Says a country that's been credibly accused of trying to exterminate its neighbors you mean?
The absolute lack of self-reflection that is on display here is something else.
I don't need to reflect on anything. I didn't do that, and I'm fully justified in telling you that it's wrong to do that.
I didn't fire rockets from schools to hide behind children. That's reserved for Hamas, and Iran.
I don't see Israel doing that.
Someone definitely needs to self reflect. It's those people. It's not Israelis.
Children are sacred. Life is sacred. IRGC apparently doesn't see it that way. Hamas apparently doesn't. And you apparently don't either.
That's on you. You don't have a leg to stand on where it comes to morality. That's obvious to everyone in America, just to be clear.
You think the left supports Gaza? The moment they see that Hamas is using children as rocket shields they won't. That's all temporary.
It's incompatible with American society. It will never work for you. You only have some support right now because you've managed to hide that fact.
But we both know you're okay with it. It's for the cause, in your mind.
Tell me I'm wrong. Go ahead.
Don't kill civilians. Don't kill children. Especially if they're being used as human shields. It really is that easy. Whatever desires israel may have (exterminating Palestinians, taking their land, a feeling of absolute security) are secondary to that (as in, less important), and can be addressed when their child killing and civilian killing stops.

Might I suggest you take a step back? This is an issue that is hurtful to people on both sides, and you're taking it very personally and sinking to insulting other HN posters. That's not really in the spirit of HN.
Maybe we can start again with a shared foundation of understanding: We can both agree that 1 civilian being bombed is equally as bad as another civilian being bombed, regardless of whether they are israeli or Palestinian, right? That no civilian's life is more or less valuable than any other's, regardless of which country they live in or hail from?
If Israel wants to be taken seriously as a nation of "normal people", they need to do something about the extreme nationalism and hate in their ranks, and the racket of protecting settlers who attack Palestinians in their homes.
The way I’m reading your comment is justifying that the genocide is necessary for Israel’s survival.
If that is where the pendulum is today, there’s no discussion to be had.
