    The uncomfortable answer is yes. Civilians die in war, as distasteful as that is. However, there is 1000% more criticism against Israel for a lower number of civilian casualties than in other conflicts.

      7000 civilians in Palestine have died in under 3 weeks. That’s a genocide in progress, not “unfortunate casualties”. The designated refugee camp was deliberately bombed, and then the emergency responders were bombed while trying to save civilians. That is deliberate.

      Ah yes let the pro Israelis lecture us on the value of life and uncomfortable truths.

      An uncomfortable truth is that Israel is deliberately killing people at this point.
