Not so fun fact about Ariel Sharon and the massacre at Sabra and Shatila:

As Minister of Defense, he directed the 1982 Lebanon War. An official enquiry found that he bore "personal responsibility" for the Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinian refugees, for which he became known as the "Butcher of Beirut" among Arabs.

He later became the 11th prime minister of Israel.

just for being Jewish

I think it was because of Israeli actions in Palestine, not just because of their ethnicity.

Zionists are using Jews as human shields.

The charter of Likud says

Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.

so let's see if Israel chooses security or expansion this time. Every other time they have chosen expansion and a Greater Israel, but hopefully they choose peace this time.

Don't you do some background checks on the sources you read & quote? Or do you tend to follow the herd? Here's some info from Wikipedia on the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong "along with some manipulative interpretation".[21]

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played "fast and loose" with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]

In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a "disregard for basic facts" when writing about human rights.

Imagine how hateful and depraved you would have to be to pay tons of money to Google Ads to promote your page and agenda to deceptively block people from donating money to those in need. That's NGO Monitor and that's what you're supporting.

Edit: I'm sure you're also very interested to find out the facts behind Israel's accusations of UNRWA workers so here's the latest:

Yes and check the page of the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel

Before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War broke out, the Carmeli Brigade's 21 Battalion commander had repeatedly damaged the Al-Kabri aqueduct that furnished Acre with water, and when Arab repairs managed to restore water supply, then resorted to pouring flasks of typhoid and dysentery bacteria into the aqueduct, as part of a biological warfare programme. At some time in late April or early May 1948, - Jewish forces had cut the town's electricity supply responsible for pumping water - a typhoid epidemic broke out. Israeli officials later credited the facility with which they conquered the town in part to the effects of the demoralization induced by the epidemic.[50]

Israel's Carmeli forces attacked on May 16 and, after an ultimatum was delivered that, unless the inhabitants surrendered, 'we will destroy you to the last man and utterly,'[51] the town notables signed an instrument of surrender on the night between 17–18 May 1948.

No, war doesn't count. Someone please tell Putin while we're at it.

Alright, thanks. I took your advice and I think I found my answer in the 1948 Palestine war:

During the war, the British withdrew from Palestine, Zionist forces conquered territory and established the State of Israel, and over 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled. It was the first war of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the broader Arab–Israeli conflict.

Critical thinking is not your forté my man.

Man it's refreshing to see people include more context than the usual good vs. bad, clear cut superhero nonsense that dominates the mainstream narrative. Thank you!
