Then I would call them evil.
Nobody said it was “purely” an objective to kill civilians - merely that it was a specific and controllable outcome from their actions.

If Israel’s point isn’t political, then what is it?

I’m certain somewhere in Israel there will be people taking pleasure and rejoicing. If we can have one person in this thread alone - then it’s certainly going to be a not insignificant minority of Israelis who have a vested interest.

I’d love the thoughts of those Stanford academics on specifically the blocking of food and water in aid convoys. When and where can that be justified? What military objective is achieved?
