Only you think a Palestinian life is expendable in the name of Israeli security. Only you continue to support the IDF no matter how many people cry out for Israel to change their tactics in the war. Only you turn a completely blind eye to the indiscriminate bombing and displacement of millions of people.
So what type of mental gymnastics go on in that sick head of yours to convince yourself that only you care about civilians.

That's a convenient way to take the moral high ground. You don't know what I feel about civilian deaths, or Gazan civilian casualties, but it makes it easier if you paint it in a brush that says that I don't care. That's BS to say the least, then you go on to testify about what I think, you must think of yourself as a pretty good mentalist. When in fact you're just a useful idiot.
I'm against any sort of innocent casualties. However, every war has them. Your plan, which is not a plan at all, is reward insurgency tactics.
Israel is supposed to change their tactics to what? Not evacuate people before blowing up the underground terrorist infrastructure? That's what you were crying about a post ago, all the displaced Palestinians. It doesn't matter that as soon as Israel designates a safezone, terrorists entrench themselves there, move munitions there, and fire rockets from there. Maybe Israel should also provide Hamas better rockets so that a 1/3 of them don't fall down over Gaza on their way to Israel.
In your mind, every Hamas fighter that dies becomes a civilian as soon as the RPG, or AK is removed from his hands. Israel isn't allowed to win against terrorists. I'm sure you were silent when the coalition was bombing ISIS, the war in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Syrian civil war, and even when Ukraine accidentally bombs civilians in Belgorod for example. Were you calling for a change of tactics in any of those scenarios?
Now a bit later you responded to Language, and pointed out that in the US was pleading with Israel to change tactics. Let's see, it might have something with the US encouraging conflict in various regions, because they make money from arm sales. That's the same reason Ukraine won't be allowed to win a war against Russia. The US, especially under the democrats, is only interested in prolonged conflicts. Moreover, the Democrats need the Muslim vote more than ever in the US, and that's another reason why the US has been less than helpful in trying to force their own policy down Israel's throat.
