    Are you really suggesting that every asymmetrical war that is conducted successfully is genocide? O.o

      No, I’m saying that if a nation has such a huge advantage they also have more responsibility to select targets carefully so as to not kill noncombatants.

        A nation taking lots of casualties has the same responsibilities as one taking few casualties.

        That said, the proportion of civilian casualties to the total population of Gaza is comparable to that of Chechnya and less than in Vietnam, North Korea or the East Front of WW2. Unfortunately, civilian casualties are an inevitable part of modern war.
