you’re a military vet. did you skip the class on LOAC? civilian non combatants are not targets and intentionally targeting them (as the IDF is doing) is a big no-no. It’s called a war crime. so is bombing anything with a big ass red cross or crescent.
Okay, so, Fallujah and Gaza are similar in that they are both urban warfare. That’s about it. the US set up checkpoints around the city and allowed civilians to flee. In gaza, there’s nowhere to go. IDF is attacking where they are telling the civilians to flee to. Red cross estimated 800 civilian casualties in Fallujah. As of 7 December, there are over 17,000 Palestinian casualties , it’s estimated that 61% (about 10,000) are civilians. That leaves only 39% to be actual combatants. Remember, killing noncoms is a war crime.
Fallujah mas also much smaller. Gaza is an order of magnitude larger. Bit somehow, the IDF is managing to outpace the US forces in Fallujah in terms of displacing those civilians too. 80 percent of Gazans are displaced, around 1.7 million civilians. In Fallujah, that number was closer to 200k (about 57%)
Fallujah is one of the worst battles in the war on terror. Yet somehow even we didn’t fuck it up for civilians there as bad as the IDF is doing in Gaza.
Then by that standard, the IDF is comprised of a bunch of terrorists. Most of the guys I served with in the air force too. No, terrorists are made by oppressing innocent people for decadesand trampling their human rights. Those brand new orphans in gaza, guess what they’ll think about Israel after this? If they didn’t hate it before, they’ll sure as hell hate them after,

LOAC allowed us to target any structure housing terrorists. That’s why we flattened Fallujah. Gaza and Fallujah are very much the same.

No, this isn’t how you fight terrerists. how you make terrorists.

That last point seems to be the only thing I can agree on with you.
Since the IDF is a legal military, they need to abide by LOAC. The fact that they are actively targeting non combatants is the main problem.
