"pretty reckless" is something you might say about driving while intoxicated, not sure how it applies to a large scale, protracted military operations.
What "settlers" thing are you referring to?
Hamas was formed in 1987, are you suggesting Israel has done nothing improper since then?
Does one crime justify another? No. I don't doubt Israel did things wrong, but quantifiably less than the terrorists and also for a waaay better reason, they don't kill people for their ethnicity or religion, there are loads of Moslems living completely fine in Israel, there is however not a single Christian or Jew (or any other religion) in the regions controlled by those terrorists, that's because they kill them.
So one doesn't justify another, but then you try and justify it by saying it's quantifiably fewer wrongs... What on earth are you quantifying? Lives lost. Freedoms lost. Land lost. Quality of life lost?
You are deluded if you honestly believe the current Israeli leadership and that of the IDF has no ill will towards Palestinians or Muslims.
I'm more than confident the world knows what Hamas is. But Bibi's government has innocent blood on its hands and they aren't being held to the same derision. There are Israelis murdering Palestinians for land and they aren't being brought to any justice.
I don't believe that you don't hate Muslims or Palestinians. You sound like a white American saying "I'm not racist but..."
