    I find it hard to believe Israel after they faked evidence and spread misinformation purposefully. I also find it hard to trust the word of a military official (that in my opinion is sending his/her soldiers to commit genocide) over hours and hours and hours of footage showing Palestinian children under the rubble and full families under flattened houses, or journalists plainly attacked and killed without any justification or warning or any fighters in their vicinity. Not to mention bombing ambulances and killing already critically wounded people.

    One eye opener for me was Breaking the Silence, an organization that collects testimonies from previous or current IDF soldiers. The things the IDF does in horrendous. Torture and humiliation for no other purpose but to degrade Palestinians. I highly recommend checking it out especially those who had served in Hebron.

    I also think the vast majority of other law experts disagree with you completely. I don’t mean on the stuff about Hamas (all of what you said about the tunnels is most likely true), but about the proportionality of the attacks that have killed over 10k children, in shelters and schools. It shows that the IDF has no regard for Palestinian lives, and some evidence from October 7th shows that some IDF had no regard for Israeli lives either and ended up killing many people they were sent to protect. I am sorry but it’s both impossible and unreasonable for me to have trust in the Israeli government or military (not just Bibi, we seem to both agree he is not exactly very bright).

    There is no proportionality in having killed the largest number of medical professonals, UN workers, and journalists.

    Thank you too for engaging in the discussion. I sometimes slip into this dark mood on the internet but there is no reason to turn this places into Reddit which we all probably left.
