Because Israel is committing war crimes. Because Israel has stated, unequivocally, that Palestinians are animals and must be scourged off the face of the earth.
Oh, Hamas is airstriking hospitals and refugee camps too? No? They're not? Only Israel is doing that?
Why wouldn't this genocide be blamed on the ones committing it? Use your head.
Intentionally targeting civilians is a war crime.
And before you bring up human shields, the only ones to do so were the Israelis in operation Cast Lead. Read up on it of you don't know. If you do and still say this, then you're a genocidaire and I don't give a shit what you say.
I'm reading through the Wikipedia article and don't see anything about the Israelis using human shields. Part of it mentions Hamas using human shields, hiding under hospitals, keeping weapons in houses or mosques, etc.
Can you help narrow it down for me which part you're talking about?

Israel does a good job of making the world forget their actions.
Thanks!
Can you please reread what you just said? You're saying it's okay to kill children and innocent people in order to kill someone else you actually want to kill?

Not yours. Israel isn't doing a thing in Qatar.
You're either a liar or you believe in obvious lies.
Eat shit.
Hamas isn't forcing Israel to commit war crimes.
lol, Israel doesn't "have to" do anything.
Could you cite that law for me? Because last I checked there is no such law forcing Isreal to shoot back, school or otherwise.
Intentionally bombing civilians is a war crime. I don't care how many of your "intended targets" you think you're getting. If you are bombing civilian centers, like, oh let's say a hospital for instance, then you are a war criminal, Full stop. There is nothing forcing Isreal to do that.
So, if Hamas hid in a Israeli hospital would it be justifiable to bomb it?
"forcing"
Nobody is forcing Israel to do anything.
Operation Cast lead.
You really think using human shields is really a good excuse to bomb hospitals. "they're using hostages! Quick teach those hostages a goddamn guided 2000lb lesson!"
Get the fuck out of here justifying genocide.
Never again was for everyone.
Look hamas killing "millions" is unlikely given they haven't topped 5000.
Coolio. So lemme grab your kids take them hostage and you can tell me again that murdering me and your children is the only solution to hostage situation.
There is clear evidence that at least some hospitals were alleged to be Hamas operation centers but in fact were not. But even if they were operation centers, would you still think it's justified? How many Hamas members are worth how many "accidental" deaths of hospital staff and patients? Who would even dream of making such a formula? It's sick.
The issue at hand is about hospitals being destroyed, not about the Israel-Palestine conflict on the whole. Please save your "no side is right" language for an issue where that actually applies.
Would you say the same thing is the US was the one shelling hospitals?
Operation cast lead.
Every accusation is a confession.
