But if you stand a Hamas Terrorist and an IDF soldier and ask me who in this round of the 2000yr conflict holds the moral high ground. It is without question the IDF soldier.
Hamas are a pure evil terrorist jihadi death cult, that take pleasure in killing and torturing and who have no regard for the value of human life whatsoever, especially their own.
and you can say there is no difference to killing a baby by decapitating it with a machete or by an airstrike. The result is the same....a dead baby. But I reject those kind of arguments 100% There is no moral equivalence between the actions of Hamas and the IDF.

I’m not sure the thousands who have died under Israeli bombardment would feel the same about the distinction to be honest. At all levels, throughout the conflict spanning decades, Palestinian civilian deaths have massively outnumbered Israeli ones. Others have - rightly - pointed to the rationale for Israelis to seek vengeance. The most vocal proponents of this are in the Israeli government as it embarks upon collective punishment.
It’s a double standard to not expect Palestinians to do the same, through whatever vehicles become available to do so. Which is why ultimately this will all be futile.
It’s a race to the bottom for both.
