If a black person tells you you are racist, it's good to listen.
If a black person tells you that you're racist because you object to them killing children by the thousands, then maybe you're not actually so racist after all.
If a woman tells a man he is sexist and misogynist, he should listen.
If a woman tells a man that he's sexist and misogynist because he objects to her cutting off access for international food & medical aid for injured and starving civilians, then maybe he's not actually so sexist or misogynist after all.
If an old person tells you you are ageist, consider that.
If an old person tells you that you're ageist because you take issue with their strategy of bombing schools, hospitals and whole neighborhoods to rubble and then blaming it on the one Hamas terrorist who might or might not have been there, then maybe you're not actually so ageist after all.
but if a Jew tells you you are displaying antisemetic ideas, definitely deny it.
If a Jew tells you that objecting to the murder of Palestinian children is "displaying antisemitic ideas," (which absolutely happens here on DU all the fucking time, thanks), then maybe they need to find another Gotcha! card to play.
For the record, and in hope of preempting the inevitable "You're an antisemitic Hamas sympathizer" accusations that tend to follow, let me state plainly: Hamas is a disgusting terrorist regime that must be destroyed to its last member, and Hezbollah likewise. To date, no one has explained how bombing and starving Palestinian civilians might accomplish that goal.

OP
Per usual, intentionally attacking civilians. So they'll get whatever they get.

Using the Hamas run spurious numbers from the Health Ministry is a fools errand.

Yet, you said "the IDF kills more everyday," so it's hard to accept you feel bad.

Well, Hamas uses civilians as shields daily. And these civilians SUPPORT them

Look at the election results they had in the ONE election they had. Hamas won 74/132 seats

You're asking the occupied population to tell other nations to embrace the occupiers.

Your own link proves you wrong. 91% dont think Hamas committed any atrocities in Oct.

No need for a full war. The IDF likely knows where most terrorists & their weaponry are located

Or maybe they are not antisemitic, but they have fallen for the lies of some antisemites.
