I am sorry but in what world does purposefully bombing civilians mean they are one of the "most humane armies in the world".

The defense of "but we are only using little bombs to bomb civilians" is almost beyond parody.

They are not bombing people, they are warning them (and also calling and texting them) to get out so that thee are no/limited civilian casualties and only the infra is destroyed which is housing rockets etc

Sure, how about I drop a 30 second "door knock" before I blow your life to smithereens because I feel like your 10 story building might be hiding a few kalashnikovs? Feel free to evacuate to the few hundred meters of free space in the world's largest open air prison. The simple fact is: this is colonialist ethnic cleansing and the only reason it goes unchecked is because of historic Western guilt uncritically favouring the Israeli state for geopolitical reasons.

Just to be clear again:

> "door knock"

is a hellfire missile being blown up above someone's home.
