See the reality now?
It's vile equating IDF actions to Hamas, or condemning the IDF far more than Hamas (which is hardly ever criticized). Worse, it's disgusting to be an apologist for or supporter of Hamas' victimization of its civilian population.
Now of course, Palestinian civilians are dying. There's no question & it's tragic. I hope Israel does even more to protect them. But this nasty libel about Israel being bloodthirsty does nothing but sanitize and whitewash Hamas' vile actions.
When you say Israel is killing civilians, it's as if Israel just decided to be like Hamas. Nothing about defense of its civilians against Hamas rocket attacks. Do you not see how vile that accusation is?
