Here are a few thoughts on intent, I recognize we can't get int say Netanyahu's head or anyone else for that matter, But there are a few things that iI believe establish a concern in this instance,
1. When military actors begin demolishing cultural sites in a country, this is designed to attempt to break these people's ties to their community, Ur is as if you are erasing a part of them. It is demoralizing them and very often intended to break their will against military action. No less than 200 Cultural sights in Gaza have been flattened,
2, The high incidence of mortality of civilians, especially children and women. I completely understand a high death count is not sufficient grounds, but the way in which tose counts became so high does matter. The use of the program Lavander is adding criteria to the specific locations of attack. This is a relatively new system, and it is highly suspect of manipulation to achieve certain end results.
Demolition of housing stick can convey an intent based upon how it is carried out. The usage of massive 2,000-pound bombs or larger are not precision weapons. They wipe out whole areas. Neighborhoods. Entire families,
That there has been lacking, in spite of President Boden's pleadings, is a plan to reduce the civilian casualties. But there has been none. Noda!
IDF forces have blocked ambulances attempting to get the children to medical attention, They have simply stood there and waited for the victim to die.
Likewise in the West Bank IDF have stood and watched Israeli settlers go into the homes of Palestinian families, drag out family members. Club some. shoot some take some prisoner. All the while IDF troops stan by and watch the violence. Sometimes they will help burn the home, of use a bulldozer to clear it.
Members of the war cabinet have been quoted as saying every Palestinian child under 4 should be killed. Others have encouraged Israeli citizens to claim land in the west bank and some have talked about on the Gasa Strip as well. These things give a hint to objectives.
Don't miss understand me, I believe Hamas is guilty as sin of what they have done and they should be tried for their actions.
Given the things I have mentioned above and others that I know about but don't want to go on ad nauseum. It is safe for me to say that as bad as Hamas is, and they are terrible, Netanyahu and the war cabinet and IDF are like Hamas on Steroids.
