Look, I'm not going to go over that last one by one, but a bunch of those are taken out of context, e.g. speaking specifically about Hamas but being presented as being about civilians.

Some of those statements are also reprehnsible and are should be and are rightly condemned, within Israel as well.

But do you have a similar list of all the statements that Israeli officials have made that go against these? Because there are far more of those, they just don't make it into circulation like these. There are many, many on the record statements of Israeli officials specifically saying that the war will be conducted justly, morally, while trying to minimize civilian casualties.

You can choose to dismiss those as "well they have to say it to please the world", and insist that these statements you've linked are the only ones that matter, but then you're just choosing what to believe based on your own prior beliefs going into this.
