High civilian casualties means genocide. Duh. Hamas wants high civilian casualties. So that way they can make people call this a genocide. That gets people on their side. Hamas literally committed genocidal acts but the number of deaths was much less so people don't care as much. Hamas was literally targeting Jewish people in general. Israel is targeting Hamas members not Palestinians. Unfortunately Hamas took the last 17 years building tunnels underneath civilians. So there are a lot of unfortunate civilian casualties trying to get to Hamas and its leaders. Israel should do better but I'm afraid it's very difficult with the logistics of this fight. It's a terrible situation all the way around.
The current conflict started because of Oct 7th.
Do you know why that is the case? Because Hamas is setting up positions in civilian areas in hospitals in people's homes. They have hundreds of miles of tunnels underneath civilian populations. They are using this as a tactic. I've said this before but Hamas has said they want civilian casualties. Are you going to respond to my other question? Should they just not respond to Oct 7th? Burning babies in their cribs taking girls cell phones they had just murdered recording the scenes and sending the videos to whoever the mom was in their contact list. Like each side has done some horrible things here. It's not as clear cut as everyone here is making it out to be.
Be more specific about what you're talking about and I can respond. Different people and circumstances matters. Context is important.

Wasn't there already a permanent ceasefire that Hamas broke?
