    Notice I didn’t say “Hamas” in my comment. Hamas attacked Israel. Israel then attacked Palestine.

      You can’t cherry pick. Not all Israelis agree with their government. Not all gazans agree with Hamas, their government. But they’re the parties in charge.

        I can because of the massively disparate sizes involved. A tiny Hamas force killed about 1,200 Israeli civilians. Israel’s much larger army then proceeded to kill about 45,000 Palestinian civilians. That’s about 2% of the pre-war Palestinian population, and that’s not even counting the human suffering that hasn’t yet resulted in death.

          Yeah and sorry but if you fucked with one of my family members, and if I was capable, I’m going to wipe out all traces of your family, all the way back to the stone age.

          Don’t expect proportionate responses. We’re not cavemen and that’s not how it works.

            Actually your response is a very caveman response. We’re better than that. I’m not going to kill a bunch of unrelated people if you kill a family member of mine, that’s deranged.
