My initial comment was a direct comment on the OP, to point out that the Brazilian president is supporting a bunch of adults who made a bad decision to support an actual terrorist organization.
Isreal has the right to defend itself. And it's actions, although heavy handed isn't a terrorist attack like Hamas and their supports condone.
How is Israel defending itself while obviously aware that the surrounding Islamic countries that have terrorist presence look on the genocide with horror and disgust and resentment, and will be much more likely to receive more intense terrorism in the future as a direct result of the genocide.
Edit2Add:™
Was carpet bombing Gaza the only way Israel can defend itself?

What you call massacre of civilians using US Arms, I call Israel buying hardware from US defense contractors to use in justified military engagements. F-16's and Maverick missiles give them air superiority.
Dropping leaflets, warning on site to evacuate the targeted premises, Amnesty International isn't selling me any cupcakes to the contrary.
War Crime is a subjective designation when made with emotion. It has been rejuvenated as justification to hold Israel to the highest War standards of any country that ever existed.
ICC is a joke anyway. Kangaroo done hung the jury with the innocent... I think Russia would agree.

Agree to forever disagree? I'm thinking neither of us are going to budge on this, and it is an exercise in futility, really.
Honestly, Scientology has a better shot of convincing me of their narrative. Maybe if you create or hold enough threads captive to your opinion, a few will get Stockholm Syndrome?

You trying to convince me or yourself of that one?
Are you sure your not projecting "the not accepting the truth" part?
You can throw all the numbers you want at me, and repeat it ad infinitum, and all you'll be doing is repeating yourself. May convince others, but there's no conflict in my head that needs to face anything here.
You come off as kinda of an anti-Israel cheerleader. Definitely an MO focused solely on pointing the finger at Israel, who is to blame for the war. Might as well be the forum equivalent of a propaganda poster.
Honestly, all you will succeed in doing is making me more Zionist. The more the words "war crimes" are said, the more I hope The IDF lives up to it, as their increasing belligerence reflects my own.

I know the realities hard to accept especially when you are supporting a side that is killing hundreds of innocent civilians per day in the name of self defense and freedom.
The anti-semitic and anti-Israeli cards cannot be played here. They don't work well.
So again
Israel is attacking and killing people at a rate of 250 civilians per day and it's unknown whether they get anyone from Hamas. So it's clear what is going on at least to those who don't unequivocally support Israel.
When you kill 250 civilians per day that's not collateral damage but mass murder.
You may want to come to terms with this.

It's already been proven that over half the civilians who put Hamas in power support Hamas which moves the civilian population from innocent to guilty co conspirators of Hamas, so your are a false equivalency.

53% in polling show support for Hamas, mostly in Gaza.
coopwb.in...
A more local accurate statistical analysis shows 44% over all support Hamas in both Gaza and the West Bank.

At the end of the day there is a huge support among the Palestinian population, and course neighboring nations for Hamas.

Still avoiding to answer whether Israel is a terrorist state and whether it has committed crimes against humanity and war crimes. All you do is going around exercising in whataboutism.
Look at what the Brazilian President said. I think a large number of people agree with him.

That poll has nothing to do with supporting Hamas in war that poll was specifically geared to political matters regarding Palestine's self-determination agreements, which were never honored by anyone involved.
You are pushing propaganda and it's disgusting, unless you really don't know or can't be bothered to learn the historical facts and even so, that's just ignorance or the desire to remain in ignorance which is pathetic.
At the end of the day, there is growing worldwide support for Palestinians and other peoples of that region that are continually attacked by Israel (again you need to read an independent account of history) for their campaign of what looks to be land grabbing and imperial control with the aid of the U.S. and others.
Didn't anyone wonder why on Oct. 8th Israel started bombing Hezbollah at the Lebanese border? No? Looking the other way? Don't want to bother reading about the atrocities Israel inflicted on the Lebanese people? No?
There is a reason Hamas, Hezbollah and others - what the people of those countries call liberation fighters - have arisen against Israel and others so read the history. Other factions in that region like ISIS and Al Qaeda aren't in it for liberating anyone, they are following their radical religious medieval interpretation of their Bible and these are the true terrorists.
The mass killing needs to stop now or there will be a regional war and everyone will be forced to get involved because the oil and gas must keep flowing...and imperialist agendae must continue at all costs.
