That's because of the war though. And dual use. Border controls. Like, if Hamas could get whatever it wanted into Gaza, the ratio would be 1 to 45. I agree the ratio is appalling as is, especially all the kids. Hamas should stop hiding under everyone's cities, actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture. Maybe Gaza would have more of a future.
Quit justifying genocide
If Hamas surrenders the war ends. It has nothing to do with anyone's genes. It has to do with Hamas packing kids into tiny rooms above tunnel shafts and then refusing to let them evacuate, or worse, convincing them that it's good to be a Martyr.™
Then why do Palestinians get attacked in the West Bank?
West Bank has Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, and IJ as well. They launch terror attacks from the West Bank. Take your pick of pan Islamists far right radicals who literally want to genocide every non Muslim in the middle east and "restore Islam to its rightful place in the world."
They get attacked because they choose international terrorism instead of literally anything else.
Sure it does. But the biggest terrorists are those disgusting genocidal Zionists, stealing homes and lives like a bunch of fuckin savages. Fuck them and fuck you, you genocide supporter.
Just this morning Israel is apparently surrounding a hospital with all the patients inside... in Jenin. Totally "acceptable" of the "oNlY dEmOcRaCy iN tHe MidDle EasT".
It's like, "oh yeah we love killing Palestinians but those are the orders we get from our democratically elect government 😉 if you forget all the Palestinians with absolutely no rights"
DO YOU HAVE ANY EVIDENCE AT ALL TO BACK UP THE CLAIM OF HAMAS "PACKING" KIDS INTO SMALL ROOMS ABOVE TUNNELS?
because it's yet another example of an extremely dumb claim resting on an extremely unlikely piece of informatio
But if course you will ignore this request because you can easily just ignore anything from me 😁😊😊
Well Israel is killing them as well . Israel will not tolerate any leader who advocates for a free Palestine. Look at the West Bank and how far fatah's collaboration has gotten them, slowly being pushed out by terrorist settlers. This is why Palestine has no future, Israel forbids it. If you peacefully protest you get shot in the leg , if you use violence then that violence is brought back on you 50 fold. Anyone who thinks Hamas just needs to play nice doesn't grasp the full historic context.
I am yet to see any army as immoral and as bloodthirsty as the IDF. Hamss fucking suck but even they wouldn't literally kill this many civilians whether they can or can't. Hezbollah could flip all tables on Israel and yet they don't tend to kill a child every fucking minute. In the meantime Israel claims to have the best war tech but always kills 10 extra people because for them the best way to kill a Hamas fighters is not when he is in a tunnel, instead it's when he is kissing his daughter goodnight. And in most of those cases, no Hamas fighters were killed.
What significant life event other than literally everything happening today would it take you to realize this?
