Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.
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.
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?
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?
But with your perfect army and perfect tech and perfect iron Dome, why not? They’re just animals and the hostages were dead the moment they crossed the border right? Right?
Unlike you, they’re not stupid. That’s why.
