If the IDF was bombing indiscriminately, then why are they using only expensive guided ammunition in dense urban areas? Wouldn't it be far cheaper to just lob unguided bombs randomly instead of announcing where they strike through telephone calls, messages, flyers, hacked TV stations and, most recently, an online service? How does your claim of indiscriminate bombing mesh with this extensive warning system they developed?

i have family in israel, i am a jew

Doesn't stop you from being uninformed. You are unintentionally spreading the propaganda of antisemites by repeating claims about indiscriminate bombing.

Apparently it doesn't stop you from being misinformed either.

The IDF haven't been doing any of that for this part of the war they've been waging for 17 years. It's laughable that you think they have. Let's go down the list of how wrong you are:

Telephone calls: there's no power.

Messages: there's no power.

Leaflets: they are doing this, but they're also bombing the safe zones they tell people to go. There's also no food, water, or shelter in the supposed safe zones.

TV: there's no power.

Online services (HAH): there's no power.

People are fucking worried about cholera cause there is no clean water, and the IDF is pumping salt water into the aquifers to destroy future clean water, too.

Oh, also, if you're a male, the IDF will take you from the safe zones, strip you naked, and use you as a human shield, regardless of what you did for an occupation and call you hamas.

The only antisemitic asshole here is the person trying to link all Jewish people to the psycho nation trying to commit genocide at worst, and ethnic cleansing at best.

if they aren't bombing indiscriminately, the death toll is even more condemnable. if they are precise in their bombing, they have used that precision to butcher thousands of innocent people. in any case, saying "watch out people who have no place to go, we're about to bomb the hospital you're in!" is not the humanitarian victory you seem to think it is.
