I think there’s a difference between some dumb grunts shooting whatever moves vs explicitly targeting civilians. The Israeli Air Force shooting missiles and bombs to eliminate terrorist who happens to be in a crowd makes less sense when they don’t have the capabilities they demonstrated against Iran. To me, having that ability, and not using it really proves they’re targeting civilians
How? I think you’d maybe have a point if we lived in a universe where IDF soldiers murdering civilians was viewed as wrong and soldiers who did that faced consequences, but we don’t. The IDF has consistently shot children and civilians in the knees or head, intentionally murdered a team of medics (dressed in their uniforms, in an ambulance, lights on), assassinated doctors with drones, bombed volunteers in their marked vehicles…etc
