Hamas attacked Israel. Hamas didn’t attack military installations but intentionally targeted civilians.

- Reports indicate about 1,200 were killed. Of course, many of those were citizens of other countries, like the U.S.
- 364 civilians were killed at a concert. Gunned down while trying to hide in trees, cars or wherever they thought the terrorists might not find them. At least 40 others at the concert were taken hostage. Many women were raped. Shani Louk, a young woman attending the concert, was kidnapped, raped and murdered by Hamas, then her body was thrown in the back of a truck and paraded around Gaza to the cheers of its citizens, some of whom abused her corpse. There are many similar stories. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/10/the-story-of-11-families-who-were-victims-of-hamas.html
- Many Israeli civilians were butchered in their homes with bullets, fire or knives. This story discusses a family of 5, who had moved to Israel from Boston, found dead in their beds. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-attacks-funerals-76ddd26c80c6c4662987c0dd708d6707
- Hamas’ cowards raped and sexually mutilated 100s of women. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_and_gender-based_violence_in_the_7_October_attack_on_Israel
- Hamas still holds at least 200 hostages it kidnapped on 10/7, some of whom are infants. Numerous reports confirm that Hamas routinely rapes the female hostages. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/voices/2024/03/31/hamas-hostage-crisis-amid-war-gaza/73131624007/

After all this occurred, Israel invaded Gaza in an attempt to eliminate Hamas so that it could not kidnap, murder and rape civilians in the future. Like all cowards, Hamas didn’t want to face justice, so it hid in Gaza’s homes, hospitals and schools. During this conflict, many civilians undoubtedly have died. And others were killed while trying to assist the civilians caught in the crossfire. But let’s be clear—Israel is not intentionally targeting civilians. It isn’t attacking concerts, or raping women and parading their bodies in trucks, or going into homes and targeting families at dinner or in their beds.

Sorry for the lengthy post, but there is no equivalence between the attacks by Hamas—which explicitly states its GOAL is to kill all Jews—and the war being waged by Israel. You’re too smart not to know this.
