Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

After Hamas' actions on the 7th I don't see Israel stepping back. Their previous attempts at curtailing Hamas were already under criticism for not going far enough, and that was before the largest attack in decades had occurred

A couple of videos I watched on the subject seem to clearly point at Israel being the aggressor. The existence of Hamas was directly caused by persistent aggression from the Isreali government.

Fantastic Videos, and yes Israel has given more than enough cause for Palestinians to act against them. But none of them excuse the crimes that Hamas have committed both on Oct 7th and in the past as well

Idk, I think decades of serious suffering, oppression, and the looming threat of the annihilation of your people seems like just about as much justification as one could have. I feel like, to say otherwise is to tell the palestinians to shut up and take their genocide with a smile. Peace negotiations have and will get them nowhere, violence, as extreme as they can muster, is the only option they have left. Yet, it pales in comparison to what can be done back to them, and without intervention the state of palestine and its people will cease to be.

Hamas aren't doing it for the Palestinian people, they aren't the Palestinian liberators. Just tools to be used by aggressive Islamic nations like Iran to attack a Jewish state. Doesn't mean Palestinians aren't going Hamas in order to do such a thing but they then just become pawns in a conflict between two very right wing, authoritarian, theocratic sides.

yes genocide as a response to genocide is the only solution /s

Is that really how you read my comment, and the situation? Hamas couldn't genocide shit, even if they wanted to. These countries, these people, are not on even ground. And if Hamas didn't do something extreme, we wouldn't be talking about it, no one would give a shit, and they'd go quietly into the history books like so many before them.

You are not a psychic, you can make any prediction you want but it will never achieve clairvoyance

Mass violence is NEVER a counter to mass violence

Was nothing learned from the non-violence movements?

The people of Gaza tried to protest in a non violent march in 2018. The IDF responded by shooting thousands of civilians including women, children, and journalists.

non violent march in 2018 "Most of the demonstrators demonstrated peacefully far from the border fence.. Nevertheless, groups consisting mainly of young men approached the fence and committed acts of violence directed towards the Israeli side" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_protests)

And they will need to keep approaching Nonviolence. It is the only solution that is viable for a long lasting peace

Apartheid is maintained through violence. If you want a non-violent solution to the conflict then Israel has to stop violently enforcing its apartheid system. Palestinians have no say in that decision.

We don’t even need a counterfactual to prove it. Gaza without Hamas would just be the West Bank. People in the West Bank are still suffering under the violence of Israeli occupation and have been for decades.

You don't know I'm not psychic.

There you go equating again.

Sometimes nonviolence works, but not always. Sometimes it works in spectacular ways, like the oppressed vanish and then there is no more oppression. Nonviolent movements have existed and had grown quite large in palestine, yet here we are.

Edit: I will say, this sounds nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMAtiNHuJlo

Quietly into the history books, as the world's first country of Palestine

The actual looming threat that Hamas attacked over was the PA enacting a two-state solution with Israel.

Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians at all

Fuck off.

Netanyahu said “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. 1 Samuel 15:3 ‘Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass’," .

You keep quacking like a nazi duck man...

You're dumb as fuck lol

That was some weak shit in answer to bibi declaring genocide. I'm not even gonna bother with a downvote for that lack of effort.

He says, unironically, on an article about 3000 dead children. Gross.
How many children do you think the critics will accept as enough? Or does that number not matter because they aren't Israeli children?

Its a war I don't know what the fuck you want

Literally the post we are on:

The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

I want them to stop the wholesale slaughter of kids. This barbarism is not how a "just" war is conducted, and especially not a "defensive" one.

Stop reposting obvious Hamas lies.

To repeat what I said to your statement higher up:
A 100 year old charity whose goal is to save children from war is a terrorist group Hamas? Are you ok?

It's weird how they still class things as war crimes, despite everything being totally okay as you say.

The killing of kids is terrible

Israel's goal of Hamas' destruction makes it unavoidable

Without a change in Gaza further attacks from Hamas are unavoidable

And unless there is a government in Israel that stops the settlement and incursions of Radical Israelis in the west bank there will be no peace

There is no true and just change here at this time that fixes everything

Israel’s goal of Hamas’ destruction makes it unavoidable

"We did nothing to prevent the reckless deaths of twenty times the number of innocents and we're all out of ideas"

He says, unironically, on an article about as he justifies 3000 dead children. Gross.

He says, unironically as he justifies the beheading of children. Gross. /s

See how that sounds? Stop misappropriating people's character

Yeah, wheres the evidence of that? I know exactly just how it sounds. It sounds like a poor excuse for the murder 0f 3000 children. You do you though. I don't go around trying to soften mass child murder.

Legit the most sane person I saw on this platform.

Congrats on not being brainwashed.
