The IDF isnt a rogue organization, its the military arm of the elected Israeli government. Also Palestine hasn't had an election since 2006 so 18 years ago. Notably older than all of the children the IDF is bombing, and hardly representative of the rest of Palestine.
This is not "normal war stuff." The IDF has dropped more explosives in months than the US did in years in Iraq.

Terrorism is the warfare of the poor. Warefare is the terrorism of the rich.
So killing civilians is deplorable? If you read with eyes unclouded, you'd see I haven't defended anything of the like. I'm equating this 'war' with terrorism. What Israel continues to commit daily is terrorism of the same kind as October 7th, on a scale so much more vast they're hard to compare.
It's very easy indeed to hit Hamas targets when everything is Hamas.
I really wish the person you were talking with hadn't deleted all their replies....
Edit: looks like the replies were purged by a mod, my bad.
