    Like anyone who has bothered to inform themselves even just a little, I’m fairly well aware of what Hamas is and the evil they represent.

    But I’d like to hear from you what number of children killed by Israel do you think is acceptable or “justified” because of what Hamas is and did?

      Every life lost is a tragedy. You’re asking the wrong question. The question you should be asking is why does Hamas use children as human Shields? Why does Hamas get a free pass on sending teenagers to their death holding firearms. If you’re as up to speed as you claim to be, then you’ve seen the videos coming out of their kindergarten classes where they’re being trained to kill Jews.

      Every child lost is blood on hamas’s hands. They started this war. They continue to claim that they will attack again and again. They are the ones responsible for the death and destruction that we’re all witnessing. Some might claim there is no such thing as a just war. I don’t necessarily agree with that. I do think that the Israelis are just in defending themselves against the existential threat openly admitted by Hamas.

        I have to be honest with you. This is the most nonsensical and reprehensible thing I’ve heard about this conflict yet.

        “Hamas has used innocent civilians as human shields so it’s ok for Israel to kill thousands of children”

        You disgust me.

          My favorite part of the argument is the IDF saying it’s terrible to use human shields then immediately start talking about the human shields they are using
