He did not. Alarming though that you make such a leap of logic:

Some civilians support Hamas. Therefore all civilians in Gaza are legitimate military targets, so it's acceptable to kill them.

This is the definition of collective punishment, a war crime.

Also, you do realize that half of Gaza's civilians are kids, right?
