They are targeting the press, they really care about public opinion
They're also full on slaughtering the press too.
So a rundown of what they're doing
- Killing 2 civilians for every 1 Hamas
- Killing children (50% of Gaza is under 18)
- Killing journalists
They're 100% correct Hamas needs to be wiped out because Hamas wants Jews to not exist, but goddamn the ends to not justify the means.
They've lost the fucking plot.
Mark my words anti-Semitism is going to continue it's crescendo and it's 100% because of the IDF and that asshat running Israel.
Hamas charter excerpt.
16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.
Good to know they uphold this text by not publicly murdering and raping random civilians in their homes and proudly sharing the video.
The IDF also says it's not genociding. Military groups are known for their trustworthiness

Does that mean Israel needs to be wiped out because they don't want Palestinians to exist?

I think a big part of it, here in the US, is besides all the post WW2 sentiment, a lot of folks here in the bible belt literally think they are God's chosen people, and so whatever they do is right by God, no matter how terrible. I recently showed up for jury duty and was speaking to a lady there about her son who had joined the Marine Corps. and thought he might get deployed, and she said, I shit you not, "At least he'll be fighting for God's people".
I've seen antisemitism. I've been in online communities that slowly devolved into rat caricatures and conspiracy theories about how Jews are out to destroy the world. So I know that modern antisemitism persists and is a thing to watch out for. But it's not antisemitic to admit that Zionist Israel is butchering innocent people because they want to claim all of Palestine for themselves, and that the west is too weak willed to do anything about it for fear of being called antisemitic, or going against "God's chosen people". That's not antisemitism, it's an objective, observable fact.
The even bigger issue is the Bible Belt is those moron’s reading of Revelation, which has them thinking Israel has to control Jerusalem for the rapture to happen.
That’s actually a requirement?
Do they have to hold up the Holy Grail and yell out “Jewmanji”, too?
Bro can i just say that i fucking hate that anti-semetic is even an argument used when someone demonstrates support for Hamas? it doesnt even make sense because by definition both parties are semetic.
I think there is a very good argument of antisemitism if you support Hamas. There is no argument for antisemitism if you support Palestinians.
Who the fuck supports Hamas? It's an actual terrorist organization that's oppressing people in Palestine
You would be surprised. Some people are fucking insane.

Colloquially yeah it makes a lot of sense to say Hamas is antisemitic, the word means hatred for Jews regardless of the etymology of 'semite'. Take it up with marriam-webster, not the people correctly using the modern definition of the word
Hamas Charter, excerpt.
16. Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity.

Oof, either you're just grossly misinformed and performing a cringey "ackchually", or you're anti-semitic yourself and perpetuating anti-semitic rhetoric.
While yes, both are Semitic people, the term 'anti-semitic' was specifically coined by Nazi Germany to make their genocide seem like it had a basis in science. They specifically used it to refer to Jews. Nobody uses "anti-semitic" to mean all semites except hate groups and holocaust deniers who are trying to say "see, it doesn't even mean Jews specifically! Jews are just playing the victim!"
I will assume you're simply ignorant or misinformed, but feel free to correct me if this was actually an intentional dog-whistle.

Golda Meir once said "After the Holocaust, Jews are free to do whatever they want".
Since then, Palestinians have been paying for the crimes of Nazi Germany.
Best take on this. A lot of Jewish people said “we must never let this happen again,” but some motherfuckers took notes.
Everyone post-WW2: "Never again"
- Some people: "Never again should that be inflicted on anyone"
- Other people: "Never again should that be inflicted on the Jewish"

The scary part is they very much may just do that. NSO Group is based outta Israel, it's honestly terrifying. The man has much larger balls than some may realize.
What're they gonna do? Fail to gather basic intelligence on him before he invades their country? Oooh he's so scared
Their mercenary software is no joke. They will own your phone without you noticing, and once they own your phone, they own you. This is like silencing journalists if you're a nation state 101

Just do what? It sounds like you're saying they'd hurt the journalist but the only context available makes it seem like you could be talking about the onion headline.
Edit: Did a little reading, fuck they're scary.
IDK about this group in particular but at the moment Israel holds the record for most journalists murdered in wartime.
There's 2 reasons for that:
-
They're attacking one of the most densely populated areas in the world
-
They're committing a genocide - when they want to wipe out the entire population, journalists are going to get killed in their indiscriminate attacks.
They're far-right too, so they're a half-step from flat out executing dissenting journalists (and how are journalists in Palestine likely to be aligned?).
Isreal has a database of all the people living in Gaza as well as their places of residency. Most (if not all) of the prominent Palestinian journalists have been killed in their homes, along with their families, in strikes using smart munitions during the first few days of the "war". It's giving Isreal too much credit to say they weren't specifically targeted.

NSO is apparently quite formidable in terms of hacking as well, to the point where apple actively sued them: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/11/apple-sues-nso-group-to-curb-the-abuse-of-state-sponsored-spyware/

Israeli neozionist troll factory attempts have never really shied away from the public, with the most notable example being Act.IL, but that doesn't make them harmless. Giving your identity away like this is the same as giving away your identity to Scientologists, expect a serious degree of gaslighting and bullshit to be headed the way of your personal and professional life.
And I do mean serious, because with extremists and radicals getting the reigns of government thanks to Netanyahu, foreign intervention having been normalized to such an excessive degree, and countries letting them get away with it so freely, expect the requirements to get labeled as part of a "problem group" to become significantly easier to achieve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mossad#Europe
