Gaza is not Hamas and Hamas is not Gaza. Those children are innocent and they’re nearly half the population, as the post says. When you put a huge number of innocent people under siege, and kill more of them than were killed on your side, you’re escalating.
Like it or not, Hamas are the defacto leader of Gaza, voted for in 2006. You can make all sorts of arguments about what’s happened after that, but if the people of Gaza have made no attempt to remove them from leadership since then this is the outcome.
I’m not sure how that justifies what is going on in Gaza. The claim was that Hamas and Gaza were interchangeable (thus justifying Israeli atrocities) because Gazans voted for Hamas in 2006. When almost half the population were, at best, toddlers in 2006.

Sure, let’s blame the civilian Palestinian deaths on the Israelis that voted this current gov’t into power…
Seems to be the escalation was Hamas invasion of their country on Saturday from where I’m sitting.

How many of those children voted for Hamas in 2006? Exactly how many?
How many children voted for various governments that lead their countries to war throughout history?

Oh wait, this isn’t how it works
What? The Isrealis were moved out of Gaza before the 2006 elections.
