The same thing that prevents you from putting in a piece of shit knockoff part that puts others at risk while you're driving?

You're desire to not die.

They clearly have a regard for civilian casualties. That's why they haven't hit some mosques, schools and other buildings that are known to be seats of Hamas' power.

They never tried that.

They did, in the Gaza Strip which has no colonies, self rule and the 1967 borders. In the mid 2000s. They evicted every Jew from the Gaza strip

Isreal is indiscriminately bombing civilian/Palestinian population centers and diving people out of their homes.*

A 48 hour WW2 era artillery barrages would flatten the Gaza Strip. Believing that Israel is "indiscriminately bombing" the strip requires you to believe that they're the most incompetent military force to have ever walked the planet.

You gave one example of it from 1971. Since 1971 there have been numerous peace agreements, cease fires and summits that were all designed to create a functional 2 state solution in the region and peace between Israel and her neighbors.

Eh, it's a point. Starting an offensive war with a more prosperous, more militarized neighbor is a dumb move on the part of the attackers.

(where they will enter to do Deir Yassin just x100)

It's 2023, they can do Deir Yassin x100 without an invasion. A 48 hour traditional artillery barrage; similar to what Russia has done to cities in Eastern Ukraine would do it.

Did you read that document? It's banning things like reprisals (the act of killing random civilians as a response for military members being killed). Nowhere in there does it demand you supply the civilians of the government your at war with in the territory that government controls.

Collective punishment is a war crime. Why is this being forgotten here?

Because it's not collective punishment. Collective punishment is things like the Bombing of Dresden or the Battle of Britain where a military/air force explicitly target civilian infrastructure. Declining to supply your enemy isn't a war crime.

a government the majority of them didn’t even vote for in 2006

Israel disengaged from the Gaza Strip in 2004/2005. They've been self governing since then. Had they (Israel) forced a regime change in the past they would have been criticized by the world for reneging on their commitment to a two state solution. It's not a great situation, but polling suggests that Hamas is incredibly popular in both the Strip and the West Bank.
