Do you think the Israeli state hasn't done anything wrong?

    I'm a little curious where you saw that in my comment. I do think it's a little telling that your first response to me pointing out the (relatively uncontroversial) fact that Hamas attempts to maximize civilian casualties by using human shields is to ask "do you think Israel is perfect?"

    Because you are begging the question by making the assumption that the civilian deaths are the fault of hamas and not the reckless violence being perpetrated against Palestinians by Israel.

    Well, it's an absolutely indisputable fact that many of the civilian deaths are the fault of Hamas. The sources I've linked show that beyond any doubt. I have not claimed, and will not ever claim, that 100% of the civilian deaths are solely the fault of Hamas. I do, however, think that any sort of argument relying on comparing death counts is made inherently invalid by the fact that Hamas does its best to maximize those numbers.
