In 1963, when you claim Israel built Al Shifa, Egypt occupied Gaza. The rest of what you write contains the same level of accuracy.

The Arabs' leaders told the Arabs of Haifa and many other cities to leave since they'd return after five Arab armies drove the Jews into the sea in a "war of extermination", as Azzam Pasha, the Sec. General of the

Arab League, termed it.

Many of the Arabs in British mandatory Palestine were recent illegal immigrants from the Hauran, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, attracted by the jobs created by Jewish investment. More slogan demolition here:

Native American genocide: read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. The germs came first. Genocide is all about intention, not results, as defined by the term's creator, Rafael Lemkin, who authored the UN Convention against genocide.

The Geneva Convention's clauses about war crimes stipulate that civilian infrastructure used by combatants loses its protections if

"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"

The IDF has repeatedly warned people to evacuate and Hamas responds by shooting many of those who try and putting terrorists armed with RPGs into hospitals and schools. So Hamas commits double war crimes: kidnapping, raping, burning and beheading Jewish civilians, a Thai guestworker (beheaded with a garden hoe) and taking hostage people from 20 different countries while using its own population as human shields, a policy declared by its spokesman in 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrWy3PT6zc

You're lost in anti-semitic Whataboutistan until you write about Muslim on Muslim violence in Darfur, Yemen, Kurdistan, Iraq, Algeria, Syria, Turkiye with the same passion you single out Jewish self-defense for.
