Again you forgot to mention that Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel for 15 years.
100 per day was considered peace time.
By the way, the war will be over as soon as Hamas surrenders.
بمشيئة الله. أو في هذه الحالة، بمشيئة حماس.
Obviously they are really keen to wage a little war every now and then so don’t take that from them.
The have free will and are masters of their own choices:
If you go to a gun fight with a knife - don’t blame the gun owner.
The Geneva convention doesn’t know about “fairness”.
It simply states that every combatant is a valid target, no matter how incompetent he is.
And by the way, you are dehumanizing cave men. Being a cave men is a personal decision and shouldn’t be used fuelling prejudices.
Dude, are you ok? Palestinians are not ‘cave men.’
If you stopped dehumanizing palestinians for a moment, maybe you’d recognize Hamas began twenty years into an Occupation enforced with direct and systemic violence, with the goal of ending the occupation. Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
Hamas in its early days, according to former Israeli officials, was seen by the government of Israel as a counterweight to the PLO. Israel supported Hamas as a way to break the PLO’s hold on the region. Retired official Avner Cohen, who worked in Gaza in the 1990s and oversaw religious affairs in the region, told the WSJ in 2009, “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation."
And in the backdrop of the 2006 election were geographic and political divides between Gaza and the West Bank. Contrary to what Bennett claimed, Israel restricted Palestinians from moving in and out of Gaza, as well as between the strip and the West Bank, since at least the 1990s, after the first Palestinian Intifada, or uprising, according to Al Jazeera. In addition to Gaza’s borders, the Israeli government controlled its coastline and airspace, allowing for military incursions into the territory, and, in 2007, established the blockade on goods and people that still exists as of this writing.

People Claim a Majority of Palestinians in Gaza Elected Hamas — Here’s Why It Isn’t That Simple
Hamas founding charter and Revised charter 2017
This is a brutal occupation that is an apartheid regime, uses martial law, and military courts, the theft and extortion of water, the exploitation of Palestinians as a workforce without rights, state-backed settler violence, the deprivation of human rights for Palestinians, the destruction of schools, the destruction of hospitals, the destruction of homes, the starvation of children, the execution of women and children, the inhuman torture and abuse of Palestinians and yes even children in Israeli prisons. The point of dehumanizing rhetoric like ‘cave men’ or ‘savage’ is to normalize human rights abuses, war crimes, and . If you see palestinians as human, the same as Israelis or anyone else. It’s completely clear that the Israeli apartheid is completely unacceptable, yet it’s been the reality for decades and decades.
