That’s because of the war though. And dual use. Border controls. Like, if Hamas could get whatever it wanted into Gaza, the ratio would be 1 to 45. I agree the ratio is appalling as is, especially all the kids. Hamas should stop hiding under everyone’s cities, actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture. Maybe Gaza would have more of a future.

Quit justifying genocide

If Hamas surrenders the war ends. It has nothing to do with anyone’s genes. It has to do with Hamas packing kids into tiny rooms above tunnel shafts and then refusing to let them evacuate, or worse, convincing them that it’s good to be a Martyr.™

You’re so right and smart. On that note it’s weird that nobody wants the US to bomb their own schools when an active shooter is holding up there.

Level the whole school. That will prevent future shooters.

Then why do Palestinians get attacked in the West Bank?

Oh don’t be so childish. Hamas is a vaguely defined terrorist organisation.

There is no scenario in which Israel goes “all right Hamas decided to surrender, we got these known leaders here, so we’re sure there’s no more Hamas anywhere and we will now leave the Palestinians alone, as this was definitely never a flimsy excuse for a genocide to make lebensraum for Israeli settlers”.

Whatever Hamas does, Israel will keep up the killing and fighting and landgrabbing. You’d have to be extremely naive to think otherwise.

You’re saying Israel is the “bigger person” for basically shooting through human shields?

The war ends and it goes back to apartheid, of religion and homeland, no genes required. And what evidence is there of what you’re claiming?

DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL TO BACK UP THE CLAIM OF HAMAS “PACKING” KIDS INTO SMALL ROOMS ABOVE TUNNELS?

because it’s yet another example of an extremely dumb claim resting on an extremely unlikely piece of informatio

But if course you will ignore this request because you can easily just ignore anything from me 😁😊😊

So, you’re saying that the IDF is a terrorist organization similar to Hamas?

Well Israel is killing them as well . Israel will not tolerate any leader who advocates for a free Palestine. Look at the West Bank and how far fatah’s collaboration has gotten them, slowly being pushed out by terrorist settlers. This is why Palestine has no future, Israel forbids it. If you peacefully protest you get shot in the leg , if you use violence then that violence is brought back on you 50 fold. Anyone who thinks Hamas just needs to play nice doesn’t grasp the full historic context.

Gaza has been a shithole long before Hamas existed because Israel is doing the same shit since over half a century. The only future they can look forward to is staying an open-air prison. There will be no two-state solution, Israel does not want that.

I am yet to see any army as immoral and as bloodthirsty as the IDF. Hamss fucking suck but even they wouldn’t literally kill this many civilians whether they can or can’t. Hezbollah could flip all tables on Israel and yet they don’t tend to kill a child every fucking minute. In the meantime Israel claims to have the best war tech but always kills 10 extra people because for them the best way to kill a Hamas fighters is not when he is in a tunnel, instead it’s when he is kissing his daughter goodnight. And in most of those cases, no Hamas fighters were killed.

What significant life event other than literally everything happening today would it take you to realize this?
