Air superiority wins wars. The goal is to have your troops in as little combat as possible so that they don't die. You know nothing about the military or about winning wars or about keeping troops alive.
This is the only reason why they're mad. They want more Israelis to be dying.

The way to win wars is with overwhelming force and air superiority so that the other guy dies and you do not.

You want a special term for this, something like a "ethnic cleansing by accident"? I

I keep hearing that and it's confusing. They keep saying proportional response so if hamas kills a soldier they can then kill 1 hamas soldier. Can't see how this would actually work in combat would there be a score board? Is there penalties for not being proportional?
There is no war in history that was proportional thr goal of every military is to cause maximum damage to the enemy while losing the least amount of your troops possible. Also civilians get hurt In war especially in areas like Gaza probably the most densely populated area on the planet.
Is it sad very is it unexpected no. In fact Hamas uses this very fact to hide. They know if they had a military base it would be pounded to oblivion within minutes. So they train and hide in thr civilian population.
This brings me to my last point we really don't know how many civilians actually die because we don't know how many hamas members there are.
Do you know how they identify Hamas if they have a gun and shooting at you.

The problem with this mentality is you consider the "Other guy" to be all Palestinians.
You make short little remarks like that and people visualize two men with guns fighting each other.
That's NOT the situation in Gaza
It's a person with a gun in a tank against unarmed families with children....
Again you keep calling it war when it's simply genocide.
