Holy shit do you need a primer on how burden of proof and evidence works.
The Israeli government made two distinct claims: 1, mass GBSV occurred; and 2, aforementioned violence occurred on the express order of Hamas officials. The claim was specifically not that GBSV occurred (as that claim would have been meaningless, for reasons I'll elaborate in a moment). As the claimant, the burden of proof lies on the Israeli government to support both claims.
Thus far, zero evidence has been publicized for either claim. Not only is this a trait common to Israeli claims, the Israeli government commonly cites false evidence, or outright falsified evidence as support for its claims. Such as, for example, the wealth of debunked and obviously falsified "evidence" proffered al-Shifa hospital had been used as a command and logistic center for Hamas activities. This means not only does the burden of proof still lie with Israel to support its claims, the state is a known bad-faith actor which means its claims and support must be subject to heightened scrutiny.
Evidence of isolated GBSV having occurred is neither evidence for mass GBSV, nor that it happened on Hamas orders. That just means something that tragically happens in every armed conflict, happened. Less than a dozen reported instances, including two or three massively over-reported alleged instances, is not evidence for a mass phenomenon in a conflict involving over two to three orders of magnitude more people. It simply means a handful of incidents are being overrepresented to make it appear as if mass GBSV happened.
Which as a reasonable person would note (not that you are one), follows along perfectly with the Israeli trait of falsifying evidence. And indeed, to overrepresent isolated incidents to present them as a norm is one means of falsifying evidence. This is something to which you'd almost certainly agree...if this were instead a thread about gun violence or Covid mortality rates, anyhow.
So, where does this leave the UN report? Well, it simply concluded there is no evidence for Israel's claims. Which again, are specifically mass GBSV occurred, and on Hamas orders. Not that GBSV simply occurred. In other words, the Israeli government was simply lying to manufacture consent.
Which was something we already knew. If Israel had any intelligence whatsoever Hamas officials ordered mass GBSV against Israeli citizens, it wouldn't have hesitated to produce it.
