Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

    let me ask you the same thing, what is your opinion on the bombing of German Cities in WW2? the firebombing and nuking in Japan?

    are you going to call the entente and later allied powers on the level of Hamas?

      Killing civilians is never right, it wasn’t back then, and it isn’t right now. But the big difference is that Hamas’ primary goal is to murder as many innocents as possible, not to win a war. That is why they are not on the same level.

      Man conversations with you must take forever if your expectation is that all bad things ever need to be stated!

        well, no, what I’m pointing out is that: Civilian casualties happen in war, it’s just odd that we tend to value these civilians differently based on who we feel they are affiliated with, so if you can’t stand Hamas killing civilians, why can you stand Israel kill 3 times as many? why could you stand Allied forces doing it?
