Hamas literally does this to get the heavy reprisal from Israel and drum up exactly this sort of support internationally. They're the real scum here and the poor Gazans are the ones who generally pay the price. Israel has no choice but to hit back, and Hamas has all of their infrastructure in civilian areas of the strip intentionally. How Gazans still support Hamas is beyond me

How many people have been killed by Hamas' indiscriminate attacks vs. how many have been killed by Israel's targeted attacks? Hamas uses indiscriminate attacks because that's all it can do. Israel uses disproportionate force because it can. Hamas would use disproportionate force if it could.
I can't blame or support either side's military approach to this - they are playing the cards they are dealt. The blame falls on leadership of both sides for not working towards a peaceful resolution to the whole issue. Personally I believe Israel has more control and responsibility for that but I don't underestimate the ability of Palestinian factions to derail it.
