Read up on operation cast lead. That is what human shields looks like, and it wasn't the Palestinians that did it.

What do I expect them to do? Not 'mow the grass' every couple of years. Not use soldiers to protect murderers as the 'settlers', sorry, thieves go in and steal more of west bank. Somewhere that has no hamas, by the by.

What do I expect them to do? Not commit genocide. That's what I expect.

I also expect them not to be a white supremacist apartheid ethno state, but I know that one isn't possible, just as I know that it isn't possible to not expect them to be terrorists or commit the Nakba, or to socialize with the Irgun.

Fuck off you genocide excuser.

maybe try to discuss without being toxic? I do never excuse any genocide.

Again, I think Israel should rightfully be criticized for many things, but clearing out Hamas makes sense when viewed as it's own topic. And looking at the number of high civilian casualties in Gaza they are being criticized even by the USA, you still have to consider that Hamas are hiding in civilian infrastructure on purpose to use them as human shields. Also while the numbers of casualties in Gaza are being reported from inside Gaza you would not know how many of them are actually part of Hamas. They won't give you this information.

This is literally justification.

Maybe try not justifying the murder of over 10,000 civilians if you don't want toxicity.
