Israel has killed one child every hour

Right, I don’t disagree with some of the things you said. I can also see you’ll pick and choose for what you want to say and are not here to see any sense. They won’t surrender because there is nothing in sight for the future. No state. No rights. There’s no hope. Just refugee camps, displacement, loss of identity and kind of grounding.

So, if it’s so simple, answer it yourself and let us all know.

Presenting these questions as some sort counter argument to the annihilation of 18,000 children is a nonsense.The IDF and Israeli government have killed those kids in the most sadistic way. They have literally flown in creeps from Chicago the operate sniper drones on kids, like a game of fucking GTA.
Killing little girls dragging gallons of water in to dismal shelters. Killing little children getting supplements and playing. Leaving babies alone to die in a seized hospital. Raping inmates with metal poles until they die.
We could go on and on and on.
Thats the death cult.

And then when they have enough of killing civilians, they use their earnings to chill out with a trip to Europe, Japan and Australia - that’s why we’ve seen those countries revoke the tourist visas to touring IDF.

The key point is collective punishment is wrong and Israel needs to stop.

Israel has been slaughtering Palestinian children long before 7/10

Some independent researchers, including Dr. Gideon Polya and Professor Richard Hil, have said that the total number of deaths could be much higher than official reports indicate, claiming that the death toll in Gaza could be at least 680,000- 380,000 infants under 5 years of age and 99,000 children 5 or over.

While the exact figures are difficult to verify, the scale of the destruction and attacks on civilians makes it clear that Palestinian children have been disproportionately affected. Even if you dispute the highest estimates, the reality is undeniable and the fact that children make up such a large portion of casualties is devastating.

Children are dying simply because they exist in Gaza.

Claims that “Hamas endangers children” ignore that Palestinian civilians, including infants and toddlers, have no way to protect themselves from bombardment or starvation - and it is Israel bombing and starving them.

Whether the child toll is 20,000, 50,000, or 380,000 infants, the scale of devastation and the disproportionate impact on children is clear.

This should be demanding urgent international attention and the focus should be on preventing further deaths and addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis- not debating which side “deserves” sympathy.

Honestly are you serious? Gaza has had a sea embargo for decades, it has everything coming in and out of Gaza monitored - how are they going to build an iron dome when they can’t even import solar panels and who exactly will fund it. It doesn’t get billions and billions from the US like Israel? You can’t say it’s someone else's fault you killed thousands of children because “someone should have stopped us”. That is sociopathic.

Most countries don’t have an Iron Dome. I’m sure Israel wishes it didn’t need one.

Yes, I am serious. Hamas managed to build all those tunnels and amass wealth for themselves. It’s not Israel’s fault they did that instead of improving life for people in Gaza. If Hamas didn’t insist on bringing in weapons to achieve their goal of destroying Israel, the embargoes would not be necessary.

A quick look at Wikipedia tells me that Palestinians (so not just Gaza but including Gaza) received more than $40 billion in aid between 1994 and 2020. Hamas gets a share of $100 million annually from Iran, along with other Palestinian groups. Some aid is provided by the US and some facilitated by the US via Qatar. So they do get quite a lot of aid, as well as other income. And they could spend it making their citizens’ lives better. But they don’t.

If Hamas didn’t insist on bringing in weapons to achieve their goal of destroying Israel, the embargoes would not be necessary.

This bears repeating. People seem to think Israel has done this for fun but this is the bottom line. Despite withdrawing from Gaza they could not be expected to leave themselves entirely vulnerable. But the Palestinian people could have made entirely diffetent choices.

@SharonEllis you have been around long enough to know that Israel did not fully withdraw from Gaza and made life infinitely more difficult for the residents there through restrictions a system of permits, unlawful detentions and a.blockade on air and sea.

Does that justify violence and death? No.
but if there is to be any hope in moving forward there has to be an acknowledgement of the wrongs of both sides and the reasons why Israel are vulnerable were not simply idealogical but rooted as well in day to day hardships.

They couldn't leave themselves entirely exposed to people who want to destroy them. Why is this so hard to understand? I dont think there was anything wrong with blockading to stop Hamas importing weapons. Nor do I think controlling Palestinians moving in and out is wrong - every country does it in some shape or form.

And to add the day to day hardships of the Palestinian people lie at the door of their government that could have made entirely different choices when Israel withdrew. They didnt. They continued to radicalise their society, cripple them with taxes and corruption and to gear their infrastructure towards attacking Israel.

But it's back to the circular argument. Israel's actions in Gaza led to the rise of the new generations of terrorists.

Israel banned pasta at one stage from entering also chocolate, wheelchairs, hearing aid batteries, ginger and crayons.
Permits to study, build, fish etc

A life of curfews, checkpoints and road blockades.

Do you really not accept that Israels actions in Gaza went beyond keeping themselves safe and were there to control a population?

Palestinians would have made entirely different choices if they were left on their land and in their homes INSTEAD of creating Israel.

Is this what they call ‘saying the quiet part out loud’?

I think it is!

Second this, its well worth a watch

Oh stop FFS

Because the IDF are killing them, not Hamas, obviously

I’m struggling to see your point here, but adding up the maths it seems like your point is that the lives of Palestinian children are irrelevant except as an opportunity to score points against an aid agency with? Which = reprehensible

It’s very difficult to take Israel’s ‘security threats’ seriously when they are:
a nuclear power
armed to the teeth by America and much of Europe including us
frequently in flagrant breach of international law with no consequences and
bombing all of their neighbours with alarming regularity

I imagine there must be a reason why there are multiple private and public safe rooms (redesigned since 7/10) , iron shield missile defence system and now a laser guided drone defence system.

In my opinion Israel are the security threat.

It's like the playground bully that keeps poking and poking another child then runs to teacher when they hit back.

So that what Israel is doing to everyone else can’t be done to them presumably.

While I completely sympathise with the situation in Gaza , I feel very very sad for all the men , women & children who were killed and the hostages who were detained by the despicable Hamas in the initial attack in Israel .
