"Are we the baddies?"
“Are we the what??? I can’t hear you over the sound of me shooting into a crowd of innocent children with an assault rifle, you are going to have to hold on a sec until I finish then tell me”
If it were just an "Assault Rife," like an M16 or Uzi or something, then the casualties wouldn't be nearly as high. But according to the article it was a heavy machine gun, like one of these:

Which is something that is only depicted in Hollywood films when they want to really drive home the war-crime "bad guy" aspect by having the Nazi's fire into a crowd.
Yes, but you know the cruelest thing isn’t the bullets, the bombs or the artillery. It is setting up a population of over a million purposefully in an impossible situation with nowhere to go, no access to hospitals (because you specifically destroyed them one by one), and no access to electricity, clean water or food.
Imagine having a fish tank full of cool little fish and just deciding you didn’t want it anymore so you unplugged the lights and oxygenator and stuck the aquarium outside your window in the cold. Then you pulled up a comfy chair next to the window and just sat and watched as the fish slowly starved, suffocated and froze to death. This is what Israel is doing to Gaza, except Gaza is full of human beings not fish.
Actually maybe I am being unfair, in this metaphor the IDF would probably put a post it note on the fish tank that said “EVACUATE AREA” which if you think about it really gives the fish the choice to stay or leave.

It's basically Warsaw ghetto, but bigger and with 5 times more people inside.
Your comparison absolutely nailed it. Chapeau
