Though, my minor quibble is how it’s self-defense to go into another’s territory and fuck it up
International law allows you to do this. How else would you stop the rocket attacks unless you go to destroy the rockets ?
This premise or something like that must be perceived to be true to justify killing civilians
It’s backed by the rules of warfare.
Now the starving part is where I draw the line. Israel has an obligation to keep support services going to the best of their ability.
I feel this has gone on to long. 60 days and I would have been cool. We are well past that point. They need to wrap things up and call it a day.

An obvious question is does international law concerning war have anything to say about not killing civilians? Can you go get the rockets and just…murder everyone in your path?

That isn’t what Israel is doing. Israel goes to extensive paths to minimize.casualties. They go above and beyond to limit the amount of people killed.
Hamas goes out of their way to maximize civilian deaths.
The two are not the same.
