> Israel doesn't target civilians, they only bomb locations where missiles have been launched from

I mean that's demonstrably untrue, for example https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-ramps-up-demolition-of-palestinian-homes-in-jerusalem

Also I noticed you didn't respond to the topic of Israel's occupation and settlement outside of it's territory. Do you acknowledge that it's a crime to annex territory through force and settle your citizens in that territory? Yes or no.

Hamas is well known for using human shields

Do you acknowledge that some of those towns were there before the region was divided between Israel and Palestine?

None of the examples I cited where this, one of them was even an IDF investigation that found it has killed several children without there being a military target nearby.

I'm sensing a pattern where you aren't engaged in reality

Absolutely there were Jewish communities in the West Bank before 1948 or 1967 but not many. We also have a list of these settlements so you can see when they were founded

Note that these were built after Israel occupied the West Bank even though the West Bank is NOT Israeli territory
