Here's the thing - Hamas isn't actively killing Israeli civilians anymore. You can argue that if we don't fully wipe Hamas they will in the future, but right now, almost exclusively Gaza civilians are being killed. That ratio isn't 45:1 today, it's closer to 4500:1.

I imagine most are dead or hiding, so yeah. I'm not really sure who they think they're killing if not civilians.
I mean, technically correct. Just one side has SIGNIFICANTLY MORE casualties
What an asshole
The civilian:soldier death ratio is unacceptable for both sides.
But Biden is giving weapons to one side.
How does Bernie, a Jewish man, see what Israel is doing but our dumbass president can't? Oh yeah, money.
$11m in AIPAC money buys a lot of blinders.
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 😁😊😊
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?
actual leaders should step forward and reject martyrdom culture
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.
Even fucking now. Jfc, thank goodness his age caught up to him. And i hope Harris has some sense
Shes gonna be more hawkish than Biden has been
That's only if you believe Hamas and not the IDF.
Do you see the bias there?
Name an instance where "Hamas" numbers (a misnomer for the Gazan Ministry of Health) vastly differed from independent investigations.
How about when Hamas shot that hospital with a rocket and blamed the IDF?
That is not even relevant to what I wrote. But okay.
40 decapitated babies.
Was Hamas? Where did you read that it was the IDF?
