By shielding themselves with the wives and children... After invading first, slaughtering innocents and taking hostages they continue to refuse to release. It isn't a genocide. It's the tragic consequence of using civilians as shields. Really want to stop the killing? Call on Hamas to surrender or at least stop cowering under schools. But we both know that isn't your intention.
Do you really think they take literal human shields? That's not what they mean, I don't think even the IDF thinks that. They mean they live in the same places as civilians, which or course they're going to, they're a guerilla terrorist fighting force stuck in an extremely dense area due to Israel land encroachment. Btw, Israel has been known to do that and there have been videos lately showing that.
They also didn't attack first. Zionists came in and steadily took land back in the beginning, when it was just British Mandate of Palestine. It was peaceful for a long time until they had the numbers to enact violence. Meanwhile, the Palestinians were promised a bunch of territory by the British for fighting against the Ottoman Empire, who then reneged on the deal to give Zionists a state. They then fought back and lost even more land, and have been losing more land since then. Hamas didn't form until after decades of Israeli terrorists and paramilitary forces had killed lots of innocent Palestinians and took their land. They are a reaction to the killing by Israel. This didn't all start on October 7th. The current ruling party Likud is descended from some of these paramilitary armies.
Even back in the beginning Jewish luminaries like Albert Einstein and Hannah Arendt thought Israel was a bad idea, sometimes once they went to visit, once they realized what it cost to the local population and how it would put them in an eternal military struggle to genocide the local population like was done to them.
Nope, they absolutely attacked first. Rationalize it all you want but fact is Palestine et al chose violence FIRST.
Second, Hamas absolutely uses human shields. Storing weapons, equipment and themselves under schools and the like. Thats what you don't get. They have tunnels everywhere and can come out wherever and whenever they want so all this BS about Israel intentionally targetting civilians is a load when a declared safezone gets ambushed for the millionth time by terrorist cockroaches coming out of the woodwork specifically because it is 'safe'.
Hamas picked the fight and then hides amongst the populace. Clearly Israel is to blame there.
