At least during the War on Terror, some effort was put into minimizing civilian casualties. Not enough, but we did try. The rest of the world abandoned total war post WWII. With the advancements in technology both surveillance and accurate munitions, there’s no real excuse for the way Israel has been conducting itself in Gaza.
I didn’t say we were any good at it. Just that there was some effort, like, there was no carpet bombing. If Isreal maintaines their same pace they’re going to cause that number of casualties in a fraction of the time, and they’re doing it intentionally.
