So Israel's response to Hamas' actions (a group Israel propped up over moderate secular orgs for reasons that definitely don't involve manufacturing pretext for the genocide of people they're keeping in an open air concentration camp) was a reasonable, proportionate one that's killed what - 18k so far, potentially tipping Israel over the "10k children killed since October" line?

No, it wasn't quite as targeted as promised. Both sides can be in the wrong

See, that's the thing with genocide - it's targeted - it just doesn't care about civilians. When Israel is responsible for Hamas, both sides are wrong, but not in a remotely comparable way.

Of course, Israel is getting a little too trigger happy by genocidal standards too, killing shirtless Israelis, speaking Hebrew, waving white flags, after a ceasefire was called - and this is what they're admitting to. The fact that Israel is killing journalists and barring access lets Israel get away with plenty.
