Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    Yes. So when people take hostages or use human shields that’s because good guys don’t kill the hostages or shoot through them. The innocent lives matter. That’s how that works. If you act the same if they’re there or not it makes you just as bad. Maybe worse. Glad I could help you figure that out.

      No. Hamas are terrorist barbarians who actively get civilians killed in order to protect themselves.

        Yes. If you get in a car chase after a murder suspect and run over a civilian with your car, you murdered them. Now that murder could be said to be a mistake. If you consciously run over a civilian because they are in the path between you and the murderer that is very much murder. Now if you go around doing that consistently it’s possible you might be the terrorist, as by definition:

        terrorism, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.

          Actually, the law in that case would charge the fleeing subject with a murder or aggrivated manslaughter charge (depending on the state).

          If you run from police illegally, you’re responsible for the damages cause in the chase (in most states).
