Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

This sounds like apologia and the logic that will breed even more Hamas clones. Israel is the one committing this atrocity. They have the power to stop it. Don't remove that responsibility from them by saying it's just civilian casualties.

it's not just civilian casualties, some of them were teenage soldiers.

This is whataboutism but the same crowd has the opposite opinion when it come to Russia and Ukraine. And Ukraine didn't even shoot missiles at Russia first.

So it just appears to be alignment with certain groups and countries rather than honest worry about anyone's wellbeing.
