Do you know how many Americans the US government kills in the US? Why would they give a shit about one more far away?

Lol.

The US is under attack, but they're attacking the minds of the population.

Unfortunately the population doesn't seem to care, or worse.

The sentencing will definitely happen, it's a state level case and he's already been found guilty. There's nothing almost anyone can do to stop the process from continuing at this point.

What two things?

You were trying to say that Hamas could not set up outside of residential buildings by saying the area is too dense with people for that to be possible.

It's not. It's not even close to too dense for that.

Go look at the Satellite maps of Gaza, there's tons of space they could set up if they didn't want to risk civilians. Literally half of gaza is farm fields.

UNOSAT analysis shows that the agricultural extent in the Gaza Strip is estimated to be 178 sq. km, accounting for approximately 49% of the total area of Gaza, following an extensive land cover analysis.

Nah, the kids are rarely intentional when you're that stupid.

You're so poorly travelled that you simply don't understand how poorly developed the US is when it comes to cities and density.

Metro LA is the 57th largest city in the world, but the 72nd most dense city in the top 80 cities by population in the entire world.

At the end of the day, you were the one that asserted that Gaza was one of the most dense places in the world, and I gave evidence proving it isn't even close to the most dense places in the world. Now you're trying to play off your error like this is about LA being dense or not.

Your own quotes say that there are comparable third world countries with over 4x the density of Gaza City. So your statement that it's one of the densest areas in the world is clearly wrong. It's not even in top 100 most dense cities in the world.

Also, if you think LA is dense, you are the one that's dense. You've clearly never travelled outside North America. LA is textbook urban sprawl.

They keep repeating it because it's true.

Most densely populated areas on the planet? No... not even close.

The Gaza strip is around 6000 people per square kilometer and only 360 square kilometers, that puts it 5th in the world in terms of population density for entire countries. However, 6000 people per square kilometer is not dense for such a small area. Kolkatta in India is 306 square kilometers, and 29000 people per square kilometer. Bogata in Columbia is the same. Even major cities like Metro Paris is 4000 people per square kilometer and around 700 square kilometers in size.

There's a difference between "around civilians" and literally storing weapons and living in residential apartment buildings and residential homes. There are absolutely places in Gaza that are open space where they could set up. Go look at a satellite map of the Gaza strip, there's farm land, there's industrial zones, there's small chunks of just nothing. Hamas is actively choosing to setup in residential areas because it's part of the "Guerilla Warfare 101" handbook.

You really doubt that Hamas said this? The IDF can be bad, and still correct at the same time.

Hamas clearly do not care about civilian casualties or they wouldn't be literally using them as human shields, storing their weapons in civilian locations and housing their militants in civilian buildings.

His job is to govern, not run for election. Politics usually refers more the latter than the former.

No, you have to be not stupid and realize they are sneaky little fuckers.

It's not like most gun safes are just sitting out in the kitchen or living room, especially in a household with kids. So kick them out of your bedroom and close the door while you're retrieving the firearms so they can't see the combination.

Also biometric safes are pretty common these days, then you can keep the backup physical key in a safe deposit box at the bank or even with a friend.
