    Finish the quote:

    Overwhelming evidence has emerged over the past three weeks of deliberate attacks against Israeli civilians, as part of the instructions given by Hamas commanders. In many cases, the terrorists went from house to house and executed or burned entire families, and some 260 civilians were massacred at an outdoor music festival.

    Your mental gymnastics are Olympic level, mate.

      I’m not defending either government. They both clearly killed civilians intentionally

      They’ve both made statements they wanted to destroy the opposing government.

      Pointing that out shouldn’t be controversial.

      I gave you the relevant part of the quote, from the article, were Hamas was laying out their policy. They’re lying, but their policy as stated is equivalent to the Israeli government policy. Which is exactly what you were asking me to provide in your previous comment

        Their policy is also stated in their charter, which goes beyond just killing all Israeli civilians. It says they will kill all the Jews everywhere in the world.

        But perhaps you’d prefer to see actions - Israel is currently engaged in urban combat with an enemy who intentionally uses civilian infrastructure (a war crime, by the way). There will be collateral damage from this, especially when Hamas don’t allow civilians to evacuate out of the heavy combat areas.

        Hamas on the other hand are continuing to launch rockets daily at civilian targets in Israel, intentionally targeting civilians while celebrating every rocket siren.
