    If you’re going to troll, pretending to be an ass to get people to be pro Hamas, you need to mix up your comments a bit. Otherwise it becomes too obvious.

    You’re welcome.

      What a simplistic little view of the world. It would fit nicely for a 15yo, but anyone older than 20 should understand that war is not football. You don’t just pick a team, consider them the saviours of the world and demonize the others.

      Especially not in a conflict as complicated as this one.

      Not everyone who thinks that killing children en masse isn’t exactly great is pro Hamas.

      Multiple things can be true at the same time:

      • Hamas is a terror organisation that kills civilians
      • The Israeli government is killing thousands of civilians, people in the government are openly advocating for dropping nuclear bombs on Gaza and Netanjahu has used scripture to advocate for killing all Palestinians, including children. They are currently starving 2 million civilians down there.
      • Most Palestinians and Israelis are civilians who mostly just want to live their lives without getting murdered.

            Oh, well that justifies being okay with children death. As long as the scales balance, then it’s fine. Right?

            If you truly cannot have empathy for literal children just because they’re on the opposing side of a conflict, then you have forgone your humanity. You are a part of the species that we really need to leave behind, if we’re ever to prevent future, ridiculous, conflicts like this.

              I think you misstook me. Please read my comment two up.

              Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government are justified. They are both monsters that would erradicate the other side if they wheren’t held by their DIY weapons and the international community respectively.

              If Israel wouldn’t care about their position in geopolitics, they’d have nuked Gaza a long time ago, and the West Bank as well.

              If Hamas had access to better weapons than glorified fireworks, guns from the 50s and diggers, they would have also erradicated Israel by now.

              And no, one party’s violence does never justify attacking civilians and among them children.

              The people caught in the cross fire are civilians and among them very many children.

                Oh, sorry, I thought you were three original idiot I replied to say the start. The one that said he was fine with kids dying because they didn’t protest enough.

                  That makes sense then. I think/hope, the comment you referred to was sarcasm. But you never know, some people write crazy stuff like that unironically.

            The source for that figure is Hamas, essentially. It could be correct, but it also could be complete bullshit for obvious reasons.
