Are you trying to say something Kanga, or can you not figure out how to put it into a sentence?
It's remarkable, isn't it?
When Israel wants to strike a specific apartment nearly 2,000 kilometres away in Iran to take out a single military figure, it can land that missile with surgical precision. Yet when it comes to Gaza, just a few kilometres from its own border, suddenly, the precision evaporates and entire city blocks are levelled. Over and over again, the excuse is that "Hamas is hiding among civilians," as though that justifies flattening neighbourhoods.
Are you claiming that in order to prove they are not deliberately targeting civilians, Israel should have brought as much destruction to Tehran in 3 days of conflict as it brought to the Gaza strip over more than half a century of conflict - with an enemy that was so close than any Muslim nutcase can, and frequently does, climb onto the roof of his parents apartment building to lob a cheap rocket over the border?
Am I missing something, or is your argument really that stupid?
I am sure Israel would be willing to level Tehran if that is what it takes to stop Iran nuking Israel.
Perhaps you should get your understanding of middle eastern conflict from a more reliable source than your gullible friends sharing idiotic memes on facebook.
Are you missing something? By choice, and with deliberate dishonesty, yes, absolutely.
You're distorting the conversation, pretending I'm comparing a sustained military offensive to a single isolated airstrike, just so you can dismiss the actual point. That's not intellectual debate, it's sleight-of-hand rhetoric.
There are multiple examples, documented, verified, of single Israeli airstrikes that have obliterated entire residential buildings, even multiple homes at once, killing scores of civilians in Gaza. These aren't multi-day campaigns or the cumulative damage of a year-long offensive.
They're individual strike events, and they're devastating.
Yet when targeting deep inside Iran, over a thousand kilometres away, Israel has demonstrated they can strike a single apartment, kill a specific target, and leave the rest of the building standing. Precision is not theoretical. It is real, and it is used, when politically or strategically necessary.
This reveals a disturbing truth, collateral damage is not always accidental. Sometimes, it is policy.
Here are some example of what I'm talking about in Gaza:
March 2025 – Five‑Storey Residential Collapse (Northwest Gaza City):
One strike. Building gone. Around 30 civilians inside, only 3 recovered alive.
March 2025 – Eleven Homes Flattened (Bani Suheila to Beit Lahia):
One sortie. Multiple family homes erased. Women, newborns, and sleeping children, dead.
March 2025 – "Mass-Strike" Campaign (404 Dead in 24 Hours):
One day. Hundreds killed. Entire city blocks targeted, structures collapsed. Women and children comprised the majority.
April 2025 – Shuja'iyya Strike:
One airstrike. Eight homes levelled. At least 35 dead, 70 injured. Dense residential neighbourhood.
May 2025 – European Hospital Bombing:
Coordinated single-strike drop: nine bunker-busters in 30 seconds. The hospital, Gaza's largest, critically damaged.
May 2025 – Residential Building by Tents (Gaza City):
One building flattened, surrounded by tents housing displaced families. "Dozens" reported killed.
When Israel wants to avoid killing civilians, it shows it can, even in dense urban environments, even in hostile sovereign nations like Iran.
But in Gaza? That restraint evaporates. The result isn't just tactical damage, it's mass civilian death, and it happens with disturbing frequency.
This isn't about capability. It's about calculus. It's about what lives are deemed expendable, and in which context.
So how about this, since you're happy to misrepresent what I've said and the point I'm making to suit your argument, can I instead ask you, what evidence would it take to change your mind?
