And what did Palestine do to get the wrath of Israel?

There’s been an unbroken streak of violence since 1948, when the Arab states refused to allow the partition and began an offensive war. This has been followed by other military attempts by the Arabs, supported by the Palestinians, until they finally lost decisively in the 1970s. That has been followed by five decades of intermittent terrorism and organized attacks.

I get wanting to criticize Israel. Their policies have been dog shit in many areas… but intentionally attacking civilians is something which Israel doesn’t need to tolerate.

Intentionally attacking civilians which Israel is doing?

Nope, they aren’t. You could make a quite reasonable argument that Israel isn’t doing enough to avoid collateral civilian deaths, but at the end of the day, the reason civilians die while Israel fights Hamas is that Hamas hides behind civilians. Claiming Israel is intentionally killing civilians is blatantly dishonest.
