You only read one side don’t you?
Hamas routinely disguises their own militants amongst its own civilians to ENSURE civilian deaths and create the narrative that Israel is an oppressive state.
I don’t agree with everything Israel has done, but your example here can be refuted by multiple other accounts of the same event. The use of live ammunition was not towards innocent peaceful protesters. Did peaceful protesters die as a result - yes. But, there was actual violence and attacks on the border wall - the “protesters” called it the great march of return. The objective was to infiltrate under the guise of protest, when in reality, they were marching on the city.
They admit themselves they were trying to “reclaim their homeland”.
What does that look like exactly? Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flowing into Israel to “reclaim their homeland”? Would they just live on the street or buy land? Or more likely start descending upon the homes of Israelis in an attempt to “reclaim” their land?
I want to know where these people all lived? What are their addresses? Is that what they are trying to reclaim?
No different from an aboriginal family turning up at your doorstep and saying, righto whitey, this was my land. Off you go.
How would you even manage such a thing fairly?
Who bears the burden of proof?
What about Cyprus? Should everyone in Cyprus just walk into the Turkish controlled part and displace the people living there for 50 years? I’m sure they’d like to, but it’s done and gone, despite no other country recognising the Turkish part as a legitimate state. Israel is recognised.
These matters are far more complicated than how one “feels” about things. Often there are 2 sides that feel 100% right and justified in their actions. You will not find a solution that sees both sides 100% happy.
But please, do not forget. The eradication of the Jews is in much Islamic doctrine - particularly radical groups. As long as the Jews and radical Muslims exist, you will see these attacks. You will also see Israel defend against them. Some will be justified, some will be paranoia, but when the enemy states their reason for existing is to eradicate you at all costs, you would be a little paranoid too.
Try to broaden your reading. Don’t just stump up one article from 2019 as the basis for your whole opinion on a complicated matter.
