    I’m not holding a professional army with access to modern Western weapons to the same bar as I am people living in a region that’s been completely blockaded for decades. Israel has better ISR, more precise munitions, and far more resources. They can do better to minimize civilian casualties.

    • This is something that’s lost on people. When Israel strikes Gaza, they do so knowing it’s one of the densest places on Earth and it’ll be be nigh-impossible to avoid hitting civilians.

      That said, putting aside the conflict up to this point, while a gazan rocket is less precise than Israeli missiles, you don’t accidentally take Israeli civilians hostage in their own homes outside of Gaza.
