More than 1,000 Palestinian children have been killed in the Israeli attacks on Gaza, and many are still missing under the rubble.

    This is sad, but the trauma is on both sides of the border.

    It’s easy to flaunt bodycounts as Israel is defending itself using Iron Dome to avoid most potential damage. Remember Hamas has lit the fuse on all of this on their October 7th attack. Hamas terrorists are hiding and acting from underneath hospitals and schools . Hamas has fired 7000 rockets towards Israeli cities on the first two weeks of the war and is continuing to do so still. At Israeli cities. Also, Hamas terrorists intentionally group their launches to make it difficult for iron dome to intercept large numbers of rockets fired simultaneously.

      Indiscriminate bombardment of civilians is NEVER “defending”… it’s just mass murder and terrorism. That is never acceptable under any circumstance.

        There is no indiscriminate bombing of civilians. If there was indiscriminate bombing of civilians, the Gaza Strip would be gone already - several times over. They could have carpet bombed the whole area and then destroyed the Hamas tunnels with bunker buster bombs.

        The ONLY party that gains something from dead civilians is Hamas.

      The people being killed aren’t associated with Hamas. How is Israel any better than a terrorist state? Please tell me how you can defend a country that allowed aide to be brought in to the Gaza strip, only to immediately bomb the bakery it was sent to. They’re fucking vile and shame on Biden for not calling out these atrocious war crimes.

    “Human animals must be treated as such. There will be no electricity and no water [in Gaza], there will only be destruction. You wanted hell, you will get hell.”

    How far the Israeli government has come, from being the oppressed to the oppressor, from the murdered to the murderer.

        I’m an atheist, and although I detest organized religions, I don’t think this is religion. This is about control and power, fascism. Religion is a tool and a red herring.

          While I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, religion is being used as a weapon the same way racism is used. Take groups who already don’t align because of prejudice, and light the fire. So while the people pulling strings may have a more sinister agenda, the people who are actually involved on the ground are seriously doing this because of religion, racism, and a long long history of taking an eye for an eye.

          This happens all over the world for various reasons. “Don’t let the baddies get in! Those people stole your land! Vote for me! Buy my product! Worship this god! Freedom!”
