Which brings the second question - how many Palestinian civilians is it legitimate to kill in pursuit of that ambition? On a scale from 0 to all of them.

Is there any evidence that Hamas are proactively using human shields? If you are razing entire civilian areas to the ground it’s not really credible that the people were human shields in their own homes. Similarly those who sought reasonable protection in hospital grounds, places of worship or refugee camps again weren’t held there as human shields by Hamas.

A third question would be after how many civilian deaths can Palestinians legitimately take up arms against Israel under the banner of “self defence”? If the answer is never, why not?
