    This is sad, but the trauma is on both sides of the border.

    It’s easy to flaunt bodycounts as Israel is defending itself using Iron Dome to avoid most potential damage. Remember Hamas has lit the fuse on all of this on their October 7th attack. Hamas terrorists are hiding and acting from underneath hospitals and schools . Hamas has fired 7000 rockets towards Israeli cities on the first two weeks of the war and is continuing to do so still. At Israeli cities. Also, Hamas terrorists intentionally group their launches to make it difficult for iron dome to intercept large numbers of rockets fired simultaneously.

      Just stop. This talking point is 3 weeks old. It’s hollow and insincere. You don’t get to murder civilians 4 times over and claim morality. Just stop.

        It is neither hollow nor insincere.

        Hamas attacked Israel civilians because they hate Israel. They don’t give a flying fuck about the Palestinians you are touting they do this for. If they would actually care for them, they wouldn’t dress like civilians, wouldn’t put their launch sites in or near civilian buildings AND would share their massive resources with the civilian population.

        I know that you and your club, Tokenboomer, don’t care about a single word I said.

        This comment isn’t for you.

          The hatred for Hamas has blinded you to the fact that innocent people; civilians, children, mothers and elderly are dying at the hands of Israeli military.

          Obviously what Hamas does is terrible but the fact that Israel is doing the same shit as a terrorist organisation while causing magnitudes more death and suffering which will also create more support for Hamas in Palestine is quite telling.

          Bro, Israelis come online and exclaim their feelings about Palestinians, go to any mildly zionist corner of the internet and they will gladly tell you how little they value Palestinian life and want them gone.

      Indiscriminate bombardment of civilians is NEVER “defending”… it’s just mass murder and terrorism. That is never acceptable under any circumstance.

        There is no indiscriminate bombing of civilians. If there was indiscriminate bombing of civilians, the Gaza Strip would be gone already - several times over. They could have carpet bombed the whole area and then destroyed the Hamas tunnels with bunker buster bombs.

        The ONLY party that gains something from dead civilians is Hamas.

          The idea that the bombing is not indiscriminate because they haven’t levelled the whole area is wild to me. You could even drop a single bomb indiscriminately.

          Care to estimate the percentage of Palestinian casualties that were actually members of Hamas? This is what gives the hint about whether it’s really indiscriminate bombing.

      The people being killed aren’t associated with Hamas. How is Israel any better than a terrorist state? Please tell me how you can defend a country that allowed aide to be brought in to the Gaza strip, only to immediately bomb the bakery it was sent to. They’re fucking vile and shame on Biden for not calling out these atrocious war crimes.

      Israel lit the fuse on this in 1949.

          Christian Zionism originated in England at least two decades before anything resembling Jewish Zionism appeared. So yeah… I guess England does deserve a lot of blame for this. But they are not the ones stuffing the kapo state with hundreds of billions in mass-murder money.

      killing kids with guns is bad but killing them with missiles is good. The israeli government is a cesspool of moral bankruptcy.
