“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.
“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”

The war has been going on since long before October.
That's pretty clearly not true

7 October to present
You said there wasn't a outstanding conflict going on before October. "That's pretty clearly not true"
I provided you counter examples. Now you have evidence of the conflict activity before October.
Uhh, no. I said Hamas started this war. Which they did. On 7 Oct. Before then, there was no war. Now, there's war. Idk what you want
I want you to understand that there are people in this conflict that see a continuation of violence since 1948 and that the situation was not "at peace" before october
This guy's understanding of this conflict was clearly just what he gleaned from watching an hour of CNN last week. It's not worth the effort.
And I want you to see that the situation was relatively stable and peaceful on 6 Oct before Hamas started this war

In September 2023 alone there were 15 incidents in this conflict.
Roughly 34 people died in September due to fighting
Low level shit isn't a war
Whatever label you want to put on it, the conflict existed before October. It is a continuum of back and forth violence
Whatever label you want to put on it, there was a ceasefire in place and had been one for years.
I don't know what ceasefire you're referring to, I couldn't find any documentation for a ceasefire.
In 2023 there are multiple instances of Hamas launching rockets at Israel, Israeli soldiers killing Hamas, and Hamas killing Israeli soldiers. You can check the Wikipedia of the conflict for the details.
A ceasefire that allows for rocket attacks, and soldiers fighting, seems ineffective
Do you know Newton's third law? If you don't, make yourself a favour and google it
https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties 6K killed and 165K injured Palestinians in the span of 15 years. All before the 7.10.
That's an awfully large number for a "peace” don't you think?
If you insist.
