The European Union on Sunday condemned Hamas for using "hospitals and civilians as human shields" in Gaza, while also urging Israel to show "maximum restraint" to protect civilians.
Being militarily more powerful does not imply that they don’t want to avoid civilian casualties. Fighting an enemy who primarily employ terrorist tactics causes a large amount of civilian casualties, and Gaza being one of the most densely populated areas in the world makes it even worse.
If we consider some sort of an upper limit how many civilians you theoretically could kill, there’s nazis. They killed 1,5 million jews in 100 days. And that’s only jews. Now, you don’t have to be redoing the holocaust in order to qualify for an atrocity of course, but Israel is definetely not trying to kill as many civilians as they can. This would look very different if they were.
So obviously the answer is kill the civvies
Israel, to their credit, are taking steps to avoid civilian casualties, including leaflet drops, phone calls, and the infamous “roof knocking”.
Looking at the numbers they are doing great. For years even, championing, killing and injuring 20+ times more.
