It's not good guys against bad guys. Hamas is loathsome and despicable. That is not a statement about Likud, it is a statement about Hamas.
Likud is not the only party immiserating the Palestinians. When UNRWA discovered that three of its schools were being used to warehouse missiles they gave the missiles back to Hamas. That underground military base, with its headquarters under the hospital, is built out of cement stolen from the people of Gaza.
If you want to be pro-Palestinian, you can't pick and choose which villain you oppose. All or none.

If you want to try to imagine feelings, imagine the feelings of a soldier exploring those tunnels when a 10 year old boy wearing an explosive suicide vest runs at him.

lol this derailing

sorry you support child murderers

you are forgetting that Israel is not just killing Hamas terrorists (it is quite discussable who the terrorists are here, mind you) but the future of Palestinian people all alone bombing schools and killing children, for god's shake... I call that genocide because they're doing it knowing exactly what they're doing.

Your concern for the people of Gaza must include the children whose schools are being exploited for Hamas' military use or it's useless.
Killing 0.08% of a population simply is not genicide. period

This is sickening. And even worse is the US' continued support of this garbage.

I'm not disagreeing, but just saying that other countries are equally culpable: Canada's policy for instance is *horrible* in this regard. Ugh.
