It is all and well within the limit of a "proportionate" response exercising the "right of selfdefence"! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.

You won't hold the media you are invested in accountable for the manufacturing of consent for this, because they're the same ones that feed you your 'orange man bad' content. You'll give them a pass.

I'd be careful with using these numbers as they are difficult to verify and often come from Hamas themselves. That is not to dismiss lives lost but raise awareness about committing to accurate information.
