    Man, why can’t Israel just be the normal, good guy in this. They’re just as bad as the other side.

        Certainly not for the lack of trying. It’s just that the iron dome is protecting those hospitals on Israel’s side. It shoots down dozens if not hundreds of rockets shot by Hamas daily, some sources say 7000+ since October 7th, which are aimed at who knows what kind of targets.

        Just because Israel is a (, not the,) bad guy in this war doesn’t mean Hamas are any less evil.

          I’m not trying to say Hamas is not evil, but equating the terrorist attacks on October 7th with IDF’s intentional bombing of hospitals, schools, killing 4000 children doesn’t, and shouldn’t be sound mathemathics in my mind. If we do, we are not far from the people who let the Holocaust happen.

            Can we please not use math to argue who is allowed to murder how many innocents on either side? There is no “but” here, every innocent life taken in this conflict is one too much, on both sides. This conflict has evil, different brand of evil, and innocents caught in the middle between.

            Well that’s assuming you’re taking Hamas’ numbers at face value, the same group that claimed a misfired rocket that couldn’t have killed more than ten people killed “500.”

            So yeah, if you’re just dumb enough to believe a terrorist group has that accurate of census data, that’s on you.

        At least 1 5 times already since the war started. Look up Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon.

        well how many music festivals did the Israelis ride into indiscriminately killing civilians? we could do this all day, enough with your blatant attempt to paint one side as saints while the other is evil.

        both of them are the devil and innocent civilians on BOTH sides are paying the price for the bloodthirsty maniacs on BOTH sides

          I think most people would not equate hospitals with music festivals. I hope you don’t either.

          They can’t even have festivals when they live in an apartheid regime, under an open-air prison controlled by the other party. Equating this as an equal conflict is unfair and an unjust representation of reality.

              Very good argument my man. A hospital contains newborns, sick and injured people, in addition to medical staff who provides care for these people. If you think that is the same as a music festival, I would maybe make a visit to both types of establishments if you need to understand.

          Religion is the real devil, that’s the root of this bullshit. Not that people haven’t committed atrocities for other reasons, but religious fundamentalism is the most common source of this kind of horror and that will exist wherever religious adherents have the numbers to obtain political sway.

      Because that approach was what lead to the current war and the largest massacre in Israel’s history.

      It saddens me. They’re the last people you’d think would do this. If they can be fascist, anyone can.
