People compare Hamas to Nazis. That's not fair. Nazis knew killing Jews was wrong. That's why they did it in secret, mostly in Poland at isolated death camps (Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor, Chelmno, Belzec). At war's end covered over their crimes, burned documents, destroyed gas chambers & denied it after. Hamas is bragging about murdering Jews, posting videos on social media & declaring "Allahu Akbar" If you do not support Israel & the Jews, you are literally worse than the Nazis.
The biggest problem with his point is what so many nutcases are doing here, they are equating not supporting the revenge bombardment and further devastation of Gaza with hating Jews.

I know some people are brainwashed because they outright refuse to accept the fact that Israel has murdered innocent civilians for decades. The numbers are debatable, but its a fact they have done so, no matter under what cover or justification. I immediately discard anyone's views if they can't recognize there is blood on both side's hands not just one. I'm also not interested in anyone justifying murders. What are the least damaging and most effective measures to achieve peace?
This is a fair retort- and in all honesty, there have been cases of Israeli war crimes (for example that journalist a few months ago). I'm probably splitting hairs in your view, but I don't think bombing a building with military value after warning everyone to evacuate is as bad as breaking into someone's house and shooting them while they are un-armed.
In the end the last sentence should be the goal. I just do not know how that happens while Hamas is in charge. They have in their charter the complete end of Israel, they kill any Palestinian opposition, and one of their leader said they want a fully Islamic world. Israel had just let in more Gaza Residents with work permits (Progress, no matter how small) and they still went ahead with this attack.
Suppose Israel does stop now, does anything in the future actually change? Counterpoint: if they do go in, do they get stuck in an Urban Quagmire? And while many here do not worry about it, I do worry that too many Palestinian deaths, while also being a tragedy, does create a lack of support from the international community, leading to issues for Israel.

On Day 1 of the mission to destroy Gaza, Israel destroyed everything in the ten block Al-Furqan area, including a mosque, a university, two banks, and anything and anyone that was breathing. The neighborhood is effectively gone. Reduced to rubble. Uninhabitable. Imagine where terrorists will be on Day 30 of Operation No Restraint?

not sure what to say other than if your nation/state/territory slaughters 1000+ Israeli civilians in a surprise attack, your cities will have a lot of rubble afterwards. That's how this works.
so many of you need to get educated and learn history, it was europe washing their hands of the jews and being nimbys about where they were able to settle, so they foisted them all off onto the middle east and made it their problem. absolutely shameful.
Europe didn't choose the location the Jews did.
So much so that it’s creation is called the British mandate.

but the more interesting point is how brazenly murderous Hamas is. Very very few groups actively go shoot 1000 civilians and then brag about it, knowing your people will cheer for it. The Nazis knew not to tell all their citizens what they were doing in the camps, because of some element of shame and morality in the German nation. Apparently Hamas/Palestinians do not have that element.

But they had a lot of rubble and amongst that rubble thousands are slaughtered even before the attack.
Those most at risk of prosecution of war crime in no particular order: 1) riflemen, 2) infantry platoon sergeant, 3) military corrections officer, 4) military police.
Are you talking about being put on trial as a war criminal or are you talking about risking getting assassinated over the next twenty-five years while sitting in a coffee shop in Beverly Hills?
Commissioned officers get away with a lot. Enlisted men who fight outside the lines get hunted post conflict.
Israelis are often warning those in buildings. Guerrillas hear the warning and move. That's what guerrillas do: fight and move. Only ones left after brief warnings are civilians so it is cold blooded murder what Israelis are doing.

The "brainwashed" are the apologists like yourself that pretend there is any moral equivalence between what Hamas does and what Israel does.

It’s highly likely regimes hide this stuff to avoid potential future prosecution for war crimes and NOT some wonderful degree of morality. Either way the outcome is the same.
