The IDF claimed the uncovered footage provides further evidence of Hamas using the civilian population as human shields. Dressed in jeans and a casual grey shirt to look like a civilian, the man is seen later walking through the bomb-blitzed streets of Gaza with the missile hidden underneath a blanket.
The IDF is just manufacturing consent for their genocide of Palestinian civilians. The IDF also still needs to decide if Hamas is a conventional army or a terrorist organization.
The IDF is not committing a genocide.
The IDF aim is to take down Hamas, and not to destroy the Palestinian population (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel–Hamas_war)
The unfortunate truth is that Hamas disguised as Palestinian civilians, and use Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Under international law, it is a war crime to kill civilians, even under the pretext of a human shield. Israel also uses Palestinians as human shields.

Genocide means any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, as such:
This is definitely genocide
Trueeee
I also want to share BT’Selem’s documentation on the history of the IDF using Palestinians as human shields since 1967

I don’t get where this and the rest of your quotes come from.
It’s not that hard to hold three truths in your mind at the same time. What Hamas did was a violation of international law and fucked. Isreal’s response is ouverreaching, targets civilians, violates international law, and is fucked. Antisemitism as a response to Isreal’s actions is a violation of international law and is fucked. We can recognize that what Hamas did was wrong, what Isreal is doing is wrong, and that blaming people of Jewish faith for what Isreal is doing is also wrong. Being on the side of innocent Palestinians is not the same as being antisemitic.
I don’t understand why every argument has to devolve to baseless sound bites absorbed from media by a half alert brain. We can very clearly see that Isreal and Hamas’s beef is being handled irresponsiblely by both sides and innocent civilians are caught in the middle. Primarily innocent Palestinian civilians demonized in assenine article like this.
Hamas holds, from the beginning of this war, women, children, babies and elderly as hostages in roughly inhuman conditions.
Hamas put the “ethical” threshold of this war, Hamas deserves the consequences.

Israel has already wiped out
10%1% of the Palestinian population after invading their land. If their aim is to simply take down Hamas, why are they telling refugees to evacuate to ‘X’ and then bombing ‘X’? Why are they bombing refuge camps? Why are they murdering these ‘human shields’ as if they have no other option? Quit with your propagandist bullshit.Edit: got my percentage wrong

Source on your 200,000 dead Palestinians claim?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war
24,000 claimed deaths, which is quite horrific.
Right, 20-25k deaths (of which about 8k are Hamas soldiers). That’s 1% of the population total, or about 0.8% of the civilian population. The person I responded to claimed 10% without any evidence.
Where’s the 8k soldiers claim from?
According to here Hamas has 20k-25k members: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas
8k dead Hamas militants estimated by Israeli military a few weeks ago. Overall strength was 20-25k militants at the beginning of the war as you said.
You need to remember that Hamas is both a political and military organization - 20-25k Hamas members doesn’t mean 20-25k Hamas soldiers.
1%
Do you think Hamas is a terrorist organization or a conventional army?
According to Hamas 2017 charter, they don’t even know:

While the IDF under “Purity of Arms” clearly states:

The unfortunate truth is that we’re all seeing with our eyes Israel conduct a campaign of genocide, amongst its other war crimes (abducting children, denying food/water, etc.)
Israel’s lost its support, now all we can hope for is an international response to stop Israel.
Vladimir Putin’s stated aim is to kill Nazis… That doesn’t mean it’s true.
