    I, for one, support this bombing.

    Those dead children didn’t condemn Hamas enough before they bled to death.

      If you’re going to troll, pretending to be an ass to get people to be pro Hamas, you need to mix up your comments a bit. Otherwise it becomes too obvious.

      You’re welcome.

        What a simplistic little view of the world. It would fit nicely for a 15yo, but anyone older than 20 should understand that war is not football. You don’t just pick a team, consider them the saviours of the world and demonize the others.

        Especially not in a conflict as complicated as this one.

        Not everyone who thinks that killing children en masse isn’t exactly great is pro Hamas.

        Multiple things can be true at the same time:

        • Hamas is a terror organisation that kills civilians
        • The Israeli government is killing thousands of civilians, people in the government are openly advocating for dropping nuclear bombs on Gaza and Netanjahu has used scripture to advocate for killing all Palestinians, including children. They are currently starving 2 million civilians down there.
        • Most Palestinians and Israelis are civilians who mostly just want to live their lives without getting murdered.

              Oh, well that justifies being okay with children death. As long as the scales balance, then it’s fine. Right?

              If you truly cannot have empathy for literal children just because they’re on the opposing side of a conflict, then you have forgone your humanity. You are a part of the species that we really need to leave behind, if we’re ever to prevent future, ridiculous, conflicts like this.

                I think you misstook me. Please read my comment two up.

                Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government are justified. They are both monsters that would erradicate the other side if they wheren’t held by their DIY weapons and the international community respectively.

                If Israel wouldn’t care about their position in geopolitics, they’d have nuked Gaza a long time ago, and the West Bank as well.

                If Hamas had access to better weapons than glorified fireworks, guns from the 50s and diggers, they would have also erradicated Israel by now.

                And no, one party’s violence does never justify attacking civilians and among them children.

                The people caught in the cross fire are civilians and among them very many children.

            The literal policy of the current ruling coalition in Isreal is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of the West Bank with Jewish settlers.

                How about publications like Vox (who in turn refer to publications like the Jerusalem Times and Haretz).

                Must be anti-Isreal propaganda as well.

                https://www.vox.com/23910085/netanyahu-israel-right-hamas-gaza-war-history

                In 2017, Israeli far-right parliamentarian Bezalel Smotrich proposed what he termed a “decisive plan” to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

                Smotrich, who is now serving as finance minister in Netanyahu’s cabinet, argued (correctly) that the root of the conflict was competing claims to the same land from two distinct national groups. But, unlike his centrist peers, Smotrich claimed that these ambitions were incommensurable: that no territorial compromise could ever be reached between Israelis and Palestinians. In such a zero-sum conflict, one side has to win and the other has to lose.

                The key to Israel winning such a total victory, he wrote, is simple: Break the Palestinians’ spirit.

                “Terrorism derives from hope — a hope to weaken us,” Smotrich argued. “The statement that the Arab yearning for national expression in the Land of Israel cannot be ‘repressed’ is incorrect.”

                Doing this, he continued, begins by annexing the West Bank and rapidly expanding Jewish settlements there. Once Israel has declared its intention to never let that land go, and created realities on the ground that make its withdrawal unimaginable, the Palestinians will reconcile themselves to the new reality — accept a second-class form of citizenship, leave voluntarily, or attempt violent resistance and be crushed.

                Smotrich has used his time in Netanyahu’s cabinet to try to implement this plan — working both to de facto annex the West Bank and to rapidly expand Jewish settlement. The result has been the exact opposite of what Smotrich thought would happen: Atrocities by emboldened settler extremists ignited Palestinian anger. Atrocities committed by Palestinians led to settler retaliation, creating an unstable situation requiring a significant redeployment of Israel Defense Forces resources to the West Bank — whose raids themselves became a source of Palestinian grievance.

                Why believe Netanyahu’s cabinet Ministers when they openly speak of ethnic cleansing and destroying any chance of a Palestinian state?

                  That’s a significantly better source, thank you. But I’m still not seeing genocide. The ramblings of one cabinet minister in a coalition government don’t make something government policy. The only thing that Israel is actually doing is expanding its settlements, which is bad because it makes a two-state solution less likely, but it’s not genocidal.

              And there’s video evidence of Hamas dragging mostly undressed women through the streets to be spit on (after doing God knows what to them). Their treatment of hostages seems to be at best uneven.

                Wasn’t that from the initial assault where they went out of their way to kill innocents? I’m only talking about the hostages here, not the other atrocities. And I want to make it extremely clear that I don’t support neither Hamas not Israel, they are both despicable for attacking civilians.

        Let’s get Hamas to stand in a line and walk into a field about 100ft away from a line of IDF. They can take turns shooting one volley each direction until one side decides to charge.

        This is correct… If there are any Palestinians left after this they will all collectively be safer once HAMAS is eradicated.

        And despite all of this, the Palestinians are still safer in Israel than they would be in Jordan or Egypt who would have every man, woman, and child seeking refuge shot at the borders.

                How did ISIS seize it in 2014 if it was all destroyed?

                And why are people still dying when they walk anywhere near it?

                https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/14/world/middleeast/us-casualties-of-iraq-chemical-weapons.html

                True it’s not in production but no one is destroying the chemical weapons stored there, frankly it’s because they are so incredibly dangerous and in poor condition that they cannot be safely handled. The weapons are still there though, all of the various nerve and blister agents and all of their precursory materials.

                It’s bizarre you are so smart but don’t really know what you are talking about. I know it’s incredibly difficult to find truth in our media right now (and frankly it doesn’t even matter what political persuasion you subscribe to… They are all full of shit). But still you are buying the narrative hard.

                But you should at least take account of first hand knowledge. I was boots on ground in Iraq through the most violent and dangerous times. No we shouldn’t have been there, but it’s not like the lies about WMDs were farfetched… Saddam had stockpiles of chemical weapons and had already produced proven warheads to deliver chemical weapons on various platforms including their infamous SCUD platform.

                    What exactly is your point then? You think that HAMAS should be allowed to get away with their crimes because by fighting them it would create a second wave?

                    I’m sorry but not good enough. HAMAS teaches Palestinian children that their greatest achievements in life is to sacrifice themselves in the great jihad. They wrap children in suicide vests and march them around on TV.

                    Destroying HAMAS is protecting Palestinians. Collateral loss of life is a tragic cost of war… But the mission here is clear… destroy HAMAS, do not let them flee to their rat holes. HAMAS will always attempt to maximize civilian casualties. When will they release the hostages they are holding? These aren’t prisoners of war… They are civilians, non combatants… Why don’t we just start with HAMAS releases the innocent people they have taken hostage?

                People die in wars. Combatants, non-combatants, men, women, children, bystanders, supporters, journalists, doctors, criminals, religious people, atheists.

                We don’t want war… It’s bad.

                So if you don’t want war, you should conduct massive brutal attacks on civilian populations… Because that’s how you get war.

                HAMAS did this… They hold their own women and children at gun point inside of buildings they know Israel is about to strike to maximize the propaganda value out of the strike. The Arab nations refuse to allow Palestinian refugees to enter their countries in order to get them out of the conflict areas. Iran has purposefully financed HAMAS in order to allow it to disrupt the Palestinian Government and prevent any real opportunities for real sustainable peace. HAMAS build hospitals and schools with Iranian money… not to provide for the Palestinian people but to ensure they can wrap themselves in human body armor as they build caches and facilitation networks which is 100% in violation of international law and is not just criminal but utterly despicable.

                Meanwhile these groups and countries have never been shy at announcing that their only stated goal is the genocidal ethnic cleansing of Israelis and the destruction of the state of Israel.

                Who would have thought that all those years ago when Jordan and Egypt decided to take military action against a displaced refugee encampment all of those years ago that we would be at this point.

                Or when they did it the second time…

                Or the third time…

                It’s unreal that Egypt and Jordan just abandoned their own people in Israel and refuse to allow them to return to the nations they were originally citizens.
