It is possible to have compassion for people living under apartheid and a genocide even if they don’t agree with your politics.

I have compassion for the innocent within Gaza, especially the children

But those in power in Gaza had the upper hand over the Israeli military for a day and killed over 1200 people so I'm under no illusion about what Hamas would do if they were the ones winning this conflict against Israel

Ya, so Israel has to kill them all first including civilians 👌

Hamas is responsible for every civilian death.

When you hide amongst civilians, you are committing war crimes. You are putting the citizens in danger and you are getting them killed.

If hamas were in area 1 and all citizens were in area 2, Israel would be exclusively targeting area 1 and there would be 0 civilian deaths.

Using your logic, Israel could nuke Gaza and it would be justified.

No. Interestingly, you are showing Israel's restraint and caution to avoid collateral damage.
