I highly doubt the IDF was responsible for more than a handful of the 695 civilian deaths.

We went from 1400 to 1139 civilians killed. The IDF initially counted more then 250 Hamas fighters burnt to a crisp as israeli deaths. Often because they were next to hostages inside Kibbutes.

First the IDF claimed that Hamas burnt those people alive. But it has become clear now that Hamas had hostages bound up and tried to swap them as a deal to get free. Then the tanks shot and killed everyone inside.

Or did those 250 Hamas fighters in multiple locations spontaneously combust? Did they all randomly die themselves while putting people on fire for funsies? There are multiple pictures on the Oct7 propaganda site that we now know have been killed by the IDF from israeli witness statements.

You can guess who killed someone based on how they died

• If they were shot by a bullet, probably Hamas with AK's.

• If they have a massive blast/burn wound and are missing a part of their body, probably Hamas with grenade or RPG.

• If they were completely burnt to a crisp, probably an IDF tank shell or Hellfire missle from an Apache.

Then roughly 2/3 of Hamas soldiers were blinded by rage. Is it supposed to make me feel better that Hamas is comprised of mostly violent morons with no accountability rather than actively commanding their soldiers to murder civilians? Because it doesn’t, and fuck Hamas.

At least they very actively avoided killing children unlike the IDF is doing in Gaza with 11.000+ children dead. And a few adults

In comparison with every other armed resistance against occupation in the past, Hamas has one of the lowest civilian casualty rates. Most resistances just kill everything and everyone. America has a 90% civilian casualty rate in their wars so even compared to western nations Hamas is doing better.

Are they angels? Absolutely not. Some people in their ranks definitely committed heinous crimes and need to go to jail or them. Most of those had their entire family killed by israel so they just wanted revenge.

But from the top down they're not genocidal maniacs that just want to kill everyone. Their plan was attacking military bases and taking hostages and the more time passes the more believable their claims have gotten.
