      no it doesn’t. it literally does not matter for this conversation. unless you have any evidence that she’s part of Hamas. just like Israel’s point doesn’t matter unless she was the Palestinian who killed the Israelis in the '76 Olympics.

      It’s far, far less than Israel has killed. Before Oct 7th, it was about ten to one Palestinians killed for every Israeli killed. Now it’s much much worse and getting worse everyday. Or does that not matter?

      Now, can we say Hamas is bad? Of course we can, but by whatever metrics we use to call out Hamas as being bad, Israel is at least ten times worse.

      You can’t bring in the amount of children Hamas has killed, and at the same time ignore that Is real has killed way more, and expect people to take you seriously. And if you want to try to play the “who shot first” game, that was also Israel, forcing its way into the land that they now occupy. And every square inch they have invaded since.

      It matters, but for Israel to object to the presence of a Palestinian on the grounds that others of her genetic stock killed some of theirs is both nonsensical (she can’t be held responsible for the actions of others just because they share a skin tone) and hypocritical (because they are currently engaged in the same activity, on a greater scale). I won’t be taking further questions.

      Considering that the death toll is always between 100:1 and 1000:1 and has been since 1967, no it doesn’t. Israel doesn’t do proportional responses. I used to support Israel as an idea and a country, but they just keep being racist fascist assholes.

      Seeing the Israeli response to Hamas just makes me feel that Israel was a mistake that should be corrected. Palestine can have the entire country, and call it a day.

      Before Israel was created, the Jewish peoples had already adopted a country as their new Zion. It’s called the US. They can come back home, and stop stealing other people’s homes.
