If Israeli officials are ever brought to ICC on war crime charges, prosecution will have a hard time proving the intent.

Israel warns civilians daily to move to the southern part of Gaza. The civilian casulties are unintentional, IMHO.

They clearly stated their intent: eradication of Hamas. Not eradication of Palestinians.

This is the worst argument that can be relied upon to justify what is happening. I will answer you on the three points you mentioned:

- The international community does not intend to hold the Israeli army accountable for what it is doing, and therefore the army does not fear anything, even if its responsibility for the massacres is proven with material evidence. Israel knows this, so it does not give any value to international standards.

- The bombing is carried out on all areas of the Gaza Strip, whose area does not exceed 42 square kilometers. Bombing of schools and hospitals, and yesterday they bombed a convoy of ambulances heading towards the Rafah crossing in the south. Israel gives citizens minutes before carrying out bombing operations. Can you explain to me how a hospital or school crowded with civilians can be evacuated within a few hours? This is nonsense.

- According to the latest statistics, more than 10,000 people were killed in Gaza. Among them are more than 3,000 children and countless women and elderly people. Do you find it logical to exterminate all this number under the pretext of eliminating a few hundred who are already hiding underground?

If Hamas uses civilians as human shields and public humanitarian facilities as hideouts, does this justify the annihilation of those shields and the bombing of those facilities? You justify horrific massacres with this logic.
The Palestinian people are not Hamas, and Hamas does not exist in the West Bank. Can you explain to me why 100 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank even though there were no Hamas fighters there?

Please stop justifying violence. This took away part of your humanity.

Sometimes law and ethics/morals don't overlap.

I was refering to the potential legal ramifications for the leaders of the Israeli government.

As for how they chose to fight the terrorists, well, I am not them so I don't know what they are thinking.

One thing I will say, I would not want to be in their position.

How do you eradicate these terrorists wso are hidding among 50% of residents of Gaza who do not support Hamas?
How can you tell who is the terrorist and who is not? Impossible task to do, IMHO.

Ask yourself this question: how long would it take you to walk 20km to the southern part of Gaza? 5 hours?
