure more like 1% of the total, if that). As far as I'm aware, there is no analysis of how many casualties these specific bombings actually caused.

The Gazans would not have to defend themselves had Hamas refrained from starting this war.

 

As for Hamas not defending them - either through sharing the safety of its vast tunnel system, or not investing in defensive measures - take it up with Hamas leadership.

 

Gazans not allowed to go anywhere would be an issue for Egypt, and possibly other Arab countries - something which I doubt you're not aware of.

As recent videos show, the tunnels are death traps and Hamas has not allowed civilians to take refuge there.  From what I understand, the border route is being blocked by Egypt and Israel is reluctant to pressure Egypt fearing it would damage their relationship.  Both Egypt and Israel are caught between a rock and a hard place.  Sorry, I should have clarified my position about who is responsible for this mess.  I am tired of the blame game because it solves nothing and you are smart enough to know that.

If the tunnels were death traps, Hamas casualties would be higher.

Regardless, if they had opened them to the general public, Israel would not have the same freedom attacking them.

Maybe a miscalculation on their parts, or maybe they see the civilian death toll as more beneficial for the 'cause'.

 

Israel did pressure Egypt to take in refugees, but was rebuffed. The point being that this part is Egypt's choice, not Israel's.

Obviously, this could have been done years ago, as well.

Whenever I look for information online I first check to see how current it is.  The situation has been evolving so rapidly it is easy to be misled or misinformed.  In the case of the Gaza/Egypt border I missed the part of Israel being rebuffed.

As for the safety of the tunnels I am basing my assessment on the Israeli attempt to flood them with seawater.  There is also the intent of the IDF to destroy all of the tunnels.  This is a very complicated war and I along with others have difficulty in keeping up.  My reason for posting is not to only express my opinions, but also to learn from others.

The flooding with sea water thing made some headlines and then sort of dissipated. I guess it was not quite as feasible, or timely a solution.

But regardless of that and the bombing campaign - the reason Israel bombs the tunnels freely is because they are not hosting civilians.

 

So it comes down to Hamas choices of which path to choose.

I think that for Hamas, there's greater value is casualties, seeing as the tunnels could be rehabilitated with future aid money.
