One site is kidnapping children and senior citizens, raping them und displaying them in public. The other is demolishing buildings, where a terror organisation is hiding, with a 3h notice.
No offence but you fell for pollywood
How much CNN did you read to come to this conclusion?
Gaza is literally 5-11km thick the entire way down, with nearly 6,000 people per square kilometer. That's half the density of New York, in significantly smaller buildings.
Where are these people going to go, when 30% of Gaza is indiscriminately carpet bombed? They're not even allowed to leave the city. They can't go to Egypt, they can't go into the sea, and they can't go to Israel. The roads are literally blocked, while 100,000+ people try to flee the bombing zones. Oh also, did I mention they no longer have a source of water and food?
Where do you find that they are indiscriminate carped bombed ? It’s mostly the other way around. And fun fact. Most of hamas‘s rockets land in Gaza, as they are shit. This kills civilians or injuries them in Gaza. And they get free healthcare in Israel. But Israel are the bad guys, I guess
Carpet bombing requires an air force. Israel has one and Palestine does not.
Semantics, those rockets didn't have a guidance system. Civilian deaths become inevitable when the Internet & international scorecard for favoritibility includes the number of martyrs.
No it isn't semantics. You can't carpet bomb with rockets just like you cannot with RPGs. It's like you can't shovel things with a hammer as it isn't the tool for that job.
No it doesn’t, you can carped bomb with rockets to. Carpet bombing is a strategy
No you can't carpet bomb with rockets. That's not how rockets work.
Israel is the only party engaging in this specific war crime in this conflict.
I don’t think you know, what carpet bombing is, it’s the act of „bombing“ an area with a large amount of „bombs“. Bombs is a bit confusing, as it were mainly bombs in ww2, when it was first used. But nowadays it refers to explosives in general, indifferent of the method of delivery.
Firing a barrage of the grad rocket system is as much of carped bombing as payload of a b52
Carpet bombing is indiscriminately bombing a specific concentrated area oftentimes with unguided ordinance. That is neigh impossible to achieve with rockets. You could do that with missile systems but Palestine also doesn't have many of those.
The fact is only Israel is capable of carpet bombing in this conflict.
How is it impossible? They have massive amounts of rockets and mortars. They are more the man capable. But the only reason you don’t learn about this, is that the iron dome is destroying them before impact
Because rockets and mortars aren't capable of clustering their explosions like you can with bombs and missiles?
Cluster munitions =!= carpet bombing.
Carpet bombing is the saturation of an area with explosives. You can use multiple rockets/bombs/etc including but not limited to cluster munitions
Maybe you could do it with cluster bombs in rockets? But I think Hamas uses unitary warheads.
