No. They are retaliating against Hamas. It is not Israel's fault that Hamas is putting the civilians in front of the bullets that are meant for Hamas.
Do you approve of Hamas' tactics? Is it ok to embed themselves among the civilians?
Because that is where Hamas is hiding. Seeing as you approve of the Oct. 7 attack and you damn well knew that Israel would retaliate against Hamas, it 100% means that you approve of what is happening in Gaza right now.
You have ugly values driven by pure hate.
Do you think that justifies targeting an entire population and killing everyone like this?
Finkelestein nails you.
You approved of 233 settler terrorist attacks before this started and approved of settlers storming Al Aqsa setting off this round of violence.
Now you approve of genocide.
Choose peace.
Ceasefire.
End apartheid.
Obviously you approve of Hamas hiding among the civilians. If they don't care about what happens to their people, why should anybody else? That is the hypocrisy you attempt to hide behind.
They are targetting Hamas. It is not Israel's fault that these cowards hide behind women and children. Hamas is making an entire population a huge shield made of skin, flesh and bone.
Instead of you making them (Hamas) your heroes, you should be condemning them as terrorists and cowards.
So some facts.
There is nothing that might instill confidence any peace agreement will work. Not historically, not presently. That’s a fact some don’t want to accept.
No one has previously succeeded. No-one. Another fact some don’t seem to understand.
If Israel does nothing as some want, that will just embolden and enable Hamas and others.
If they back off Hamas wil just come back. As will others.
If Israel continues to do what they have been doing. That too is unacceptable.
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. While it remains to be seen, and time will tell. Would appear most Western leaders understand all that, unlike some here. Then there’s this inconvenient thing about self determination.
And when the dust settles, then Israel can answer for things and help pick up the pieces.
That's not exactly true. They are deliberately targeting areas populated by civilians where they suspect Hamas is operating. They know they're killing civilians. They hope they're killing Hamas.
The laws of war are very clear. Israel is engaged in war crimes, the same way Hamas engaged in war crimes. For anyone to casually endorse the killing of civilians by either side I find quite disturbing, especially when they simply think it's a matter of semantics.
It's crazy to me that someone thinks the way to convince someone not to support something, is to bomb them and kill their family. "Do you like us and hate them yet? No? Let me kill you dad. I'm only doing this because they're so evil. How about now? Still don't support us? Ok, I'll kill your sister and your dog. Now?" I mean, c'mon now. Be logical.
Typical Orange man. 
Like not being able to read cannot and should not. Or “don’t say negotiate” then stick that orange foot in your mouth. Thanks for that belly laugh.
You have a hard time with things.not the least of which is reality.

I do not approve of Hamas' tactics and right from my first post I've said Hamas is a terrorist organization and it's members should be hunted down and executed. I've explicitly condemned any deliberate targeting of civilians by Hamas. The use of human shields by Hamas is abhorrent. Hamas are war criminals.
I've been very clear in my condemnations. I ask you to acknowledge you have read my condemnations so that I know I won't have to constantly repeat myself as I have already with you.

Who put that out and who translated it? The credibility at this point is 0 when whoever created the video inserts the words “the Jews” in brackets when the kids made no such reference.
No they aren't. What Hamas is doing is worse because Hamas has no interest in anything other than killing civilians. They aren't "hoping" to hit anything else.
I know you think that was some clever comment because despite my repeated condemnations of Hamas you seem to think I support them since I'm speaking out against the deliberate targeting of civilians by Israel. But it wasn't because I have and will continue to repeatedly condemn Hamas for the heinous terrorist organization it is.
Ok “my bad”. And that too might be a little naive. But
Assuming. They launch their ground offensive and deal with as much of Hamas as they can. Yes, someone will fill the void to one degree or another. At some point Hamas might come back. If they are able..
You think many will be tried for war crimes? And assuming some few do. Gaza will still be rubble.
If pressure from the West can be applied to negotiate ( without success). Why can’t pressure be applied to rebuild?
So who is not reading ( laugh) and who is not thinking? You. And who is not a realist. You again.
