I spoke with Prof. John Spencer, chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at the U.S. Miliary Academy at West Point about what he calls wrongful comparisons between Israel’s war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip and other conflicts. Spencer first made headlines when he posited in several articles in the U.S. media that the civilian casualty number is actually quite low; that Israel was in full compliance with international law; that it is winning extraordinary victories in Gaza, and that any comparison to urban warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq is entirely incorrect.
