I'm with you here. The violence is of Israel's own making, but no matter how "just" one believes their actions are, they are still against international humanitarian law. I apply the same standard to everyone, be it Hamas, Israel, Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, China, United States, etc.
If you are willing to spill civilian blood, you also should be willing to take responsibility for those actions.
The term "civilian" has been actively stripped of all meaning when people willfully occupying native land and displacing the population as those natives are slaughtered are included.
I must’ve missed the part where the 30k civilians murdered killed anyone
You probably at least missed the part where they cheered for hamas and spat on the disfigured and raped bodies of their victims.
Am I supposed to be more or less disgusted if that was before/after they murdered 30,000 mostly women and children.
It's what gave Israel its pretext to retaliate so you tell me.
Your numbers are higher than even the hummus ones right now, unless you really believe that only 5k were soldiers
Agreed.
The last check I did sat right around 35000.
I don’t think any of us believe they have only gotten 5k soldiers.
