    For all those people who like to say “HaMaS iS UsInG HuMan ShIelDs” why is bombing a hospital with civilians in it and killing civilians acceptable losses? If you need to completely scorch earth to kill 20-30 people then something is seriously wrong in strategy/equipment or personnel. Unless wiping out civilians is the point of the strategy.

        Does that mean Israel is justified in bombing thousands of children because a few militants may be among them?

          I believe the point they were making is that whatever excuses Israel comes up with to justify this massacre is just that: excuses.

            Yea the excuse is that if a single Hamas is potentially existent in Gaza that justifies the any and all civilian death.

            It amazes me how the Pro-Israel crowd doesn’t see how they have become the monster they ran from a few decades ago.

            PS:For the slow ones I mean they have become modern Nazis through their rhetoric and actions. I don’t even see how it is debatable at this point.

              Just like the Nazis, they see it but won’t admit it. That’s how shitty they are.

              Zionism is religious nationalism, so it’s no surprise Israel is full of right-wing nutjobs.

          Or just “suspected” to be among them, which is often not even true. I would recommend Breaking the Silence, it’s a group where ex IDF soldiers talk about their experiences. They have plenty materials on YouTube. After hearing what IDF teaches you and makes you do, I understand how these soldiers have dehumanized Palestinians in their eyes and are able to kill without consequences

      Would Israel take the same approach if Hamas was hiding in an Israeli hospital?

        There are cases where Israel just goes in to kill the hostages and the hostagers just the same. Hannibal detective and all that.

      The point is to degrade Palestinians. Somehow Israel seems to think this “works”
