3. To me, even selling the weapons is wrong because Netanyahu's IDF uses them on innocent civilians.

Yes, in any war civilians die. But 75-89% of the people killed by the IDF are not Hamas fighters. They are mostly women and children. The IDF has failed to capture or kill the Hamas senior leaders, so all they are doing now is waging war on a few junior foot soldiers and civilians. The leaders are most likely in another country by now, having escaped through their tunnels. At this point, continuing the war is unlikely to gain Israel much more than the world’s disgust at needless killing.
