Israel has killed 3 times more children in Gaza in 2 months than Russian has killed in Ukraine in 2 years.

Israel has every right to destroy Hamas. They are cowards and responsible for every one of their own people鈥檚 death. As Hamas uses sexual torture against Israeli women there is no universe where they will be allowed to exist.

@MethDozer @basilfawlty89 Arguments being repeated ad nauseum. You get the last word.

@Bumbles ah so it's ruductio as absurdism if other people who were victims of genocide and land loss want reparations, but not when Jewish people do?

Like I said - you view some people as more equal than others.
MethDozerM
@Bumbles We're talking an elite military going vs. a rag-tag force.

The fuck they aren't going after everyone. Actions and numbers says otherwise.

Do Ukrainians use human shields? Does Ukraine put tunnel entrances in schools? Also, the demographics of Ukraine are different than Gaza. A lot of young people in Gaza.
@lumberjackslam More hope than they have had for generations due to oppression

@Ozymandiaz there's some truth to the saying "we are our own worst enemy"
@lumberjackslam I think that is very apt for both sides in this mess.

Also, for everyone in general
CountScrofula41-45, M
It's odd how the death toll actually roughly matches the demographics of the Gaza Strip. Like Gaza is something like 48% children and that's about the percentage of children counted in the death toll.

Which is -weird- right. I thought this was a precision operation by a world class military to only take out terrorists. A less forgiving person than myself may assume the killing is indiscriminate.
@CountScrofula You know what the worst part about this post is? The figures are nearly a month out of date. The real figure is closer to 7000.
CountScrofula41-45, M
@Ozymandiaz Well and it's almost certainly grossly undercounted at this point. "We've given up counting the dead" is something I've heard a few times.

It's heart breaking..children do not deserve to die no matter where they are from
As unfortunate as it is. Israel is defending itself , Hamas attack them with rockets then they hide behind innocent civilians, those are human shields. Check news
@mysteryespresso It's not a war. It is systematic ethnic cleansing and massacring on a genocidal scale wages by a nuclear power on one of the worlds most disadvantaged and deprived peoples.
basilfawlty8931-35, M
@mysteryespresso most certainly you can. I'd take the Armenian side during the Armenian Genocide and Turkish Armenian War.
HoraceGreenley56-60, M
According to whom?
basilfawlty8931-35, M
@HoraceGreenley I've provided stats from universities, research journals and npos that are peer viewed.

Your usual response is too poo poo it and then post a stupid meme are gif. Do you understand why you're considered the village idiot of SW?

@basilfawlty89
Only you and your ilk feel that way. That group is too cowardly to review the material that I provide.

You and your cronies only comment on posts made by one of your kind. That way you can all mutually support each other without dissent or challenge.

Look at the commenters on this post.

Hey, I resent that! 馃ぃ

At the end of the day there鈥檚 nothing you can do about it. Neighboring Arab and muslim countries have failed in allowing Palestinian citizens in Gaza to evacuate and Hamas only cares about dead Palestinians for their own propaganda.

@Ozymandiaz Hear what? The pressure to ceasefire? Protest for Israel to ceasefire has been ongoing since this newest conflict began. That temporary ceasefire that occurred on the 24th of November and lasted on December 1 was due to negotiations from several countries including Qatar and Egypt to allow israeli hostages to be freed In exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli prison to be released. The Israeli government accepted that deal. That ceasefire ended when Hamas alleged that Israel rejected a hostage exchange deal to prolong the truce, and Hamas then launched rockets into Sderot, Israel.

I guess by people who want it that way.
@Puppycat23 So says Israel who have been fairly liberal with the truth

We'd have people from black countries just walking in wherever they please. This is what keeps democracy and universal rights from coming to your town. Killing is part of the borders for people with freedom for corporations and certain military forces to dominate the world.

Just admitting that will get you blacklisted from Hollywood.

@BohemianBoo Because of the bagels and lox crowd? 馃ぃ

@flipper1966 Probably.

Muslims arent real people so it鈥檚 all okay 馃憤馃徎

Hamas is the governing authority. Hamas has a responsibility for the welfare of Gazans. I read the case of a boy who was abused by his father. The mother failed to protect the child from the father's abuse. A court found both parents unfit and put the kid in foster care. The father was unfit because he was an abuser. The mother was unfit because she permitted the abuse to continue. Israel is like the abusive father. Hamas is like the unfit mother.

Keep in mind, the use of human shields is [i]per se[/i] a war crime. But causing civilian casualties in war is not [i]per se [/i]a war crime.
@flipper1966 Doesnt change the fact the killing kids is worse than hiding behind them
@RedBaron Nothing 馃槀

Opinion piece in yesterday's NY times about child deaths in Gaza. Potent word of caution for aggressive Israel supporters.
