The kicker is that the humanitarian situation in Gaza can't be justified by military strategy. It's either cruelty for its own sake -- wanton maliciousness -- or cruelty born of apathy.

If you look at the current government of Israel's policies regarding Palestinians - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-seventh_government_of_I... - you might notice that various humanitarian rights and other niceties for the latter do not seem to be high priorities.
One might reasonably assume that recent developments in Gaza are part of a political strategy. Not a military one. And that the politicians in charge do not share the worldview, nor sensibilities, of the typical Guardian reader.
