If Hamas had operated strictly & solely against Israeli military units & installations on 10/7/23 and left civilians the hell alone, we wouldn't have to be here.

Hamas has never focused on military targets. Their founding charter specifically calls for the death of all Jews worldwide and forbids any conception of peace.
What you don't get is that most people are not justifying the brutal killing of 1400 Israeli people and kidnapping of 200.
We are just saying don't kill and punish civilians that had no say in this. Honestly at first I was on Israel's side, but now? Yeah you showed the world why there even IS a Hamas and how your bloodlust has no end.
Especially after the 'parking lot' comment and the harassment and killing of Palestinians on the West bank, oh I forgot about the 'if Israel was really targeting civilians why are there not more dead Palestinians than just 7000 and raising?
Just...quit. you're losing every minute you try to change the narrative. People went through years of this shit and nobody believes it anymore.

How many civilians are you personally comfortable with dying, past those already dead. No “they’re in the way” bullshit. Give your conscience a number.
War is shitty, that's why it's used as a final option

Definitely Hamas’s fault Israel is an apartheid state bombing civilians. /s Palestinians in the West Bank might disagree. Source
I feel like this is supposed to shift attention from the blockade of humanitarian aide. Yeah… no. Let these people trapped there at least have a last meal before they're killed by killed by an air strike or tank or helicopter or settlers doing ethnic cleansing or troops or…
Because as we know, cowardly Hamas terrorists only use civilians as shields. Hamas are scum.
Hamas didn’t exist until 1987. Was Hamas to blame for the violence before then too?
I'm talking about October 2023.
Yes and we’re talking about decades of Israeli terrorism, predating Hamas.

Well, there’s your problem. Source
“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.”
