Exactly, we all can tell the difference. But Israel's soldiers are not known for avoiding civilian casualties.

No, but Israeli soldiers are known for mostly being deployed against civilians when someone thinks massacres are somehow okay.

I'm not on Israel's side on this one, but fuck the Hamas too.

That's exactly where any sensible person would be. But torturing all of Palestine is not the solution to Hamas. If anything the occupation has only strengthened Hamas by bolstering recruitment.

Cutting off water, power, and food is just going to turn more Palestinians to Hamas.

That's definitely half my point, yes. You can't just shut off water to children like that's somehow okay, I'm pissed at Israel too. The kids in Palestine didn't kill the kids in that village, this is why even though I'm a very vengeful person, spite and "collateral damage" is not acceptable from anyone, myself included.
