I, for one, support this bombing.
Those dead children didn't condemn Hamas enough before they bled to death.
Or, you know, Hamas could stop hiding in civilian populations. Or even better they could release the remaining hostages and surrender. All deaths here are solely their responsibility.
Hamas could stop hiding in civilian populations.
Is there anything you fools don't gobble up and repeat like a mantra? Do you question anything you hear at all?
Say the people who get their news from Al Jazeera. A Qatari state-owned outlet.
Did you seriously just claim there are no tunnels below civilians' or public property?

Surrender and do what? Get genocided like the West Bank?
There is no genocide in the West Bank. What the fuck.
The literal policy of the current ruling coalition in Isreal is to ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of the West Bank with Jewish settlers.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
High. If there were still any alive. I suspect as a hostage I would prefer a quick death to more weeks or months of Hamas „hospitality“. We have seen what those animals do to people.
Well, the two elderly ladies that were released said that they were treated very humanely. https://www.cbsnews.com/...
Don't know if that goes for all the hostages, but it paints another picture than your assumptions.
The only animals in this picture are the Israeli fascists who refuse to stop killing innocent people in the name of self defense.
This is correct... If there are any Palestinians left after this they will all collectively be safer once HAMAS is eradicated.
And despite all of this, the Palestinians are still safer in Israel than they would be in Jordan or Egypt who would have every man, woman, and child seeking refuge shot at the borders.
How dumb do you need to be to think that this is about Hamas? Tell me, how long did you fall for the weapons of mass destruction excuse in Iraq?
Well actually it's HAMAS... And you should research the al muthanna chemical weapons facility.
Nobody wants Palestinians to die. They are in an impossible situation. But HAMAS has to be destroyed.
I don't understand what you are missing here.
That was the Israelis, telling them to leave, then bombing them as they left.
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.
There is literally nothing that can justify your support of killing kids. It can be that simplistic.
~1000 Israelis killed since the beginning of the conflict vs 4108 Palestinian Children and 10022 Palestinians total.

Couldn't find a single report about Israeli kids killed by Palestinians in 2023.
Waiting to see how the "the price of war" crowd is going to justify this one.

You know that bombing schools and hospitals is STILL a heinous war crime even IF (gigantic if) it's true that Hamas is hiding under every single one of them like you genocide apologists keep claiming, right?
Both sides here 100% want to genocide the other. They will both continue to try to do so, they're leadership has said exactly that. Is it just to blame Israel just for winning?
Massacring civilians to accomplish nothing except temporarily sating blood lust isn't winning. Not when Hamas does it and not when Israeli forces do it.
Besides, it's not like Hamas has anything near a thousandth of the military power that Israel does. As the stronger of the parties and the ones who make all the rules, they bear the majority of the responsibility and thus the majority of the blame.
They are taking that responsibility, and using it to ensure a permanent end to the conflict. It's the same thing Palestine would do if they could.
The war crime is hiding there in the first place.
No. Even IF that's true (again, enormous if), the war crime is definitely the bombing of civilians, not hiding from people who want to kill you. I'm not saying that the Hamas aren't heinous terrorists, but that doesn't excuse the wholesale slaughter of innocents.
Especially since it only INCREASES hostilities, leading to more civilian deaths on both sides of the border.
Um, you're wrong, it's known as Perfidy and is a violation of Protocol 1 Article 37 of the Geneva Convention
- It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy:
(a) The feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender;
(b) The feigning of an incapacitation by wounds or sickness;
(c) The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status; and
(d) The feigning of protected status by the use of signs, emblems or uniforms of the United Nations or of neutral or other States not Parties to the conflict.
Hiding isn't a war crime. Trying to blend in with a civilian population while you're an active combatant, however, is. Precisely because it makes strikes with mass civilian casualties a military necessity.
Two things can be war crimes.

US never did anything when Israel bombed the USS Liberty (oh and also dropped napalm, torpedos and killed 34 US sailors and destroyed the most advanced naval vessel at the time). So why would anyone stop Israel from bombing a UN run refugee school?
