What the media (and others) get wrong about Israel bombing Gaza.

Most media about the conflict now are false claims that Israel is bombing indiscriminately, or even carpet bombing Gaza.

After 2.5 weeks of conflict, the IDF and their 350,000 mobilized soldiers, with their overwhelmingly powerful military, equipped with heavy artillery, fighter jets, precision weapons, and almost absolute green air, have inflicted less than 3 times as many casualties as ~3000 Hamas militants were able to inflict in Israel in 2 days, using small arms and home made rockets. And that’s according to the Gaza Health Ministry, an arm of Hamas that deliberately inflates civilian casualties, and reports the deaths of Palestinians killed by Hamas, PIJ, and others, including for not supporting their war effort, but also collateral damage, as victims of the Israeli campaign.

This is because Israel is trying to minimize civilian casualties, and Hamas/PIJ/PFLP/DFLP and even Fatah are deliberately trying to kill as many Israelis as they can—especially civilians.

It’s incredibly obvious to the point that if you can’t figure it out, it seems as though you’re making a conscious decision to favor the bad guys.
