 I think you’re a reasonable man, and given the information I trust you will come to a conclusion that is more reflective of the facts. I genuinely suggest, sincerely from my heart, that you just watch the video I shared above with Norman Fincklstine, a Jewish scholar in this field. He’s not a Muslim or Hamas so hopefully that would eliminate the suspicion of bias. Watch that; and let me know how you feel after.

To address in brief, 

1) Regarding the lies about mass rape, that’s received an Uber push just over the last few days, total lies, as can be seen here. They even used picture from wars in Kurdistan as evidence of Hamas. Lies

2) The babies, also lies, debunked here also here and plenty of other places

3) The human shields has also been debunked for over a decade now, with no independent organisation every been able to verify that, while all alone independent orgs have proven that Israel has been using human shields for decades now. If you want evidence for this just ask, but I think Norman addresses this

4) They prevent people leaving Gaza, not true, and again, where is the Independent evidence for this?

5) Killing non-combatant men and women, like I said, there were a lot of people who died as a result of the military operation. But there is strong evidence that they weren’t intentional if it occurred. But remember, these places were fortified military locations, even if there were civilians living there. And a civilian who picks up a weapon is now a combatant under international law by the way. Again, if you want evidence for this I can get it. But here is the evidence that the Israelis killed their own people on the 7th

I sincerely request you give Norman a go. He explains it better than me, being a scholar in this. https://image.nostr.build/888a87ea4e0a5d46120545693ed09b95eb1892b682e76b8bf3e8b24da7f2361e.jpg
