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.

    Sometimes I do wish to see what would the death and destruction look like if Israel actually did not care about civilians and did all the things people here describe them doing. Luckily that will never happen, and Israel will continue to care about the safety of their own citizens, as well as the safety of the Palestinians Hamas is hiding behind to a much greater degree than Hamas ever cared for a human soul.

      So you wish you could be more out and open with the genocide sometimes just to show the haters? That doesn't sound healthy.

      "You don't even know how many we could be murdering!" said the supporter of the country whose people had previously suffered an unspeakable genocide.

        No, I wish people like you spreading hate would stop ignoring the inconvenient facts instead of focusing purely at the numbers.

          Oh those inconvenient facts that make Israel look an awful lot like the monsters they ran from a few decades ago… we seem to not be ignoring them very much, dunno what you are talking about.

            I'm talking about inconvenient facts like Hamas hiding an entire compound under a hospital. How Israel is sending out warnings in 5 different ways before striking any target. How Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel civilian centers constantly. How Hamas has all these supplies stored up, yet people are starving. How truck after truck of aid, building supplies, and life necessities go into Gaza, yet mysteriously nothing gets better there.

            No, none of that is ever mentioned. Instead you hear people parroting how Israel is "carpet bombing" Gaza, targeting civilians, and "trying to genocide Palestinians". Under the same breathe they wonder why the Israeli government ignores them after hearing this bullshit.

              Perhaps it is because all we have heard for decades is the MSM parroting that Israel is the only victim here and how evil the Palestinians are. The Pro-Israel crowd is just a little surprised because there isn't blind support of their talking points and instead other facts are now being talked about that don't align with their propaganda.

              Btw Israel isn't just trying to genocide the palestinians they are doing a pretty good job over the last 3 weeks. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/middleeast/satellite-images-gaza-destruction/index.html

              Yep sure looks targeted and not like they are just demolishing whole communities. Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit.

      Sorry, but Israel had the support of the entire world, even Muslims, and lost it within a week. Nobody to blame but themselves. They thought it was a blank cheque to just start killing anything and everything that moves.

      If Israel cares so much, just go into the tunnels and fight your real enemies, you know where they are. Nope, they're just cowards at this point.

        Oh yes, just send soldiers into the cramped enemy spaces. Sounds like a genius tactical maneuver.

              Yeah, but they didn't bomb the children. That's why people hide behind children, so that you won't bomb them. If they know that conventional empathy is no longer effective as deterrence, wouldn't they probably not be hiding behind children anymore? Couldn't you just be killing children at this point and its just children?

                That's why Hamas is making sure civilians can't leave the strike areas. They need to maximize the dead for their own propaganda.

              They were hiding behind over three thousand children? That's the argument youre going to make? And Israel still hasn't gotten all of Hamas? Is Hamas just hiding under piles of children? How the fuck do you look at over 3,000 corpses of children and claim that a significant majority were actually just obscuring Hamas members, you fucking nutjob?

          But with your perfect army and perfect tech and perfect iron Dome, why not? They're just animals and the hostages were dead the moment they crossed the border right? Right?
