Are you suggesting that hundreds of dead Israeli citizens would be a better state of affairs?
If your position is that we should not support military action that blatantly violates standard rules of engagement, that would apply to the Iranian military just as much as it applies to the IDF. There's no contradiction in criticizing IDF action in Gaza for not trying to minimize civilian casualties while also working to minimize civilian casualties in Israel as a result of Iranian action.
If they were allowed to face the consequences for their actions and not get backing of one of the most bloodthirsty regimes in human history than they never would have been allowed to get as far as they have (and continue to do so) with their genocide.
So, yes, it's "I think more civilian deaths would be good".
I think I'll just let that speak for itself. Cheers.
Interesting you mention civilian deaths since Iran targeted non civilian buildings. But guess who's been actively targeting civilians for past six months? And yes, Israel needs to face consequences if we want their genocide and state terrorism to end.
