I'd be curious which military experts are saying Israel could target Hamas with fewer civilian deaths than is currently the case. If they're right, I hope Israel listens to them, but how many such deaths can realistically be avoided when fighting an enemy that purposely puts itself amidst civilians?
Has anyone in your conversations brought up Dresden in 1945, or Mosul in 2016-17? Bombings killed thousands of civilians in each of those cities, too, and no one seriously argued that they changed the overall moral calculus of the conflict. It was still clear who the villains in each case were.
