So the thousands of children killed in Gaza are guilty?

I will agree with you for a second. We don't trust hamas. What about a truce to help civilians and deliver aid and send UN verification team? Wouldn't that be great for people and for morals of the great Isreali people?

Oh, I forgot that US veto every attempt for a ceasefire or truce and isreal said it will not respect it anyway.

Because Russia's invasion is clearly illegal and immoral. Every act they do in furtherance of that goal is a crime. Every bullet fired, every cell phone tower and every power transformer destroyed. Israel is clearly defending themselves against a genocidal adversary who just killed more Jews in one day than any day since the Holocaust. They have every right to invade Gaza to eliminate that threat.

At best, you are straw manning the other side's arguments here. But for the most part, you are alleging comments and language that don't seem to appear in this thread.

how does Israel give evacuation warnings if Palestinian telcos are offline?

Total joke and misinformation that the IDF would call an entire building worth of people on their cellphones to warn them. Think about how difficult it is to do this accurately. And even if they had the technical capabilities to pinpoint cellphone users in a single building, how many are they calling? How many are answering?

Total BS propaganda from the Israelis

> Anyway, if Gazan citizens learn the lessons of their mistakes, they still have a future. Mistakes? To be clear, before I continue further: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Hamas also has a lot of support within Palestine. Now then, scenario 1) how, realistically, do you propose that the regular non-Hamas supporting Palestinian works to eradicate Hamas? Hamas have arms. (Let's not also forget how hard right Israel…

FYI, most of what you say is true but the IDF uses the domestic Merkava, not Abrams. They have a similar "modern western MBT" aesthetic, but they're not related.

Thank you, I updated it.

The only real problem is that there isn't anything to evacuate to and whatever they leave behind they'll lose forever.

"Israel didn't warn them." "Okay, they did, but it doesn't matter." Got it.

I don't think I can follow your reasoning.

Nearly all of the over 7k people killed in Gaza in the past few days are civilians. Sure Hamas, with the help of the media framing of this as a 9/11, gave them a good Casus belli, but Israel has always been good at finding Casus bellis. When Israel again invaded Gaza in 2014, they killed 2,310 people, 70% civilians and lost 67 soldiers in return. Even more destructive was the 7-10k homes completely demolished and 87k…

> Is there a list published of all the causalities and their status?

Yes. By the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

And I'm not entertaining the rest of your questions.

They've been giving evacuation warnings for many days with both leaflets and the cell phone network:

> Residents in Gaza reported that Israeli planes rained red leaflets on neighborhoods Saturday, urging residents to evacuate. Those with cell phones also received the message digitally, according to social media reports.

The Palestinians are not intermittently but continuously oppressed. Israel can stop it at any time but chooses not to, hence the retaliation by the Palestinians. What Israel is doing now is not retaliation but doubling down on their standard M.O. You've got the history backwards, friend.

> Yes, let's let this terrorists who killed babies cold blooded

This is a completely made up fake story that's oft repeated by the Netanyahu administration. No basis in reality

And you should really learn about the history of Palestine and all the attempts at peace. Israel has occupied Palestine for decades and has murdered thousands. In 2014 alone they killed 2,300 Palestinians. 70% of those being civilians. In return Israel lost 87 soldiers in their invasion.

If you lost your brother, mother, sister, etc, wouldn't that push you to... doing something? Anything?

Hamas is NOT Palestine. But their existence ONLY makes sense if you read even a little bit of the history of this occupation.

Looks like the Hamas attacks and kidnappings backfired. What a horrible move. Can we agree on that point?
