    You still have avoided answering my key questions.

    Israel refute the Gaza deathtoll lfrom Palestinian sources as false. However, Israel do not publish their own numbers to support their objections.

    How many civilians are acceptable casualties in Gaza, as far as the IDF are concerned??

    The IDF have been tacitly reluctant in answering this question.

    Their avoidance here us only just shy of accountability for their actions, if it even meets that bar.

      The first one, what’s the question?

      I’m sure any sane person would answer no civilians casualties are acceptable. Which one of many reasons why Hamas must be eradicated, co-locating to intentionally cause the death of civilians. It’s why what Hamas is doing by co-locating is one of the worst war crimes.

      As for reluctance, I think it’s about everyone knows that nobody except Hamas wants civilian casualties. Look even here on worldnews how successful they’ve been with that propaganda.

      And that doesn’t even mention the regular attacks by Iraq, Houthis, Syrians, etc on US troops and civilian shipping lanes.

        My questions were pretty clear:

        Israel have, so far, killed more than 10x the number of people Hamas did in one day. When is enough, enough?

        How many Palestinian civilians need to die before Israel is satisfied?

        Israel want to “eradicate” Hamas, but haven’t really defined that objective. It’s a very vague objective, and one that cannot foreseeably be attained. As such it raises the very valid question of how many civilians they consider as acceptable collateral damage to achieve that objective.

        Based on their general public statements, it seems like that number is unforgiveably high.
