Qasim, I am with you almost completely. Early in your summary, you refer to "war crimes" committed by Hamas. In a way, this is technically correct. But all Israeli governments, for several decades, have stood by while Palestinians were being abused by Israelis, and their land was being stolen. It is true that the designation of "Israel" as a home for the Jews was not without pushback from surrounding Arab countries, but I do not have information that the "Palestinians" rebelled. They started out as a mostly nomadic people, and many have tried to work their way up. They have had advocates, and Hamas has been one of those advocate organizations. Notably, it was Netanyahu who helped establish, and fund, Hamas. (He's not a good person, and clearly, he intended to "divide and conquer," but Hamas should have had more reason to be grateful to him than to be combative. But they, and the Palestinians, continued to be mistreated, and no one would come to their organized defense. So as much as I understand calling Hamas' actions of last year "war crimes," I am more regretful that they had no other choice than angry at them for being combative. And even since then, it has been the US, and Biden, who have enabled Israel to continue to beat on entirely innocent Palestinians and others.
Occasionally, Netanyahu will say that one attack or another was a "mistake." Have you catalogued how many times the Israelis have paid reparations, or rebuilt what they claim they wrongly destroyed?
