Israel cannot be defended. Israeli genocide cannot be defended. What Arabs, Islam, Palestinians might be is utterly irrelevant. Israel occupies and continued to violently colonise Palestine. That will stop.
The Palestinians have defeated the Israeli Occupation Forces this time. They have held them off and wrought high death rates and destruction of weaponry.
Israel commits human rights atrocities and war crimes, rape, mas murder, beheading (with bombs) and your charges against the Palestinians are hasbara drivel. No-one believes it and no-one cares.
As to the human shields blather, it is the Israeli army which uses human shields including toddlers.
End the occupation.
Nothing the Palestinians/Hamas have done or could do would EVER REMOTELY COME CLOSE TO THE EVILS ISRAEL HAS COMMITTED FOR 75 YEARS AND MORE.
