I'm sure Israel would love it if Hamas met them on an open battlefield, or even had nicely organized military bases they could attack.
Too bad Hamas is literally using human shields and operating out of civilian buildings (schools, hospitals, apartments) in order to draw exactly this kind of ire from the international community when Israel tries to fight them. This isn't their first rodeo, they're intentionally doing this to make Israel look bad and there's not a damn thing Israel can do about it other than back off completely (and let Hamas keep attacking them)
Does it suck for the civilians in Gaza? Yes
Would it suck more for the civilians in Israel if they just kept letting the terrorists attack repeatedly? Also yes.
Do you think the UK wouldn't start bombing buildings and attacking back if terrorists in Scotland started doing the same thing? We already know the answer to this, it's literally what happened in Northern Ireland. Thousands of Civilians died in that fighting too.
Do you think the US wouldn't start attacking back if a group broke off and attacked them? 50,000 civilians died during the Civil war.
"This genocide is similar to other atrocities, whats the issue?"
You're either an idiot, brainwashed, or wildly self centered. Regardless, you're promoting death of innocent humans. Shut up or wake up, thats the best decision you could make in life right now if this is seriously your take.
How would you stop Hamas from attacking Israel then?
I'd love to hear your idea for a peace deal that Hamas would actually accept and 100% stop their attacks on Israeli Civilians for.
Assume you could give them anything Israel has the power to realistically do.
Don't forget that Iran is paying Hamas (and Hezbollah in Yemen) to attack Israel when you make your calculations...
Recognize that the Palestinians are people with legitimate grievances and enter into peace dialogues with that at the front of your mind and the recognition that you will have to give an equal amount for what you ate asking them to give up.
Negotiate in good faith. It honestly isn't a hard or complicated thought.
It only is complicated of you honestly believe Palestinians are less than you as a people.
Remember the ceasefire deal of 2008 and 2012? Those.
