Hamas has spent years stockpiling desperately needed fuel, food and medicine, as well as ammo and weapons, in the miles of tunnels it has carved out under Gaza.

If Hamas had operated strictly & solely against Israeli military units & installations on 10/7/23 and left civilians the hell alone, we wouldn't have to be here.

Hamas has never focused on military targets. Their founding charter specifically calls for the death of all Jews worldwide and forbids any conception of peace.

What you don't get is that most people are not justifying the brutal killing of 1400 Israeli people and kidnapping of 200.

We are just saying don't kill and punish civilians that had no say in this. Honestly at first I was on Israel's side, but now? Yeah you showed the world why there even IS a Hamas and how your bloodlust has no end.

Especially after the 'parking lot' comment and the harassment and killing of Palestinians on the West bank, oh I forgot about the 'if Israel was really targeting civilians why are there not more dead Palestinians than just 7000 and raising?

Just...quit. you're losing every minute you try to change the narrative. People went through years of this shit and nobody believes it anymore.

Who the fuck do you think you're replying to, troll?

How many civilians are you personally comfortable with dying, past those already dead. No “they’re in the way” bullshit. Give your conscience a number.

War is shitty, that's why it's used as a final option

Comfortable with? Zero. None of this is comfortable. Nobody is happy right now. It's not like 10/7, when people went around rejoicing in Jewish suffering—now that the war is on, everybody is upset.

I've yet to hear a serious alternative.
