    lol come on, bot. You didn’t even provide the number of “unintended” (quoted because I’m sure they just don’t really give a shit) casualties the Israelis are causing.

    From the article: it’s ~300/day

      Where does it say 300 “unintended” casualties a day? The only reference I can find in the article is an average of 300 a day total.

        Civilian casualties are generally implicitly considered to be unintentional. I’m just saying that I don’t think the IDF is putting much effort at all into minimizing civilian casualties.

          Yeah, the article doesn’t specify 300 civilian deaths, it’s all encompassing. Casualties also includes injuries, not just deaths.

            From the top of the article:

            On average, nearly 300 people have been killed each day since the start of the conflict, excluding the seven-day ceasefire, data from Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry indicates. The World Health Organization’s regional emergency director Richard Brennan says he considers these casualty figures trustworthy.

            Your “akshually” reaction could be charitably described as grating and diversionary. Don’t be an ass.
