  • From your point, Hamas is hiding in all buildings that's why Israel bombed several cities that killed thousands of civilians. (which is a war crime - you are not allowed to bomb buildings in which hostages/civilians are there)
  • Again propaganda, Iran retaliated for the second time after Israel's invasion of Lebanon. Don't use the words of war accelerationists like "Iran is bombing", Israeli military facilities were bombed and Iran's operation is done. (Not like israel, who creates safe-zones in Gaza then they bomb the civilians)
  • Elected president Biden is trying to accelerate the conflict by sending Israel more armaments and funds which will result in more civilian deaths. It will not in anyway help end conflict with Iran.

Bullet point 1 is untrue. You have to minimize civilian casualties, but bombing an actual legit target means collateral is not considered a war crime. The civilians still get bombed though.

Bullet point 2 is retaliation on retaliation on retaliation on retaliation ad infinitum.. there is no good guy here.

Bullet point 3 seems to ignore Russia and Iran are arming the other side. Just like it ignores that a lot of Israelis in the north were under constant shelling from southern Libanon (Hezbollah).. at some point there would be a response.
