> Israel killed over 1000 Palestinians from 2018 until before Operation al-Aqsa Flood. There's nothing really unusual about it from.that context. And Israel us currently massacring civilians in Gaza every day.

Hamas makes no distinction between their soldiers and civilians deaths. And given their blatant lies about the supposed IDF attack on a hospital this week (actually caused by a Palestinian rocket which failed) and impossibly high and fast death count, and the whole being a terrorist organization, they can't be trusted.

Israel attempts to avoid civilians casualties via roof knocks and phone messages. The only exceptions here tend to be people storming the border. You are comparing that against designed, intentional murder, rape, and torture of civilians by Hamas.

> Israelis murdered people on an aid flotilla a few years ago, and are evicting West Bank Palestinians from their homes with settlers, as the Israelis parade around the al-Aqsa mosque.

That flotilla was trying to break a blockade and had been warned against it. When the ships were boarded, there was violent resistance, which resulted in some of the fighters being killed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_flotilla_raid

Evicting Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank is obviously vile behavior. It's hard to get a liberal government elected in Israel to stop it given the state of the conflict.

About the mosque: It was the holiest site in Judaism for a thousand years before Islam existed.
