      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.

      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.
