    For every Israeli child that dies dozens of Palestinians do. One side has wealth and control of the narrative on an international level. I’m sure if Palestinians would get a lot more stories about all the bodies of the dead children if Israel didn’t have an iron grip on Gazas borders and allowed journalists near the ditches they stack the bodies up in.

      Hamas, if it was a grownup organization, would have built bomb shelters for the innocent civilians it governs. Instead, it stockpiles arms among civilian buildings, and has it’s own tunnels for safety and benefit of its well-armed, well-off people- not the Palestinians. It left the Palestinians out to dry- not letting them know it was attacking, then receding back to the safety of their tunnels while their stockpiles in civilian buildings got blown up with all the poor people. It’s using them as a human shield.

      Terrorist orgs and warlords never give a fuck about their populace. They serve to only enrich themselves and their allies.

        Yes, the poor people with very limited resources should of built better infrastructure. A classic and well thought out argument.

        Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. I don’t think anyone here is saying otherwise, and I assume that’s a truth you fully agree with.

        So we all agree, they’re evil. How does that excuse the killing of Palestinian civilians? It would be great if the terrorists thought about the good of their fellow man, but we’ve all recognized that they’re bad guys, so it’s pretty expected they’re not going to do what’s good for their people, but that doesn’t change that a bunch of people who are not Hamas are currently being killed by Israel.
