If only Israel were killing Hamas instead of innocent civilians, then your proclamation would mean something, but reality is quite different.

There are 2 bad guys in this war. Hamas and Israel, with 2 million innocent Palestinians stuck in the middle. Out of 2+ million people living in Gaza, Hamas only makes up around 200000. Yet so far Israel managed to kill between 95% and 98% (depending on source) innocent civilians. That is a worse track record than Russia's in the Ukraine war.

Not to "that guy" it, but there are also some Israeli civilians suffering. That's particularly true this time, as per the graph.

However, given the historical discrepancies on that graph, i suspect the Israeli government plans to make the Israeli suffering insignificant in comparison.

Man, for every Jew we kill they kill 10 people our own. Maybe we should stop?

No? Oh okay, ahem "DEATH TO ALL JEWS".

Hamas and the Israeli government are on the same side.
