Chef Andres describes op to target them deliberately:

I don't take sides here because I can see it going either way.
On one hand: Israel is right to end Hamas - but not Gaza, a fine line; Israel has apologized to families & countries; points out rightly that shit happens in war.
& Chef Andres could just be in shock, from guilt, or from seeing that his ideals don't give him Magic Cloak of Lib Invincibility. Chef Andres seems bought-in with Hamas: he says, how terrible that Israel would hit civilian facilities, but does not admit Hamas uses those civilian facilities as human meat shields.
On other hand: I do think Bibi would be sneaky & callous enough to go "Let's do a war crime & apologize later - make an example of some pro-Hamas Westerners."

tldr; He says
-
Israel has killed 13,000 Hamas
-
messy urban warfare, since Hamas embeds with civilians like no one else
-
so Israel has also killed 19,000 civilians
-
that ratio (13:19 or about 2:3) is better, ie. less civilians, than any other country in messy urban warfare.
-
so Israel kinda-minimizes civilian deaths?
-
anyway it's not 'genocide' nor 'terrorism' (which maximize civilian deaths)
I hate the war. I hate the deaths. Just food for thought.
