The state of Gaza’s hospitals: Surgeries without anesthesia and with only mobile phones for light. Vinegar from the corner store as disinfectant. 5,000 patients in a hospital built for 700, some sleeping on the floor. No power, no clean water, little fuel.

      Hamas is the government of the Gaza Strip. They declared war. The Gaza Strip is now a war zone because the people in charge started a war.

          The most uninformed and biased parroting can be found by people keep grouping both the West Bank and Gaza together under “Palestine”. That’s when you know they don’t have enough knowledge of the region or conflict to contribute anything meaningful to the conversation beyond parroting the words of hate groups and terrorists.

        A regime is not the people around them. Should your house be bombed because your asshole neighbor did a terrorist attack?

            More simplified than drawing a circle around an entire people, calling it “Hamas” and then casting judgment?

                Then we agree. Israel should spare the civilians of Gaza. Instead of indiscriminate bombings of hospitals and critical infrastructure

                  well they should try to avoid civilian casualties at all costs but I also understand the need of attacking critical infrastructure of the Hamas, which is very hard because the Hamas is using its citizens as meatshields…they are also committing war crimes by doing that if you ask me.

                  So no, I have no “good or easy” solution for you. This war is fucked up beyond any recognition…for all parties involved!
