The first casualty of war is the truth. Many of the atrocious events by Hamas are not as clear cut as originally reported. It looks like the primary goal of Hamas was to capture hostages for a large scale prisoner exchange. The IDF over reacted and to suppress the capture of hostages, killing both Hamas fighters and Israeli citizens. I am describing the situation, not absolving anything or anyone.
Look for the analysis by Scott Ritter on Youtube.

I do not think outright murder of civilians was the goal of the October 7th attack.
Btw I wouldn’t share Ritter as a source even if you agree with the analysis - he’s compromised financially and ethically
Even if your claims are true, he has valuable insights and connects things in ways that others do not. The phrase "wouldn't share" is an interesting way to suppress a viewpoint.
I still watch mainstream news even though it is compromised financially, ethically and politically.
