    Where do you find that they are indiscriminate carped bombed ? It’s mostly the other way around. And fun fact. Most of hamas‘s rockets land in Gaza, as they are shit. This kills civilians or injuries them in Gaza. And they get free healthcare in Israel. But Israel are the bad guys, I guess

      Carpet bombing requires an air force. Israel has one and Palestine does not.

        Semantics, those rockets didn’t have a guidance system. Civilian deaths become inevitable when the Internet & international scorecard for favoritibility includes the number of martyrs.

          No it isn’t semantics. You can’t carpet bomb with rockets just like you cannot with RPGs. It’s like you can’t shovel things with a hammer as it isn’t the tool for that job.

        No it doesn’t, you can carped bomb with rockets to. Carpet bombing is a strategy

          No you can’t carpet bomb with rockets. That’s not how rockets work.

          Israel is the only party engaging in this specific war crime in this conflict.

            I don’t think you know, what carpet bombing is, it’s the act of „bombing“ an area with a large amount of „bombs“. Bombs is a bit confusing, as it were mainly bombs in ww2, when it was first used. But nowadays it refers to explosives in general, indifferent of the method of delivery.

            Firing a barrage of the grad rocket system is as much of carped bombing as payload of a b52

              Carpet bombing is indiscriminately bombing a specific concentrated area oftentimes with unguided ordinance. That is neigh impossible to achieve with rockets. You could do that with missile systems but Palestine also doesn’t have many of those.

              The fact is only Israel is capable of carpet bombing in this conflict.

                How is it impossible? They have massive amounts of rockets and mortars. They are more the man capable. But the only reason you don’t learn about this, is that the iron dome is destroying them before impact

                  Because rockets and mortars aren’t capable of clustering their explosions like you can with bombs and missiles?

                    Cluster munitions =!= carpet bombing.

                    Carpet bombing is the saturation of an area with explosives. You can use multiple rockets/bombs/etc including but not limited to cluster munitions

                Maybe you could do it with cluster bombs in rockets? But I think Hamas uses unitary warheads.

        Exactly that. They gave them notice to evacuate. If they were indiscriminate carped bombing they would just do it. But they give them a heads up, so that civilians can leave the area

          Yeah totally reasonable to tell people to leave half their “country” overnight.

            Better than the alternative of just dropping bombs on them. They are at war. They will retaliate for the raid, and isn’t that nice, that they at least care to minimise civilian casualties?

          Everyone with two neurons to rub together knows their “notice” is nothing more than a fig leaf. They know it’s impossible for more of the people there to actually evacuate.

          There’s not really a physical way for that many people to move in that timeframe. The area is very densely populated, and has very bad infrastructure.

            Gaza is fkn small. You can walk across it, within 1-2hrs. The usual notice Israel is giving, is 3h. This conflict is different, as the Hamas played and found out.

              But it’s also very dense, there’s no where for the people to stay. It’s already about as dense as London.

                If the government were interesting in protecting the citizens, they would organise shelter in schools or other buildings the West founded. But they are to busy living in their mansions in the UAE

                  Oh I absolutely agree that Hamas does not care one bit about the citizens of Gaza. But I also think Israel doesn’t value their lives as much as they should, and much less than that of their own citizens.

      You my friend, are the embodiment of hypocrisy.

      There is no good side here. Only an idiot would say otherwise.

        I Hope you’ll realise that I was telling the truth. And hope that by the time, we still have an Israeli state.
