So the Hospitals were calculated?
Israel is using much newer rockets than hamas. Misfires are not likely.
That has been obvious for at least 40 years but yep. This is how carpet bombing looks like with modern weaponry.
No, if there was carpet bombing, death toll would be in millions.
The thing is: What’s going on in Gaza right now is the modern equivalent of carpet bombing. When you can call in airstrikes with building-level accuracy, there’s no reason to bomb whole cities to the ground anymore, so what Israel is doing now is its spiritual successor.
Whilst I agree that Israel is willing to cause a lot of damage just to get rid of a small amount of Hamas members, it’s definitely very far from carpet bombing (of Dresden, for example) where there are several warnings to leave the critical zones.
They sometimes send warnings (that Gazans aren’t always able to receive). A lot of the time they don’t. Also like the other guy said, Israel has dropped enough bombs for 6 Dresdens. They just didn’t do it all at once.
It is impossible to make sure every inhabitant of Gaza gets the warning. However, it is quite a lot of warnings when they know who is registered under which telecom network, so they can mass send SMSs and also leaflets. Without those warnings, there would be far more causalities. And it is quite a good point that they did not do it all at once. That means civilians have some time to leave.
There were 3/4 of a million people in Gaza before this started. For 2 months, anything that didn’t have a standalone generator or solar panels has been shut down. No food, no water, no medicine except dwindling stocks and the pittance Israel lets through for the media.
According to 3rd party estimates, Israel has dropped over 25,000 tons of bombs so far. That’s over 6 times the total for the Dresden bombing. And Israel even claimed they used 4,000 pounds in just the first week.
You really think that’s not carpet bombing? That the death toll is nothing?
