Not sure how the full quote is supposed to help.

This would still be bad even if they had perfect information and only killed confirmed terrorists. Setting a target for number of people killed is an extermination campaign not a war. All it does is turn the locals even more against you like in Vietnam.

If it was "secure X amount of land from Hamas" it would be way better because that would give them the option to surrender or run away, and give IDF an incentive to avoid violence. What Israel is doing means soldiers feel pressure to kill on sight even if the enemy is unarmed and ready to give up so they can meet their quota for the night. That is a war crime.

The real quote seems to be not about Hamas, the comment you are replying to seems correct

He's not talking about Hamas. Nice try.

Let's not pretend you're not part of the problem. You're parroting things with twisted narrative. Back your claims with facts.

Your idol wants people to die for being who they are and no other reason at all. He says so himself. What's the narrative?

"The Problem". Interesting. What is "The Problem"?

Why are we even playing games about implications when we can see the empirical fact that the admin’s policies on Palestine over the last years have been to carpet bomb people?

Eh... The full quote is even worse, making it plain he's talking about everyone in Gaza:

“I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night. Not just those who pose an immediate threat – there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people.”

It's absolutely plain as day that Ben Gvir is genocidal.

Bots pushing fake propaganda indeed!

People hate children being murdered more than anything else. The fact you can't see that is because, you yourself, have a hatred mask on.

Fact - he said exactly this:

“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister," he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli lawmaker.

“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.

...

"Terrorist" is just the 21st century replacement for the n-word, which racists can't use openly any more, so they invented a new word.

Why defend a Nazi?

The OP literally wrote "not defending Ben Gvir" and "I don't support Ben Gvir in the slightest", yet this is the best thing you could come up with for a comment?
