Okay, I see this talking point a lot. So let's think about this.
If Vladimir Putin sent text messages and dropped leaflets before blowing up apartment buildings in Ukraine, would that, in any way, exonerate him for destroying those houses or killing those people? Would we be claiming he was "working hard to minimise casualties"? Especially considering, as you say, that sometimes the places people are told to go turn out not to be safe. Or, as I already mentioned about Kahn Younis, that people are give conflicting information about where they should go.
But also, speaking of where they should go, imagine yourself actually living in Gaza. You might be elderly or sick you might have children with you, you're very likely poor, and one day, a passing plane drops a leaflet on your house telling you to "move south" in 24 hours before everything you own is destroyed.
You have no place to go in the south, mind you. You don't know anyone there, you don't have any means of making the journey, especially if around 1 million people are trying to make the same journey. It's winter, you're afraid your children will freeze or starve or simply be bombed in the south of Gaza (which is what ended up happening), and you certainly can't just leave Gaza, those kind leaflet-droppers have seen to that.
Again, this isn't the humanitarian win some people seem to think it is.
And sorry, I still need you to explain why the term "indiscriminate" is "misinformation." Simply claiming it is, without any evidence, isn't very convincing. Especially when those "capable community members" haven't been able to evacuate the ~25,000 people who have been killed so far (to say nothing of the wounded and those dead who are unaccounted for), with Israel making it clear they have no intention of stopping.
To repeat my perspective, around 65,000 tons of unguided bombs have been dropped by a military force with an ample supply of guided munitions. They've hit countless civilian targets, destroyed over a third of the civilian homes in Gaza, made vast swathes of Gaza uninhabitable, and have almost nothing of military value to show for these bombings. We know that they're desperate to showcase every single military win they can, and yet, hardly anything.
So I'll ask again, why is the word "indiscriminate" misapplied here? What would you need to see before you considered the bombing "indiscriminate" or reckless" or whichever synonym you prefer?
