I'm assuming you meant "do not". Please see the U.S. State Department's report on the "exceptional measures" involved: https://www.state.gov/reports/2023-country-reports-on-human-.... This is in direct violation of the UN Declaration of Human rights.
> I’ve seen absolutely no evidence for this. Can you share evidence that Israel is precisely destroying water, sewer and electrical infrastructure?
Google is your friend here. I didn't (couldn't initially) believe it myself until details of this (initial) BBC report came out in May. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68969239 What, indeed, could possibly be the anti-terrorism purpose of destroying solar panels?
> Why in the world would Israel fire expensive precision guided missiles in unguided modes instead of using unguided missiles instead in the first place?
Because, apparently, a preponderance of exigent circumstances dictated a rapid response--collateral damage be damned. Being more than passingly familiar with guidance systems technology and avionics in "smart" glide-bombs, and their exorbitant costs relative to "dumb iron", this is just stupid. Additionally, the IDF has the most highly trained urban assault force and undercover (Duvdevan) anti-terrorist commando (Egoz) units in the world and yet they somehow _must_ bomb an entire hospital to (potentially) take out a single cell?!
> For the most part, the failure of aid reaching where it needs to go has been a result of Israel being unable to provide security. We’ve seen what happens when Israelis don’t provide security for aid workers.
Notable that the "inability to provide security" seems highly selective wrt the source of the aid and not its contents. See details of the WCK attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen_aid_conv... and also this UN report https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/04/1148141 .
I completely concur on "genocide" being an attempted "Day 1 PR-flank", but far too many precise and planned actions have since been taken. In a perverse way, the Israel government played into Hamas' hands at the expense of the Palestinian people, trade, the quality of life of the Israeli people and further instability in the region.
As I mentioned in a prior thread, see the actions of the British in east Africa against the Kikuyu for a close historic analog.
I had hopes that Gallant's official ouster would be a political pole-star/umbrella under which the Knesset could rally, but that (sadly) appears not to be the case.
you can do a basic google search to answer your questions. i searched for "israel palestine water access" and these were the first page:
"Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of acts of genocide in Gaza over water access" - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c75wqr0k3dyo (same coverage from Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/dec/19/israel-accused...)

> 5. Hamas fighters are not fighting in uniform. They do qualify as Prisoners of War.
this is not adequate cover for Israel's indiscriminate killing of civilians. the geneva conventions do not work this way.
> Israel has blocked aid for short periods of time in certain areas. For the most part, the failure of aid reaching where it needs to go has been a result of Israel being unable to provide security. We’ve seen what happens when Israelis don’t provide security for aid workers. They get looted and killed.
no, they've blocked access for long periods of time. this is why there is a famine: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/07/un-experts-d...
they are also killing aid workers who have cleared their routes with the IDF beforehand: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen_aid_conv...

> the pro Palestinian sides have absolutely destroyed the opportunity for moderation and negotiation by labeling Israel’s actions as genocide from day 1
yes, because the genocide has been occuring since 1947. i would highly recommend reading the history of this conflict as it started long before Oct 7 2023.
