    If Israel had responded proportionately to Oct 7, the world would have continued to ignore their cruel apartheid.

      The tunnels were the means of attack.

      Destroying the tunnels is the literal definition of a proportionate response.

      Combined with reasonable attempts to warn civilians, it’s kosher.

        Not when reasonable effort to warn civilians is: we’re going to bomb you, and if you run we’ll bomb you too.

          Actually they send texts, call phones, and fire warning shots. The Qatari media you gorge yourself on has covered it zero times.

          Are you saying they did not warn people before moving into Rafah?

          That’s delusional.

            That’s not what I am denying, read my comment again. What I am saying is that the warnings are just for show, because if they follow the warnings and flee, the IDF kills them while they are on the run

              98% of Gaza says that’s not true.

              You’re conflating a few isolated stories from the initial days of the war during the evacuation of northern Gaza when they said “go south toward general safety,” not “go south and your safety is guaranteed.”

              At that time, 99.94% of the civilian population evacuated without harm.

              At any rate “don’t stand above tunnels and stay the fuck away from any members of Hamas or die” would have been very clear to me.
