Hamas has been shooting its human shields trying to escape southward.
No Israelis or Jews abroad pass out candy celebrating Palestinian civilian deaths, as happens regularly in the West Bank and other Arab countries when Jews are killed by Arab terrorists. From The Ask Project interviews with Arabs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sUpff50vs8
Does any other military use "roof knocks" to warn civilians to get out of targeted buildings? Does any other military's intelligence agents spend hours on the phone with a Gazan dentist while waiting for him to warn civilians to evacuate targeted apt blocks? Does any other military spend hours on the phone with Gazan civilians who complain that Hamas "took my car keys" so I can't evacuate? Does any other military have an enemy whose strategic model is the mass hostage taking of human shields and that openly proclaims this?
Read the ICC's defintions of war crimes pasted here. Hamas has committed all of them:
Wilful killing. Torture or inhuman treatment, including biological experiments;
Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health;
Extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly;
Compelling a prisoner of war or other protected person to serve in the forces of a hostile Power;
Wilfully depriving a prisoner of war or other protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial;
Unlawful deportation or transfer or unlawful confinement;
Taking of hostages.
Other serious violations of the laws and customs applicable in international armed conflict, within the established framework of international law, namely, any of the following acts:
Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities;
Intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects, that is, objects which are not military objectives;
Intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance or peacekeeping mission in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, as long as they are entitled to the protection given to civilians or civilian objects under the international law of armed conflict;
Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated;
It's Hamas that turns schools, hospitals and mosques into military infrastructure and locates tunnels under them. It's Hamas that has terrorists firing RPGs from hospitals and schools, turning them into military targets according to the laws of war.
No Israeli has up close and personal beheaded or burnt alive Palestinian civilians while livestreaming it and breathlessly called his father to celebrate "father, I killed ten Jews with my own hands today."
No Jew has blown himself up on or shot at buses, in pizzerias or cafes or bombed Muslim community centers or stabbed individual Muslims in Buenos Aires, Montreal, Paris, Pittsburgh, Lyon, Halle, Toulouse, London. No Jews march in the streets of London chanting, "fuck the Muslims, rape their daughters" or chanting "gas the Arabs". See the asymmetry?
In 1937, 1947, 1979, 2000-01 and 2008 the Arabs rejected partition and then the two state solution the Jews said yes to. The % of Palestinians who do not say the only solution is "from the river to the sea" is 3%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5ocDyVaMt8&t=1s
When Palestinians tell you what they want, I suggest you listen.
Meanwhile, as recently as 2020 a plurality of Israelis accepted a two state solution: https://www.timesofisrael.com/more-israelis-support-two-state-solution-via-trump-plan-than-oppose-it-survey/
So where's the problem? On the Arab side.
And what explains your passion about this conflict and deafening silence about Muslim on Muslim killing in Algeria, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Darfur, Sudan and Assad's butchery of 1/2m Muslims in Syria? Have your written about these other far larger mass killings? Or about the Chinese putting 1m Uighurs in concentration camps? The Russians' mass killings of Muslim Chechens, Dagestanis? Nope. Why not?
The answer: obsessive anti-semitism. Only this conflict attracts global protest because only Jew hatred is a paranoid planetary obsession about hidden conspiratorial power.
