    This is your response?

    You say nothing about Hamas building a tunnel network under hospitals or launching missiles at Israel from civilian areas.

    And you accuse Israel of genocide for going after the terror infrastructure.

    You have made yourself clear.

    Seriously? This sounds an awful lot like someone who doesn’t like Jewish people.

    Your link shows roughly 15,000 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel, most of which were intercepted by the iron dome. Had the iron dome not protected the Israeli citizens, what do you suppose those rockets would have done? What was the intentions of Hamas firing 15,000 rockets into Israel?

    If you understand critical theory and how it operates in different contexts this makes sense. In CRT, racism is assumed unless proven otherwise. In post-colonialism, imperialism is assumed until proven otherwise. The IDF's actions are going to have an assumed motive unless if proven otherwise. That is what they are up against, and that is why they are explaining their actions.

    The information Israel releases is for a very small audience. The vast majority of Americans are part of the target audience.

    What is largely unspoken by nations-- but thought by them and their populations-- is that Jews deserved what happened 10-7.

    Israel has two choices: to eliminate Hamas (resulting in accusations of genocide) or wait for the next time.

    Hamas' strategy-- effective as you can see-- is to build its infrastructure and bases where to attack them requires great human suffering.

    Its not just IDF. In 2014, Hamas was filmed by a new crew from India launching its rocket from the courtyard of the media hotel in Gaza. Right near their room.

    Israel had previously warned that the hotel might be struck.

    Watch the video.

    Indian TV Channel Says Video Shows How Hamas Fires Rockets

    So, if Israel attacks the hotel, it is shooting journalists, committing genocide or a war crime. Or, it can jut get hit by rockets and maybe the Iron Dome will hit it.

    Or this one from French news outlet. in 2014. Not the IDF.

    Video Shows Hamas Rocket Launcher Near UN Building, Hotel - Algemeiner.com

    A France 24 news report showing a Hamas rocket launcher in the shadow of a United Nations building in Gaza City has become the latest bit of evidence to substantiate Israel’s claims of the terrorist group’s use of populated areas to launch attacks on Israel.

    Correspondent Gallagher Fenwick reports that the site is roughly 160 feet from a hotel housing foreign journalists. Fenwick and his crew had a close call at the same site last week when a rocket was fired overhead and Fenwick had to take cover. See that video here.

    There’s one hotel and then there are the dozens of entire city blocks being leveled. Surely, you understand the difference. Perhaps you don’t want to. I believe that is the case, as a matter of fact.

    There hasn’t been a single time I’ve turned on this YouTube stream at night and not seen large explosions every 30 seconds over Gaza and hearing rolling thunder of bombs as they fall on Gaza. It is a massacre. Reuters have been live streaming from the Gaza/Israeli border since the war broke out. If you haven’t yet, take 15 minutes to watch it. It’s chilling:

    Despite post after post with the evidence of the terrorist infrastructure and activities, you cannot say anything about them.

    Surely you understand that placing rocket launchers next to schools, mosques, playgrounds, and hospitals is a war crime. And makes them legitimate targets when terrorists use them to launch thousands of missiles into civilian areas.

    Surely you understand that when terrorists set up snipers in hospitals, that this is a war crime. And makes them legitimate targets when terrorists attack civilians.

    Surely you understand that when terrorists build an extensive network of tunnels under civilian areas to hide, operate command and control and hide civilians, those are war crimes. And makes those tunnels and the structures they ae built on legitimate targets.

    Surely you understand that the terrorists who take human shields are responsible for what happens to the people they expose to danger.

    Surely, you understand the extent of the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, particularly the tunnels.

    Surely you understand that what has been posted are examples.

    Israel and Hamas are at war, have been for as long as Hamas has been in power. The poster I originally responded to appeared to be unaware of Israeli attacks in Gaze prior to October 7th. I was providing more information.

    There are no good sides in this conflict.

    And you previously posted that Israel has killed as many Palestinians thus are equally as bad. That’s not taking into consideration how many more would be dead if Hamas’ attempted attacks were successful. You posted that Hamas has launched roughly 15,000 missiles at Israel, had those landed the civilians death counts wouldn’t even be close. You can’t just overlook them because they were stopped.

    Check out this Reuters live cam at the border of Gaza. It is daylight now and you can see how Israel have leveled that land. Wow.
