    I support their right to defend themselves. Isreal is not infallible however I can at the very least acknowledge that Israel takes actual steps in trying to avoid civllian deaths while Hamas will purposely attack civilians but suck at it. Again, INENT is a factor in judging moral blame.

    Also, the assumption that the only reason they invaded Gaza was because of some murdered teens is a bit shaky to say the least, the thousands of rockets being fired every day had at least a bit to do with it.

    UN facilities are being bombed. Homes and hospitals and mosques are being leveled with no proof of anything. Open your eyes chowdhry saab. Israel is not avoiding civilian deaths. They are targeting civilians.

    Who is firing those rockets? Why are they firing them? And when was the last time they fired a rocket before Israel decided to cleanse the children of Gaza?

    You say this, yet you have not posed an alternate form of defense for Israel being attacked by Hama's rockets. If your answer is "let the Iron dome do its thing " you are of your meds.

    cleanse the children of Gaza? Where do you come up with that crap? No children of Gaza have been targeted. 0. If Israel wanted to kill all the children of Gaza they could tomorrow. They have the weapons. Clearly that's not what they are doing.

    That's excellent spin, but we do know that Hamas stores weapons and missiles in UN facilities, homes, hospitals, and mosques so just because you don't have proof that the places that were bombed were weapons caches doesn't mean that there is no proof of it.

    It's a shame that you don't seem to place the blame on the war criminals who put the civilians' lives in danger to begin with by turning civilian targets into military targets. Every time you show evidence of a civilian death in Gaza in relation to this current offensive it's another indictment of Hamas and the Palestinian people who voted for them.

    LOL, "cleanse the children of Gaza"? They could go in and kill every man, woman, and child in Gaza in a matter of hours if they wanted to.....that's clearly not what they are doing.

    So lets get this straight. Your position is Israel is targeting Palestinian kids? Why don't they just kill them all today if that's their goal? Why do they call and tell them to evacuate. Why do they drop knockers to warn them to leave? Also your ****ty photos aren't very compelling.

    People die in war....which should give the Palestinians plenty of incentive to seek peace, yet they don't.

    You are a gullible thing. Do you have any.form of.higher education in international politics? Stratch that. Common sense and a rational mind is all that is required.

    Israel is a recognized nation state. When you lash out allegations such as "Israel is cleansing the children of Gaza" you must put forth some evidence and part of that evidence is motive. Do you understand the reppurcussions of an officially recognized nation state that actively commits genocide? So if your claims have any validity that would mean that Israel's motive to actively commit genocide is stronger than their desire to be considered an officially recognized state and not have half the western world imposing sanctions and arming Palestinians.

    No one is supporting Hamas or any of its propoganda, but you are supporting Israeli terror. And videos such as this....

    Ohhh, so that's the logic used now, "we didn't kill them all yet, so its not a genocide"

    smh

    Tell me, what motive does Israel have in intentionally killing four kids on a beach?

    So an instance of 4 kids getting killed, without any context whatsoever, is enough for you to declare that there is a genocide taking place?

    A case for motive would be a good start in defense of the claim that Israel is intentionally committing genocide.

    It's so painfully obvious that a lot of you guys don't have kids.
