Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

No, I wish people like you spreading hate would stop ignoring the inconvenient facts instead of focusing purely at the numbers.

Oh those inconvenient facts that make Israel look an awful lot like the monsters they ran from a few decades ago... we seem to not be ignoring them very much, dunno what you are talking about.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm talking about inconvenient facts like Hamas hiding an entire compound under a hospital. How Israel is sending out warnings in 5 different ways before striking any target. How Hamas has been firing rockets at Israel civilian centers constantly. How Hamas has all these supplies stored up, yet people are starving. How truck after truck of aid, building supplies, and life necessities go into Gaza, yet mysteriously nothing gets better there.

No, none of that is ever mentioned. Instead you hear people parroting how Israel is "carpet bombing" Gaza, targeting civilians, and "trying to genocide Palestinians". Under the same breathe they wonder why the Israeli government ignores them after hearing this bullshit.

Perhaps it is because all we have heard for decades is the MSM parroting that Israel is the only victim here and how evil the Palestinians are. The Pro-Israel crowd is just a little surprised because there isn't blind support of their talking points and instead other facts are now being talked about that don't align with their propaganda.

Btw Israel isn't just trying to genocide the palestinians they are doing a pretty good job over the last 3 weeks. https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/middleeast/satellite-images-gaza-destruction/index.html

Yep sure looks targeted and not like they are just demolishing whole communities. Get the fuck outta here with your bullshit.
