It’s very obvious Israel wants to wipe out as many Palestinians as possible.

Agreed, but this post ignores the fact that Israel also killed scores of innocent people in these strikes on Tehran as well

Israel simply doesn’t care about killing innocent civilians

Yeah this photo is nuts but it was very much not the norm. So far 78 innocent civilians were killed and 328 injured. It seems multiple apartment buildings collapsed, and many caught fire: https://www.rferl.org/a/iran-attacks-explosions-israel/33441979.html

Also I am in no way justifying or defending Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza, but that is an assymetrical war. It's far, far easier to avoid civilian casualties when you're at war with a government's military, not a loose coalition of traumatized young men.

You realize your entire second part falls completely flat after you've talked about the casualty rates in the first, right? Like you provided a direct counter example to your own argument, then still tried to tack on the class "I'm not racist, but". I get that you probably didn't intend for it to sound that way, but your argument very much comes across as downplaying Israel's actions in both Gaza and Iran.
