Maybe Hamas should stop using civilian infrastructure for their terror attacks launch points? Hm? How about that?

"Look at all these children you made me maim and murder" isn't a valid position to take, assuming you're not a total fucking monster.

This is not just about the strikes, read the fucking article.

minors in the Palestinian territories have endured systematic violence for decades. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 1,434 Palestinian children have been killed between 2008 and August 31 of this year, with most deaths attributed to Israeli forces. The UN Office for Children and Armed Conflicts (CAAC) documented 1,679 cases of maimed minors between 2019 and 2022. Defense for Children International, citing UNICEF data, reported that 3,000 Palestinian children have been detained, interrogated, tried and imprisoned since 2000. A significant number of these minors (1,598 in the past decade) needed medical attention while under arrest, suggesting possible mistreatment.

There are cases of this even in the West bank. Should I copy the whole article for you?

The ability of kbin to add notes to users is quite useful. I realize how often the biggest inhuman barbarities are always said by the same scum.

How is saying "don't use human shields" inhumane?

The whole point OP used is coming across as justifying maiming children because Hamas did it first, that's inhumane.

That's also a cover for the IDF violence. Hamas bombed their own hospital, used children for cover, AND IDF bought the bait and bombs civilians. Kids as bait wins, every time, don't take the bait. People are smarter and better than that. Terrorist takes cover behind a child, they won the argument, hands down. No way we hurt kids. And that's not the philosophy observed
