The evidence that I provided is only a fraction of what is out there. It comes from a report written by B'Tselem, an Israeli group.
We have similar groups in the US documenting US atrocities, but we don't give them as much creedence because we understand the context better.

The fact that this evidence surprises you speaks volumes about your exposure to media other than american or possibly israeli. Truth is still truth whether one wishes to see it or not. It is your choice.
Or we could just listen to you! Because apparently you have special insight based on special news sources that only you have found, presenting you with obviously correct facts that the rest of the world doesn't see because they insist on being blind to them, or becuase they have obvious bias that only you can determine. For instance:

When I said Hamas has nothing to regret, it has nothing to regret in terms of its IMAGE being harmed, since it is considered a terrorist group anyway. It also does not regret killing civilians, though it should. When Israel says it has regret, it has regret for its IMAGE being harmed. It DOES NOT have regret for the civilians killed, just as Hamas doesn't.
This remarkable understanding...! You could actually see into the brains of the Israelis and know that when they said they were sorry, they just didn't MEAN it. Was it the quiver in Alon Pinkas's voice that gave him away?

So let's sum up. Hamas doesn't have to apologize, because the rest of the world knows they're terrorists; it's kinda obvious. Israel are a bunch of terrorists and the rest of the world DOESN'T know that... maybe because they DO apologize? Meanwhile, the UN, which roughly represents the rest of the world, declares that Israel is racist and criminalistic and doesn't make the same statement about Hamas. And the shame of it is that the US citizenry doesn't know about that declaration.

And ketchup is a vegetable. I got it now.
