Except Hamas, in its every action and fundamental strategy, does actually do everything possible to maximize civilian death. The debate between us is not over whether this is true, it is over whether it is done intentionally. Sinwar, the “butcher of Khan Younis,” did it intentionally. Every major Hamas leader has taken pride in the death toll and argued that it is the path to Islam‘s redemption. All the rest, the name-calling, the credentialism, the appeal to what “every Gazan knows” which no one can actually check, only demonstrate that you have a real problem here, that this is the most rational and likely interpretation of what they’re doing.
