I could not have said it better. None of this would be happening if Gaza did not start this war on Oct. 7th. by firing over 5,000 rockets into Israel. Every rocket was a war crime because they were not guided and meant to kill anyone in their path, men, women and children. Then Gaza slaughtered over 200 men, women and children in Israel who were non-combatant, no threat, not armed, just attending a music festival, a second blatant war crime. Then Gaza took over 200 people in Israel hostage, again men, women and children who posed no threat whatsoever, a third blatant war crime. Yes, there are more women children killed and injured in this conflict as you said, but if Hamas weren’t building terror tunnels beneath UNRWA built schools, using ambulances to transport munitions and manpower, placing headquarters in public places and rockets and munitions in backyards, there would be many less casualties. Now Gaza is crying “boo-hoo” they are killing our women and children. Well how much care did they have for their children during the year and a half “great march of return”? Parents allowed Hamas to buss women and children to the front lines of this march every week for all of this time. 46 children were killed and up to 8,000 injured. What kind of parents allow this? If Gazans’ are looking for sympathy, they can find it between sh-t and syphilis in the dictionary.
