Stop using unguided bombs in densely populated areas. Stop using poison gas. Stop killing people waving a white flag. Stop sniping people outside of a church. Stop planning and executing demolitions on universities. Stop starving people. Stop cutting water supplies.
Dang, everything I listed is widely reported on. I think I have the right to express this even on HN on an article about a genocide case.
Please share your sources

White flag: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/gaza-palestinian-israel-w... (there is more than one instance of this)
Poison gas is a claim from the family of a dead hostage. They said the pathology report of the death indicated poison gas was being used to clear tunnels. So not confirmed. https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/editorial/2024-01-22/ty-arti...
Destroying schools: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/24/how-israel-has-dest...
Everything else, including these, are pretty easily searchable if you desire to learn more. I’m phone posting so sorry if this is messy.
Like the parent says, these have all been widely reported on. I think we have to come into this conversation with a base level of the events that are going on before commenting.
This was a very unhelpful response to someone trying to understand another's viewpoint.

Did you know that Israel controls a whopping 13% of Gaza's water? Maybe that wasn’t widely reported for some reason.
"After October 7, the Israeli government shut off the pipes that supply Gaza with water. It has since only resumed piping water to some parts of southern Gaza while some water has entered via Egypt, but it’s not reaching everyone and is not nearly enough to meet the needs of Gaza’s population, requiring many to rely on the local water supply."

Israel controls all water in the West Bank. Palestinians in the West Bank are not allowed to even collect rainwater because all water infra must be approved by Israel, and they don't approve much.
I assume this is fresh water pumped into Gaza. What of the desalination plants? Cutting off all fuel surely ensures that that water source is also cut off. I would not be surprised to learn that this infrastructure has been targeted for destruction.
