No, what I'm advocating Israel should do is 100% kill all the Palestinians, no exceptions, no mercy.

They're selectively killing a few hundred here and there, but only a couple percent of the total population. They've also destroyed almost every building.

The "civilians" who died were actively firing against IDF troops performing the rescue. According to IDF sources, most of the people living in the area knew there were hostages there. (Allegedly, that's how the IDF found out they were there. They had spies who overheard conversations about the hostages.)

If someone is hiding hostages in their home, they don't get to complain if the IDF kills them.

How many people is it acceptable to kill to rescue one hostage? Zero? One? Ten? A hundred? A million?

If you say the IDF was wrong in raiding to rescue hostages, that merely justifies Hamas' strategy of holding the hostages in residential areas.
