I support Israel’s right to defend themselves and wipe out Hamas.
What’s the difference between Israel defending themselves and what the allies did in Dresden or Hamburg?
According to all evidence

I agree 100%.
Not just the farms getting chopped up but the farmers also.
Looking at those who are screaming the loudest about Israel defending themselves constantly points to hypocrisy and selective outrage.

Black warlords chopping up white farmers is OK by world standards...

The white farmers were "oppressors" like the Israeli's.
That's the "mindset".

Israel has cast the deaths of civilians in the Gaza Strip as a regrettable but unavoidable part of modern conflict, pointing to the heavy human toll from military campaigns the United States itself once waged in Iraq and Syria
But a review of past conflicts and interviews with casualty and weapons experts suggest that Israel’s assault is different.
While wartime death tolls will never be exact, experts say that even a conservative reading of the casualty figures reported from Gaza shows that the pace of death during Israel’s campaign has few precedents in this century.
People are being killed in Gaza more quickly than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan
People are being killed in Gaza more quickly, they say, than in even the deadliest moments of US-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups.

And here we are with estimates, so 400k to 500k civilians killed by Saudi is not as bad?
There is no military solution to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and that's more than obvious. There is only political solution as expressed numerous times by many US Officials and Politicians around the World who have condemned Israel for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Politics didn't work even from the beginning when they turned down the two-state system. Also, who are you to say no military solution as what you think doesn't matter in all this.
Israel pounded targets in the crowded southern half of the Gaza Strip on Saturday and ordered more neighborhoods designated for attack to evacuate, driving up the death toll even as the United States and others urged it to do more to protect Gaza civilians a day after a truce collapsed.
At least 200 Palestinians have been killed since the fighting resumed Friday morning following the weeklong truce with the territory's ruling militant group Hamas, according to the Health Ministry in Gaza. Several homes were hit across Gaza on Saturday, with multiple casualties reported in a strike that flattened a multi-story building on the outskirts of Gaza City.

I find it amusing you speak about apologists when you are the one who has been trying to defend and justify the mass killings of innocent civilians in Gaza

You have made a range of bogus claims including one where the vast majority of deaths are civilians.

Nobody is trying to justify the needless deaths that you ignore are from Hamas refusing to evacuate their civilians, refusing to shelter their civilians, cower behind their civilians. While tuning Gaza neighborhoods and schools into rocket launch sites and store. While Israeli hostages are still being held captive and tortured. While this all started on Oct 7 when Hamas launched rockets into the thousands into Israel. When Hamas literally as an elected government sanctioned the targeting of civilians with murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, and the abuse and torture of hostages.
Now. How is Israel to remove Hamas that is dug under civilian infrastructure and uses neighborhoods as launch sites.
The South African government on Monday called on the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.
Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said it would signal a "total failure" of global governance if the ICC does not do so.
"The world cannot simply stand by and watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now," said Ntshavheni.

A senior Biden administration official said the death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is likely far higher than the 10,000 number being reported by the health ministry amid Israel’s war against Hamas.
Barbara Leaf, assistant secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, told a House panel those killed more than one month into the war are likely “higher than is being cited

The deaths of Palestinians have been caused by the Israeli Air Strikes and that's a fact.

Needless deaths if Hamas would evacuate their civilians away from the neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals Hamas made into rocket bases, factories, and by placing their command tunnels underneath. To literally launch rockets in the thousands into Israel over years.

Again.
Hamas refuses to evacuate its civilians, uses them as human shields, Hamas integrates the launching, building, and storage of its terror rockets into civilian infrastructure. Hamas illegally cowers behind civilians and civilians infrastructure.
How else is Israel to remove Hamas the elected government of Gaza that sanctioned the targeting of civilians on Oct 7th with murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, and the on going abuse and torturing of current hostages.
