He... Did not say that. He said they are targeting civilians, and basic math on casualty numbers ("hamas" numbers being the same as in use by both US and IDF military intelligence) can at least tell you they're doing very little to avoid it.

You might want to check the combatant to civilian casualties ratio for other conflicts including western led post WW2 ones.

Iraq and Afghanistan had worse figures, by many reports even the drone part of GWOT was worse.

And those were generally fought in more permissive environments.

For the most part the single largest casualty cohort in any conflict are civilians achieving a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio depending on which figures you go by while tragic is actually quite impressive for a lack of a better word.

Doing little to avoid something isnt the same as doing it on purpose.

When we design data structures do we not say that the sum of all things are intended tradeoffs? It doesn’t make sense to say that you intended to buy milk but you didn’t intend to spend money. Nothing in life works like that.
