There are videos of civilians storming Hamas warehouses and being shot and Hamas on aid trucks.

If your main source is aid organisations then be aware UNRWA employ members of Hamas and the staff at many others call for the death of Jews on their personal social media.

UNRWA being infiltrated would at least be theoretically plausible (even though Israel is lacking evidence even for that, apart from a small number of workers).

But this argument falls flat when essentially EVERY aid and human rights organization that operates in the strip is saying the same thing. (With the notable exception of one: The GHF)

Claiming that the ENTIRE global human rights system is engaged in a coordinated misinformation campaign against Israel is conspiracy theory levels of delusional.

yes, because it’s not like access to Gaza has historically been controlled by a terrorist group. Hang on, wait a sec…

Are you serious right now? Have you lost all sense of relativity here?

Nobody cares about what these employees say on their free time. If you collated the things IDF members say on social media about Arabs, it would not look any prettier. It's a complete non-sequitur and emphasizes how insecure you are over the actual righteousness of these actions.

people exhibiting extreme racist bigotry should not be considered a trusted source venue on the homeland of those people.

If that was true then neither side would be allowed to comment. Likud is hardly sterilized of racist sentiments and politicians.

The outside world can still observe the consequences regardless of who's shaking the table.

The BBC is supposedly a neutral objective news source. Even if what’s you say about the IDF is correct (and knowing many Israelis it isn’t), nobody is asserting the IDF is a neutral objective news source.
