Yeah because of those same standards (such as when Israel presented a map a few months ago with no Palestine on it, insinuating there wouldn't be Palestinians, which is ethnic cleansing)

Oh wow, a map issue. Genocide! Clearly they must have their citizens killed for it!

The Palestinians that had nothing to do with the terror attack don't deserve to be killed either. One in the same

Hamas thinks different, apparently. If they cared about Palestinians they wouldn't use civillan buildings to fire missiles, for example.

I am not denying Hamas as an extremist organization, even though they bombed that hospital out of incompetence. My point being every true reason you've listed about Hamas are still things Israel has done to Palestinians as well

You mean Israel did something comparable to a sudden violent attack on civilians, killing hundreds and taking hostages? Did it also announce the elimination of all Palestinians as a goal for better future by chance? Do Israeli happily shout "our god is the greatest" when they see missiles launching?

And I don't mean any of this makes killing Palestinian civillians okay. But these are clues that show how they are not adequate. It is normal to see people suffer from their inadequate actions. There is no use in blaming Israel after you start a war against it, just like there is no use in blaming a knife that you stabbed your own throat with.

People can proceed with their sympathy towards Palestinians, and they may even deserve it. But they also deserve all the blame for their poor choices.
