Yes. Israel isn't a stupid bear that can't discriminate between things or fighting another species... although your description does account for Israel referring to Palestinians as less than human.
Think of it this way instead... a white supremacist kills a bunch of black people and then goes into a room with 99 other white people in it and someone locks the door. As a black person, do you blow up the entire room of white people because that 1 bad one went in there?
That's more like what's actually happening.

Ok, then using your example, what if the room the white supremacist killer went back to is the local KKK headquarters where they have no desire to weed out the "1" bad one?

Not sure how much "democracy" is in Palestine, but it seems like the people that "elected" Hamas to run the show, and therefore they reap what they sow. Killing children is horrible, but like that video a few pages back where the dad eggs the child on to try and get the soldiers to do something. Yeah there's definitely that going on. The Palestinians can't exactly wash their hands of the whole thing and be like "hurdurr the Israelis are monsters we did nothing wrong"
In the same vein Netanyahu disregarded warnings from the Egyptians, people that two decades ago probably wanted them all dead. It's different and yet the trust isn't there and that's on the Israelis.

Gaza is mostly populated by innocent civilians and peaceful Palestinians.
I mean come on, Israel is verbatim doing what I illustrated... oh we bombed that building because there's a tunnel under there. Yah it wasn't a military building but oh wellzlol

Trudeau when he abstained from the vote for a ceasefire?
Guy won’t miss a opportunity to vitue signal though, ya abstained on the cease fire but ya cry when a reporter shoves a mic in your face.
Guess he forgot about canadas new moto of “all children matter” when more kids die in bomb blasts in 3 weeks than all the residential school kids combined? Lol eh fuck it, they’re off in some other place.

They needed 2/3 support to get the amendment but got 1/2

Clown boy is terrified to even mention cease fire https://ca.news.yahoo.com/what-a-jok...010228880.html
Imagine having to backtrack on calling a ceasefire that has killed 4000 children lol. I’m sure there’s a very good reason though..outside of the aforementioned power/influence heheh

If I have been understanding things correctly, Trudeau has been calling for a "humanitarian truce". While "truce" and "ceasefire" may pretty much mean the same thing to us layman, in international legalese, they have quite a different meaning.
"Ceasefire" means something along the lines of "sustained lack of military operations, with negotiations involved to secure a longer term peace". On the other hand, "humanitarian truce" means a shorter period of no fighting to provide a window to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian supplies.
You can still call Turd names for not stepping up to call for a "ceasefire", but it isn't like Turd is staying completely quite, and abstaining from calling Israel out for its atrocities.

The WHO is reporting those numbers as accurate.

Not too hard to believe

So what about rockets launched from hezbollah? Killing Innocents? Fake news? Turkey as a NATO member stirring up shit? Backed by trump? You think with the technology that they have if the idf really want to kill civilians it would take a month to kill 4000 when your best guys hamas can kill like 1300 in 6 hours? Are you trying to save civilians or save Hamas? Did you hear about Hamas snipping their civilians when idf tried to move civilians out of the war zone? What about the 200+ hostages that the hamas still hav? Let them die? Make Palestine great again?

Directly from the WHO release: https://www.who.int/news/item/03-11-...-agencies-warn
"As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data "
And from Wiki:
"Following the 2007 Hamas takeover of Gaza, a month-long doctors' strike ensued due to political disputes. The new Gaza government, with Basem Naim as Health Minister, replaced Fatah-affiliated hospital directors and staff with Hamas loyalists." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Health_Ministry

Why would the WHO back those numbers if they didn't find them believable? They have gone on record and confirmed that they believe those numbers to be true.
They could very easily have answered the question with "that's what was reported"

Where have they stated they confirm those numbers are accurate?
Hence the "According to Ministry of Health" qualifier.
No outside organization has been allowed in to do an actual count.
If you want an example, look at the death toll that was reported in that Hospital explosion, the ministry reported over 500 dead at first. Then the next day revised that number lower, and then other intelligence agencies estimated even lower than that. And then it turned out that was a misfired rocket that killed their own people.

I just saw a story on the news saying that Israel said the numbers were much lower, but a representative from the WHO believed the numbers reported to be accurate. I took it at face value and didn't confirm somewhere, which means maybe it's bullshit? But either way, that's what was reported pretty much verbatim.
After a quick google United Nations aid providers are also claiming the numbers to be likely accurate, and also say 88 aid workers have been killed. The highest in any conflict in such a short period.

Only partially related to what we are talking about when it comes to numbers, but a very good read of the personal cost to those who advocate for what's right. https://apple.news/AL2YqwokrTPaQsdiw48uaUw

In the video posted on X, a man films the carnage as he rides a bicycle down the Al Rasheed beach road, crying out in anguish the camera focuses on the dead bodies, many of them lying in pools of blood.
In a separate post, author and journalist Amjad Taha said the victims were among “dozens” killed by Hamas snipers, including women and children, because “they do not want citizens to leave.”
“They want to use them as human shields and will kill anyone who attempts to leave. Hamas terrorists in Gaza will, as usual, blame #Israel because it is easy and there is media that accepts this propaganda,” he wrote.
