    Something something "Why won’t you answer how many Israelis have been killed by the 10,000 fired rockets?

    Because. It. Doesn’t. Matter.

    If you have the mental capacity to understand intent, then you wouldn’t be even asking that question because… (read the first line of this reply).

    Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are firing rockets into Israel with the express intent of killing random Israeli civilians.

    War doesn’t work on a score system. You don’t just add up casualties and say “oh the numbers are the same! Let’s stop!” Or “Hey, you are killing more of us than we did of you, that’s unfair.”. If you have the mental faculties of a child you might think that, but adults understand that in a conflict there will be different objectives.

    Hamas has the explicit objective to kill as many Israelis as possible and do so while hiding among Palestinian civilians, civilian infrastructure, or their underground tunnels and shelters (which are for Hamas and not the Palestinian civilians).

    The IDF has the objective to eliminate Hamas wherever they are.

    Israel has made it a priority to protect their civilians by fighting away from their civilian centers and providing bomb shelters within a 30s run from any point in their country.

    Hamas has prioritized putting their command centers in civilian infrastructure, firing from populated areas, and limiting their enormous underground infrastructure for only their combatants and not for civilian protection.

    They purposefully are doing what they can to maximize their civilian casualties. Why? Because they use it as a talking point that mindless idiots can parrot and use to condemn the IDF.

    If Israel didn’t care about Israelis the way Hamas and the PIJ doesn’t care about Palestinians, then sure, Israel would have the same ridiculously high civilian casualties as Gaza is showing now.

    You are proof that Hamas endangering Palestinians for a higher Gazan death count works.

    So “lol” it up, child. You’re doing a good job parroting Hamas’ talking points and reacting the way they want you to. I’m sure they’ll fire another rocket from on top of a family home with 30 civilians in it in your honor.

      You’re right. The threat level really doesn’t matter when Israel’s goal is to ethnically cleanse a population. They’ll will always be an excuse to commit atrocities regardless if people die or not. My bad for forgetting that.
