Oh, Hamas is airstriking hospitals and refugee camps too? No? They're not? Only Israel is doing that?

Why wouldn't this genocide be blamed on the ones committing it? Use your head.

you're not seriously saying that Hamas isn't targeting civilians and advocating genocide, right?
the Problem is that Hamas could very well be using civilian installations as cover. Hamas has shown that it doesn't care at all about Palestinians and is willing to sacrifice them if they can kill Israelis. This makes it impossible for the International Community to Condemn the Actions of Nettanyahus Government, because it may very well have been a Hamas-Base

Also: It's Nettanyahu, not Israel. If I'm going to separate the Actions of Hamas from the Palestinian People, i can expect you to do the same.
