You have a point there, I will give you that. I have seen some posts here with words like "evil", "vermin" etc., While they weren't explicitly referring to Gazans but to Hamas, we should tone our language down in how we refer to Hamas. Refer to Hamas as Hamas. Not as "human animals", "vermin", or "evil". Bassem Youseff's interview with Piers got me thinking, that yes, we often dehumanize those types of people and in the process we end up a) shifting adequate blame away from them - because after all, they cannot help it right? They are evil animals afterall! and b) justifying atrocities and war crimes against them like cutting off water, or a huge collateral body count even if it may be inevitable. This is especially also because I saw this post on my Israeli friends FB (who hasn't been my friend for a few years now as his racism towards Arabs is quite exhausting, but still somehow just lives in my friends list lol). This isn't right IMO - especially the last line, as it justifies collective punishments and war crimes against Gazans.

Let us call Hamas what they are - a terrorist group, comprised of thinking, feeling, judging and intelligent human beings who MADE THE CHOICE to mass murder innocent Israeli civilians.
But that said, while Israel's occupation of Palestinian land, their racism and apartheid etc should end, Hamas needs to be eliminated, for that process to even start. You simply cannot cut deals with the Hamas, or expect Israel to back down from wanting to root them out after such an attack as that would be nonsensical to propose.
