No one is saying not to blame Hamas, they have responsibilities too, that doesn't however give Israel an ok to bomb civilian targets and starve out a civilian population, it's been a literal war crime since at least the 1400s.
Sure, they can defend themselves. Striking civilian targets, in civilian, areas with civilian populations is still a goddamn war crime. You didn't see England intentionally bombing civilian targets even when v2s were hitting every single goddamn day. The international community is literally telling them to stop striking civilian targets because they are in fact admitting to doing just that!
So you're saying the extreme loss of civilian life is "not excessive"? Over 10,000 dead??
Also, what are "military targets" to you? Hospitals, churches, refugee camps, and homes are all fair game? Using white phosphorus bombs and hellfire missiles?
"AGM-114R9X is a non-explosive yet lethal missile due to its rotating blades that decapitate anyone within 3ft. The Minimum/Maximum fire distance is 1.5 km/8km." That was launched at a hospital. This is despite Israeli insisting that Hamas is hiding in tunnels underneath densely populated areas and using civilians as "human shields" How is that going to kill members of Hamas?
No one except people trying to commit genocide go to these lengths to ensure civilian casualties. There are so many other options if they just wanted to kill Hamas fighters. But this is excessive, indefensible, and vile.

Maybe not to you. But when the Israeli government says they bomb a hospital because there's a "suspected Hamas headquarters" in it, you blindly trust them. We have no reason to distrust the people saying they definitely did not just commit countless war crimes despite other countries saying they did /s
I'm sure the over 4,000 children that have died were suspected Hamas leaders too.
So why the fuck you simping already bud?
