Everything. That's incredibly racist and a complete fabrication. Palestinians are normal people that want to live a normal life, which is impossible under the daily violence Israel uses to maintain the apartheid. Israel has always bombed Palestinians in gaza, both during the wars they regularly wage on Gaza and during times of relative peace.

Again you forgot to mention that Hamas has been shooting rockets at Israel for 15 years. 100 per day was considered peace time. By the way, the war will be over as soon as Hamas surrenders. بمشيئة الله. أو في هذه الحالة، بمشيئة حماس.
Obviously they are really keen to wage a little war every now and then so don't take that from them. The have free will and are masters of their own choices: If you go to a gun fight with a knife - don't blame the gun owner.
The Geneva convention doesn't know about "fairness". It simply states that every combatant is a valid target, no matter how incompetent he is.
And by the way, you are dehumanizing cave men. Being a cave men is a personal decision and shouldn't be used fuelling prejudices.
About Hamas in the bigger picture:
JLOTS in Gaza
Dude, are you ok? Palestinians are not 'cave men.'
If you stopped dehumanizing palestinians for a moment, maybe you'd recognize Hamas began twenty years into an Occupation enforced with direct and systemic violence, with the goal of ending the occupation. Collective punishment has been a deliberate Israeli tactic for decades with the Dahiya doctrine. Violence such as suicide bombings and rockets escalated in response to Israeli enforcement of the occupation and apartheid.
People Claim a Majority of Palestinians in Gaza Elected Hamas — Here's Why It Isn't That Simple
Hamas founding charter and Revised charter 2017
This is a brutal occupation that is an apartheid regime, uses martial law, and military courts, the theft and extortion of water, the exploitation of Palestinians as a workforce without rights, state-backed settler violence, the deprivation of human rights for Palestinians, the destruction of schools, the destruction of hospitals, the destruction of homes, the starvation of children, the execution of women and children, the inhuman torture and abuse of Palestinians and yes even children in Israeli prisons. The point of dehumanizing rhetoric like 'cave men' or 'savage' is to normalize human rights abuses, war crimes, and . If you see palestinians as human, the same as Israelis or anyone else. It's completely clear that the Israeli apartheid is completely unacceptable, yet it's been the reality for decades and decades.

If you were serious, you would read those sources and realize how dumb of a question that is.
