“We’ve burned down buildings for no reasons, which is violating the international law, of course,” he told CBS News. “…And we used human shields as protection.”

Yea, I was definitely not denying it. Just wondering why someone who is morally against it would do it in the first place.
Oh you didn’t come off like you were denying it at all, I just wanted to provide more context that I knew about.
As to why, fundamentally it’s due to supremacy and dehumanization. Zionism has dehumanized Palestinians since the start, and it’s been ongoing for generations. They see Palestinians as sub-human savages, and with that mentality it’s easy for them to legitimize all of the inhumane violence we see. This kind of dehumanization happened with the colonization of the Americas too, but since Zionism is only about a hundred of years, give or take, instead of the hundreds back in the 1500s-1700s, we are seeing it take place live with modern technology for the first time. Settler Colonialism needs to go. It has no place.
Agreed. Thank you for sharing the context.
