It seems that there are a lot of Israelis that believe that there are no innocents in Gaza. And one could argue that it’s possible that a significant majority of the population is hateful towards Israelis, considering the history.

If you agree with this argument, can you please explain why and elaborate? And if you don’t, how would you refute it? There is no data that shows that there isn’t a significant majority that’s hateful towards the Israelis.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not stating my opinion as I want to hear an unbiased opinion from you.

    They killed ~800 civilians according to Israel, but Israel has refused any independent investigation into these numbers and their causes of death. Likely the number was much lower and a lot were killed by Israel fire in the confusion or under hannibal directive.

    The number of Hamas fighters that actually had civilian blood on their hands was at the time of the attack surely not in the thousands, because how can multiple people kill a single person.

    After 16 months of bombing, arrests and starvation the number of hamas fighters alive that have actually killed any Israeli civilians is bound to have dwindled to a fraction of the initial number. All that is left are military forces engaged in war with other military forces.

    All the while tens of thousands probably more than 100k univolved gazans have been killed by bombing, gunfire or starvation.

    In terms of hatred im sure most gazans would be happy if Israel crumbled, but people are to be judged for actions not thoughts.

    A whole different topic of discussion is whether settlers occupying and partying on internationally disputed territory should be considered civilians.

      That answers your opinion the “no innocent Israelis” question.
