Sowing confusion to deflect blame is Tel Aviv's usual propaganda strategy.

I dunno they could like try to negotiate and settle on something else then the complete extermination of all Israelis and Jews, just an idea

Firstly, Palestinian representatives including Hamas have tried to come to the negotiating table, ever since the beginning. The response from Israel is bombing runs, artillery fire, and bad faith claims that Hamas will not negotiate.

Secondly, Palestinians do not want to exterminate anyone, they simply want to be free. The extermination/genocide thing is common myth presented by settlers who can't imagine anything but genocide, as it's how their own society has been built, and they project this on to all other societies.

Riiight... let's justify an actual and ongoing genocide by hiding behind an alleged one that doesn't exist.

Why does this sound so familiar? Oh, right... it's the exact same "reverse genocide" trope the Apartheid-regime hid behind so long.

Alleged genocide? Hamas isnt even hiding that their biggest goal is to eradicate Israel and all Jews living there. They openly say it since they came into existence. Their goal in the war they started now was to kill as many people (doesnt matter if they were civilians or even foreigners) as possible. What is alleged here? Its all official.

On the other hand, Israel's goal is to kill Hamas, not civilians (even if edgelords on the internet wont see it that way and will scream apartheid and genocide without even know what that means), but that's pretty hard to do when they're cowardly hiding behind children.

Alleged genocide?

Yes, Clyde... an alleged genocide - you know, the one that only exists in your white supremacism-addled mind? You know... unlike the very real genocide Israel has been perpetrating since 1949? Complete with applause from fascist garbage-peddlers like you?

Israel’s goal is to kill Hamas, not civilians

Riiiiight... and I suppose next you'll be telling me the Nazis were only targeting "Jewish-Bolshevism" and not all Jewish people, eh fascist?

And how do they force Israel to negotiate?

Israel won't negotiate with peaceful protestors and won't negotiate with hostage takers and won't negotiate with passive captives. Just an idea, but maybe Israel is the one at fault for there being no negotiations.
