You know, both sides can be bad. They're both led by bad people who do bad things and some good things. I've watched the Oct 10th attack videos. They're horrific. I've also watched the videos of civilian buildings in Palestine being have their roofs "knocked on" by a missile, followed shortly after by demolition by additional missiles.. And the Israeli solders dropping grenades on tents.. And the firsthand accounts of doctors talking of children and infants being shot through the head with sniper rounds.

Both country's governments are in the wrong and their civilians are suffering because of it.


And how do you know the building is actually civilian?

If Israel used a roof-knocker it's because they believed there was Hamas infrastructure or supplies in the building.

And there's something inherently wrong about a grenade on a tent? Do soldiers not use tents??

As for the firsthand accounts--all reporting from the ground in Gaza is highly suspect. But it doesn't matter anyway--yes, we have clear evidence of civilians killed by long range fire. We have *zero* evidence of the identity of the shooters.

Hits caught on conveniently rolling cameras. Not hidden cameras, anyone picking targets would have known they were there. What possible reason does Israel have for doing that? Absolutely none. What possible reason does Hamas have for doing that? Framing Israel. Those cases make far more sense as Hamas rather than as Israel.


In the video, it was clearly children and other civilians. I can't find it at the moment.

Here's an article from Reuters about the civilian deaths. You can also pull up satellite images and see for yourself that the country is being levelled. That's not something you do if you're seeking specific individuals. There's just no excuse for killing civilians.

It's insane to compare Hamas and how they treat their citizens with Israel. Can you name a single thing Hamas has done to mitigate its civilian casualties?


Sorry, what? Mitigate it's civilian casualties? Are you spewing the garbage "human shield" argument here? The propagandization is complete with you.

Misdirection. He asked about what Hamas has done. Your response is to try to discredit the notion of human shields.

As for the "former Israeli soldiers"--how, exactly, are we supposed to know they really are?

NY Times? *ALL* the major news sources do not want to jeopardize access to reporting from Gaza. They'll say what Hamas wants them to say.


You didn't answer his question.
