    Genuine question to all Palestinian sympathizers: don’t you see how you encourage Hamas to bring even more kids to the active war zone with your comments and protests?

      It’s more like “hey, that neighborhood full of families and shopkeepers has some gang members in it. Let’s bomb it all.” Hamas isn’t “bringing in kids”. They’re resistance fighters who live in the same area, which is roughly the size of Los Angeles. And in the minds of Hamas, they’re fighting for those children to have a right to that land in their future. To have a right to grow up free and unoppressed. Those children aren’t “shields” and they weren’t brought there. They were born there and are now being indiscriminately bombed as an excuse to make Hamas look bad. Where’s Mossad? Where’s Israeli special forces? Israel likes to talk a big game about their abilities, but in this conflict, “rain missiles from the sky and blame the victims for being in the way” seems to be their only tool.

      You realize Israel even bombed evacuation routes, right? Told people “it’s safe to leave this way” and then bombed the caravans leaving. You can’t even leave without getting bombed, and you think they’re just importing children in?

      What are you smoking? I want some.

        In this video by channel 4, they briefly mentioned the story of a wounded boy, who got the permission to get through the Rafah crossing. His Palestinian father didn’t let him go, because the father himself didn’t get such permission. This is how they care about their children.

          You must feel very good about yourself blaming civilians for being murdered by Israelis.

            I blame Hamas, and Hamas only.

            According to felony-murder rule all responsibility for civilian casualties lays on Hamas. This rule might seem unfair to some, but in US it is used widely.

      Genuine question, do you have access to multiple sources of news and the internet. Active war?!? You don’t seem to know much about the conflict and the root cause do you?

      Genuine question: do you actually think that anything that happens in this obscure part of the internet has any repercussion whatsoever in the real world?

        Whatever happens in any part of the internet involves people, and people are part of the real world. So yes, it does influence the real world.
