We're not talking about Nazi Germany. Nor are we talking about two (or more) countries going to war with one another.

In this case, we're talking about - effectively - a country going to war with a state in its own jurisdiction. It would be closer to the US bombing Oregon ... or Portland ... in the event that Antifa decided to get truly violent.

Granted, that's a bad comparison ... but the take home is that Israel's responsibilities for the civilian population of Gaza are far greater than when two independent nations go to war.

Okay, how would you eliminate the Hamas organization with minimal or zero casualties to civilians in Gaza?

I'll see your comparison and raise you. If Seattle elected Antifa as their government the way Gaza did with Hamas, they'd be traitors, renegades, and insurrectionists just like the Confederacy, and deservedly be treated as such. Gaza should thank their prophet they're facing the IDF instead of Sherman's March to the Sea.
