    Hamas is not “exclusively” targeting Israeli civilians. Or do you think they are avoiding military targets? Israel also targets Palestinian civilians, and willingly accepts Israeli civilians as casualties. Literally everything you said applies ten-fold to Israel.

      Hamas goal is to kill all jews. Israels goal is to kill all Hamas fighters. That doesn’t add up with your claim.

        It is certainly convenient to frame this conflict purely in terms of racial hatred. In that case you may want to take a look at all the racist and exterminationist rhetoric that comes from Israeli politicians and settlers. Israel’s ultimate goal is annexation of all Palestinian territories.

          That is how Hamas frames it. I wouldn’t consider it convenient from Israel’s pov.

            It’s very convenient for Israel to pretend that Hamas has no reason other than racism to hate Israel.
