My position is that Israel is recklessly killing anyone and everyone with little discretion. They are not at war with Hamas, they’re removing everyone in Palestine that they don’t like (oh and sometimes the hostages they’re supposedly trying to save[1]).

They’ve killed innocent civilians[2], health workers[3], and journalists[4] all in record numbers. They have not shied away from war crimes and humanitarian abuses [5].

Israel has every right to defend itself, but this has gone so far beyond that. There is no action that justifies this brutal of a reaction.
