Sometimes I do wish to see what would the death and destruction look like if Israel actually did not care about civilians and did all the things people here describe them doing. Luckily that will never happen, and Israel will continue to care about the safety of their own citizens, as well as the safety of the Palestinians Hamas is hiding behind to a much greater degree than Hamas ever cared for a human soul.
Sorry, but Israel had the support of the entire world, even Muslims, and lost it within a week. Nobody to blame but themselves. They thought it was a blank cheque to just start killing anything and everything that moves.
If Israel cares so much, just go into the tunnels and fight your real enemies, you know where they are. Nope, they're just cowards at this point.
Oh yes, just send soldiers into the cramped enemy spaces. Sounds like a genius tactical maneuver.
Is killing thousands of children a genius tactical maneuver?
Ask Hamas hiding behind these children. They're perfectly okay with it.
Yeah, but they didn't bomb the children. That's why people hide behind children, so that you won't bomb them. If they know that conventional empathy is no longer effective as deterrence, wouldn't they probably not be hiding behind children anymore? Couldn't you just be killing children at this point and its just children?
That's why Hamas is making sure civilians can't leave the strike areas. They need to maximize the dead for their own propaganda.
Do you have evidence of this? If this is true then why even give evacuation orders?
They were hiding behind over three thousand children? That's the argument youre going to make? And Israel still hasn't gotten all of Hamas? Is Hamas just hiding under piles of children? How the fuck do you look at over 3,000 corpses of children and claim that a significant majority were actually just obscuring Hamas members, you fucking nutjob?
