The point is to keep the focus squarely on Israel. It's all Israel's fault, they deserve rockets, and they don't have any right to attack Hamas in response. Don't play defense by dealing with Hamas' genocidal intent. Go on the offensive; blitz Israel continually.
What's really fucked up here is that not only is Israel working to protect its own citizens from Hamas, but also to protect Gazans from their leadership which deliberately puts them in harm's way, daring Israel to fight back. A win-win for Hamas. If Israel stops itself from attacking due to the human shielding, Hamas gets to bomb Israel freely. When Israel does something, Hamas makes sure there's a price to pay in the media war. And the MSM along with various NGO's are ready, able, and willing to help Hamas pull this off.
Hamas is a threat to both nations' civilians & is trying to get them killed in order to score PR wins with the MSM. Every Israeli (especially IDF) knows this. Hamas cannot continue their strategy without help from the human rights community; including some of our 'friends' here who purport to care so much about Palestinians. They're going out of their way to whitewash what Hamas is doing. Anything to demonize Israel.
This is unprecedented.
We're talking beyond fucked up.
Imagine the hatred involved; the total loathing of Palestinians (and Israel) that is necessary in order to deny, ignore, or deflect from Hamas' actions towards their citizens - all so that Israel can take the blame and be demonized in an all out effort at total war vs. the Jewish state. It's fucking unbelievable.
Our 'friends' here opposing Israel are either completely oblivious to this or actively helping with this sick demonization.
And like 70 years ago, they're on the wrong side of history.
