But the civilians killed in Gaza have a lot to do with the Gaza conflict. Hamas specifically uses them as part of their defensive tactics, as human shields. As for not wanting anything to do with it the vast majority of the civilian adults actively support Hamas in Gaza. With a few exceptions (you will always find war criminal activity in any war) all of Israeli targeting has been legal and within the rules of war (Yes there are rules), while virtually none of Hamas's activities would.

They have killed Women and Children for God's sake!

Your definition of what is and not part of a conflict is very puzzling.

One of the most unethical military branches in the world over the last 40 years.

Bombed a former school functioning as a refugee center and killed 12 civilians AND 6 UN workers, but to the IDF a kill is a kill is a kill. Although I have heard the IDF does have an exchange rate I am not sure how many humanitarian workers they have to kill to equal one hamas soldier.

Moved refugees to a safe zone and then bomb that safe zone not once but three times. Using bombs on tents, think about it not a hard structure bombs on tents, in an area they control if only they had a better way to find Hamas hiding among the refugees. It is unbelievable they can get away with this. So amoral.
