(4,229 posts)You are implying intent you cannot be certain of - revenge, retribution. There has been pocketed destruction, not total destruction, and you can blame Hamas for inciting the conflict amidst a relative ceasefire that would certainly have this result. INTENTION is most attributable to Hamas here. What do you mean ethnic cleansing? The only cleansing has been of the Jews from every Arab Muslim land as well as from Judea/Samara. Arab Israelis are allowed in Israel, but Jews cant build settlements in their holiest land?
When you say mass deaths, can you differentiate between combatants and civilians? Between those intentional shot by Hamas or blown up by their errant missiles vs those killed by the Israeli army?
This is not biblical, but it is existential for Israel, as you completely miss the point if you think this is about Israel and Gaza.
