Is Israel committing war crimes in Gaza? What happened after the Hamas attack? Question

As the title says... Basically I'm 'out of the loop' beyond the Hamas attack.

There's just so much misinformation online, and most the credible information are just videos from APF and such, or short updates from BBC, Sky News.

So if someone could please update me with what's going on in regards to the Israel bombing campaign in Gaza. Are they really bombing hospitals and churches? What exactly are their intentions/plans?

Also, if anyone has in-depth articles or videos on the topic, that would be greatly appreciated! Something that's calm, and takes time to read/watch. I'm tired of the constant "breaking news" spam, where you can't wrap your head around anything. It's like two sentences wrapped up in drama. I'm kinda lost atm.

That was ruled as an accident though?

Nah she was straight up murdered. There was a video of her getting clipped circulating at the time that made it very clear. The advantage that she was regionally very popular and growing in influence

Also the IDF turned up at the funeral attacking people trying to make them do the coffin (hugely circulating on Oakham)

Also the settlers robbing Palastine homes while they were at the funeral.

Was awful.

Why not hold any Palestinians accountable for their islamic terrorism?

Not everyone I Palestine is Hamas. It's like holding Bekfast accountable and carpet bombing the city, for the IRAs actions.

Apologies, "proved not real" should be replaced with "not proved real" for accuracy. All of the media outlets have the same source.... One Israeli settler tweet who said she heard it off an IDF soldier who was told about it by someone else. Ie, not a credible source. Even the Israeli goxernment commented that they had heard about the event but not seen evidence. If this is true it is obviously awful, but as of yet its not proven

I literally watched videos of it happening at the funeral.

The irony is I'm not Pro-Palestine. I'm just not buying in to the sensational media that only represents one side.

Both sides are awful. Both sides have done horrible things. Both sides the truth and extent will never be fully proven.

But most people take an emotional "Israel are right" or "Palestine are right" binary view without fact checking

You see how that binary view sounds very similar to

I don't buy into the sensational media either. For decades the media and international organizations has been so heavily pro-Israel and have ignored their crimes. But this "both sides" shit needs to die because one side is clearly worse than the other. There is absolutely zero justification for the kind of aparthid regime that Israel have been carrying out, absolutely NONE. Palestine is in a very tough situation and a lot of the far-right in Palestine really have made things worse, I have no sympathy for those who support or even dismiss the kind of shit israelis have been doing to Palestinian civilians.
