A story that stuck with me was a little girl whos parents had just been killed trying to evacute per Israel’s demands, she was trapped in a car by Israeli gunfire and called medics for help.

The bravery of the medics who set out to help her when they knew a literal tank was on site where they were headed is superhuman and heartbreaking.
There is no moral defense of Israel.
The phenomenom of ‘using queer rights to make your crimes against humanity look pretty’ is called pinkwashing if anyone needs a short word to describe it in future

So you don’t actually have an answer.
Y’know some people claim that Russia recently declaring all LGBT groups as terrorist organisations is because the LGBT support groups are all CIA plants.
This is not a justification for Russia obviously, whether or not the CIA plant thing is true persecuting your own country’s queer community is always wrong. I just find it interesting that people have no problem condemning Russia and pointing out that this is a bullshit justification for homophobia but with Israel calling into question the morality of “hamas allegedly hides among civilians so killing Palestinian civilians is justified” will have people compare you to Hitler.
I also find the “Hamas hides among civilians” justification interesting because… Where else are they supposed to go?
