@SammyScrounge I don't think many people would have objected to self-defence and the dismantling of Hamas. However, it has become clear that the military response has been disproportionately targeted at innocent civilians.
Gaza - not Hamas - has pretty much been destroyed, including the destruction of vital infrastructure and cultural heritage.
In addition to the use of 'dumb bombs' to cause widespread death and destruction, AI-targeted weapons have been used to target the family homes of people, when children are home, using definitions such as 'male' to identify suspected threats.
Hospitals have been besieged and have become sites of massacres. Doctors have been executed, patients left by the IDF to die.
Snipers have shot elderly women taking shelter in a church, and have disproportionately targeted children and vulnerable civilians.
Soldiers have posted openly on the internet about having carried out acts which may constitute war crimes, including torture.
While innocent people starve to death, aid is withheld and aid workers are being killed.
And the list goes on...
This is not, in the eyes of many, a just and proportionate response. Nor is it an effective one if judged against the aims of dismantling Hamas and freeing the hostages trapped in Gaza.
