Let’s not strawman and say I’m excusing war crimes. Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here. Innocents, non-combatants should always be left unmolested.

However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews “hostile rhetoric” is so naive. It’s basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says. You’re dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

What else would you call exaggerating the threat to Israel in an effort to justify the many atrocities of the IDF?

Hamas and religious extremism are the enemies here

Yes, but that enemy is so ridiculously weaker than the IDF that it’s not so much a war as a campaign of genocide. It’s like if the US went to war against Rhode Island, except Rhode Island was cut off from the rest of the world and vital resources such as food, medicine, water, electricity and fuel.

However, the fact that you call the Islamic agenda of exterminating the Jews “hostile rhetoric” is so naive.

Is there any real risk of them actually making that happen? No. Is there any risk of Hamas making that happen? HELL NO.

It’s basically ignoring what every Islamic state actually does and says

I’m not ignoring it, I’m just not blowing it out of proportion and pretending that the systematic slaughter of all Palestinians is in any way justified because of it or that the slaughter won’t make that WORSE.

You’re dismissive of one of the most important facets of the entire conflict.

See above.

… and religious extremism are the enemies here.

So you’re willing to admit that includes Israeli state-supported “settler” violence too, right?
