I am Jewish and I am often VERY critical of Israel. One of the reasons why I hate Hamas so much is because they make me sound like I am pro-Bibi and I hate the SOB with a passion. The OP said Israel is "targeting civilians" This ignores the fact that Hamas uses civilian areas to launch its attacks. Any nation that has terrorists shooting rockets at them has a right to respond. Hamas arranged a situation where Israel can't protect its citizens, without sadly having innocent civilians as collateral damage. while the leadership hides safely underground.

The original poster was saying Israel is intentionally targeting innocent civilians. However, I will modify my statement to allow for the possibility to say he or she might be speaking out of ignorance because they are unaware of how Hamas operates.
