If you can't see that Israel is trying to avoid unnecessary civilian suffering then I'll accuse you of unreasonable demands on Israel.
Ok then you can drop the bullshit. I’ve said more than once that Israel is making efforts to avoid unnecessary civilian suffering. The harmful rhetoric comes from you, when you marginalize Palestinians and act as if they’re a single monolithic group that all voted for and supported Hamas. At some point you shifted that view, and I let it go, because unlike you, I don’t struggle to update my opinions when presented with new information.
I think the reason is that I am perhaps aware of nuances that you aren't?
Palestinians do support Hamas. Because Palestinians are tribal. They will support any group in conflict with Israel. Even when that is a monstrous regime guilty of the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians. That's just a sad fact about how Arabs think. If Israel would be removed from the equation, then the Gazans would turn on Hamas in a second. Because Hamas is Sunni. And Palestinian Gazans are Shia. That's how tribalism works. What policies or ideology the govornment of Gaza has will not enter into the equation of what Arabs support. It's all sectarianism, nepotism and tribalism.
Gaza has a problem with inbreeding. Families are jealously guarding the power of that family. So control who their daughters and son marry, in order to keep power within the family. It's a result of their values.
They do not have western values. Or rather, they do, when around westerners. But as soon as they find themselves among their own, they switch back in an instant.
And they are aware of this. Educated Arabs are very aware that Arab culture is dysfunctional and that western values are, in general, better. They understand that the reason the Middle-East is a mess, is Arab culture. But it is culture. It's in our bones. It's hard to change. But I have hope. I'm convinced Arabs can change, and will change. It just takes time. It's also not just religion. All the various religions in the area, have roughly, the same culture. So I'm not going to just blame it on Islam. Right now Gazans are of course extremely aware of how awful Hamas is. I'm hoping enough Gazans get over their fear of being religious traitors, and turn on Hamas. It is happening. To an extent.
If we project western values onto Arabs, we are going to misunderstand why they do the things they do.
