The journalists who have seen the videos disagree with you.
At first, perhaps... as is often the case in the heat of the moment. But since then, the more credible journalists have come to realize the same things that I pointed out and they have retracted their stories, including CNN and the NYT.

Hamas, obviously, miscalculated the Isreali response.
I'm not so sure. They are very desperate people and I hate to give their actions any credit but they are getting more world support now than they ever did by playing the endless diplomacy game. Keep in mind, these are people who are willing to blow themselves up for their cause. Not something a typical American can even fathom.

That might actually be a brighter future for them than surviving another day under the heinous oppression of Israel. I've seen a little bit of what they are forced to endure and to be honest I would rather be killed in a blaze of glory than suffer under Israeli occupation.

America should fully support the Isrealis.
Which Israelis are you referring to? Or do you think they're all the same? Not all Israelis support the abuse of the Palestinian people. That's why Netyanyahu is being faced with protests everywhere he goes now.
If you are referring to the right-wing government led by Netanyahu, then I disagree. First of all, that government offers nothing to the American people in exchange, Secondly, I don't support governments that commit genocide.

There is no genocide going on,
Yes, there is. Sorry bro, but just because you don't want to accept it doesn't mean it's not happening. Israel is bombing the crap out of the entire area, they have actually targeted the water supplies AND humanitarian aid convoys. So what people aren't being killed by the bombs are being killed by starvation and disease. If that's not genocide, then the word has no meaning.

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here but not every Palestinian is a Hamas recruit. So I hope you're not throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Western media rarely ever shows the human side of Palestinian life. Some people think it's because Israel tries to control that narrative - they don't want anyone to see the human side of the people they are trying to exterminate. This is why our cameras focus almost entirely on the Palestinians who ARE terrorists, so it's easy for people like us to come to these insanely prejudiced conclusions.
Also, let me remind you that any dog will turn into a snarling threat if you abuse him enough and this is just what hateful regimes do the people they persecute. People were fine with the Palestinians until the Zionists came to screw them under and abuse them. The ONLY reason why Palestinians might seem violent or intolerant is BECAUSE of the way Israel treats them.
Now, if you ARE actually referring to ALL the Palestinian people, which would make you a racist, then no further conversation is necessary. I get it... hate is hate. You really don't have to explain it.
