Israel has owned up to the mistaken airstrike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza late Monday, but the real blame still falls on Hamas, which started this war and wages it so as to maximize innocent deaths.

Of course lefties jumped on the tragedy, pretending Israel targets noncombatants, and of course President Biden cynically jumped on the bandwagon, saying: “Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians.”

What’s “enough,” Joe?

The IDF has kept civilian deaths in Gaza to unprecedented lows in an urban-warfare environment, routinely endangering its own troops to that end.

But some civilian deaths are unavoidable when Hamas purposefully operates in populated areas so as to cause the exact kind of confusion that led to Monday night’s deadly error.

The terrorist group wants more innocents dead, to turn the world against Israel.

As for the “horrified” lefties: Let’s not forget how they cheered the Hamas atrocities — filmed by the terrorists themselves — that broke the ceasefire on Oct. 7 and began this war.

That day, Hamas intentionally killed 1,200 innocents, maimed others and took 240 civilian hostages, many of whom have since died in captivity.

The terrorists butchered children, raped women and played games with the corpses.

And the Western left celebrated, touting the terrorists as “heroic resistance” fighters and saying that Israel had it coming; they put Hamas paragliders on their rally posters and social media posts.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lamented the deaths of the “innocent” aid workers “unintentionally” hit by Israeli rockets: “We will do everything so that this thing does not happen again.”

Hamas, meanwhile, is doing all it can to see it does happen again — and, if the terror cadres survive this war, to repeat Oct. 7 endlessly.

Every lefty shouting “genocide” over this war is supporting the side that actually aims to commit that ultimate crime.
