    Quick question. Are the 4 and 5 year Olds members of hamas? Even if you believe the adults should be wiped off the face of the earth do you believe the small children should be massacred by the tens of thousands like they are now. How about the unarmed people trying to get food from air drops getting gunned down. In my eyes Isreal is targeting unrelated civilians at an alarming rate. Hamas killed about 1000 people where as Isreal has killed near 40000 with most being unrelated civilians.

      The term “Palestinian child” is now an anti-semitic slur. Can you please use the term “small Hamas” in future?

      Just a clarification: There is no evidence that supports Hamas killing even a 1000 people on 10/7, as Israel refuses an investigation into the matter. At least several hundreds killed by Hamas were IDF terrorists, which are valid war targets. It is also known that Israel was shooting at civilians from helicopters, such as the IDF assault on the music festival. Without a proper investigation, it’s unknown what share of the deaths were actually caused by Hamas vs IDF.

        If 3,000 dead sends you into a blind murderous rage, but 35,000+ dead is a normal, acceptable “numbers game,” you’re not concerned about life, you’re just a genocidal racist.

        Shit if we are going by the he hit me first route then Isreal is still the bad guy. Oct 7 wasn’t the beginning of history for them and Isreal has been torturing and killing Palestinians for decades. It’s almost like hamas was formed because of the abuse being suffered for decades because isreal believes palistinians arent people, but that’s too much reading for a mouthbreather who uses the term woke rhetorics.

            Should probably take a class or two if you are having trouble reading. The tutor won’t judge you that much for being an adult and not knowing how to read.

                    Are you good bro. You asked a question and then said you don’t care about the answer. Why are you still here. I’m picturing you are either a teenager mewing alone in his bedroom thinking he’s the coolest person ever or a 50 year old that’s angry that people are upset children are getting murdered. Go pick a book and read it.

        Yikes. “If the mass shooter doesn’t care about killing innocent people, why should I feel bad about shooting up the neighborhood he lives in?”

        You need professional help. Not a joke or exaggeration.

        Because the Palestinian children had nothing to do with the killing of Israeli children? What you’re describing and explicitly trying to justify here is collective punishment of all of the two million Palestinians in Gaza (more than half of whom are children) for the crimes of (by Israel’s estimates) about 3,000 Hamas terrorists on 7 October.

        What you’re articulating constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Convention and that’s exactly why the ICC is getting involved.

        Let me try putting this another way. The population of the US state of Nebraska is about two million. Every year, there are about 6,000 violent crimes committed by Nebraskans. Should every Nebraskan be collectively punished for the crimes of those few thousand Nebraskans?

        So if the numbers don’t matter then Hamas killing just one child justifies Isreal killing tens of thousands of children?

        If the numbers were reversed and it was Hamas killing tens of thousands, would you be just as indifferent to the numbers?

        I think you don’t care about the numbers because it fits your world view of Israel is right and Hamas is wrong. Excessive killing by Isreal doesn’t matter because they’re right, but if it was excessive killing by Hamas (and 3000 is excessive under normal circumstance) matters because Hamas is wrong.
