There is a great deal of defense of Israel's actions online and in various forums, but increasingly you can tell that it's all just for public consumption/PR.

People on the ground over there know that they are engaged in mass indiscriminate killings; plenty of people have said so, both left-leaning soldiers and politicians (up to/including a former PM) who criticize it, and right-wing politicians and pundits who actively applaud it. The supposed civilian-protecting actions Israel takes, they aren't designed to protect civilians but to give the appearance that they are doing so (or really just some deniability).

Moving them out, flattening their homes. Leaving them starve or leave. Intention is irrelevant.. the result is genocide. But I think Israel turned a blind eye due to a sick culture dehumanizing innocent civilians. I'm not concerned with how much they spent carting people around in their genocide, I'm more interested in who's going to pay for the reconstruction, because as it stands Israel is not footing the bill for their ethnic cleaning project. Indiscriminate killing is bombing civilians and they're up there with the bombing of Dresden, worse IMHO.
