    If concessions can not be made to save these lives even with the entire world watching, then I do not want to hear falsehoods about caring for human rights.

      I’ve been very cautious to reserve the word “Genocide” because I didn’t want to devalue it with hyperbole. For years, I’ve said that Israel is ethnically cleansing historic Palestine. But reading this article… I think this is the point where it becomes genocide, full and proper.

      It’s shocking to bear witness to.

      A good way to avoid that is to not illegally enter Israel and start firing rockets! Wake up!

          I agree, but pretending that doesnt happen in a literal warzone isnt realistic. Get the fuck away!

          If a literal war broke out a couple neighborhoods from you, would you stay because all your shit was there, and keep your family with you, or take off and worry about the rest later, because anything is literally better and safer than being there? Common fucking sense. Somebody living in Gaza 1000% knew what was coming, that area has been fucked since before they were born.

            Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.

            And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.

              Anything is safer than a warzone, and limited food and water is still better than being bombed. Has nothing to do with compassion, its reality.

              And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.

              Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?

                Someone else committing war crimes does not make it okay for you to do war crimes.

                Both Hamas and Israel are doing war crimes and should be punished for it.

                There isn’t anywhere safe in Gaza right now.

                Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?

                We aren’t talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn’t ok?

                  There’s no separating the two. What happening in Gaza is a direct result of what THEY did to Israel. You don’t get to illegally cross a border, fire rockets, kill people, then cry when there’s retaliation. Not how any country on the planet works. Welcome to reality.

                    Of course, you could think about why Hamas did what they did, but that might hurt your brain too much.

                  The logic of defending yourself against an invader firing rockets inside your country? OK! Good luck finding a country that tolerates that.

            So as long as something happens in reality, no one should condemn it? Interesting logic.

              Funny, I was thinking it was interesting logic to defend peolple who’s goal in life is genocide of all Jews. Just like they want you to do. Good job being a sucker.

        Civilian Palestinians did not do any of those things. Thise were the acts of Hamas, not Palestinian children.
