Israel has already killed more civilians than Hamas did
Have they? Where exactly are those numbers coming from? That said, I'll gladly accept the claim arguendo. The difference is that 100% of Hamas civilian killings were intentional, while 100% or close to it of Israeli were unintentional - and thus not war crimes, assuming proportionality is met.
Still a weird thing to defend, though.
I don't see it as defending anything, but rather, explaining what war crimes are and aren't.
Whoever bombed a hospital, and whether intentional or accidental, should be totally condemned.
Agreed. But if a hospital is used as a military base, it is a legitimate military target, and the war crime is on those using it as a human shield.
