    a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

    Sounds like a nation to me.
    Hamas is the government of Gaza.
    When one’s government goes to war, the people who live under it are subjected to the consequences. This is how war works.

        It’s terrible, it’s tragic, it’s unfortunate, but yes it’s justified provided these deaths are collateral damage when attacking valid military targets, as it seems they are.

        What is not justifiable is using them as human shields and hiding among them. This is what caused these deaths: Hamas murdering Israeli civilians while hiding behind the children of their own nation.

        Why Palestinians don’t have more outrage for Hamas than they do for the IDF is beyond me.

      There’s supposed to be international law that restrains nations when they go to war. Instead, Israel is butchering children by the thousands.
