UNICEF has declared Gaza to be the “world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”

United States diplomats once again held up a vote on a watered-down United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday aimed at bringing more aid and relief to civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip as reports of starvation, mass killings, and other war crimes allegedly committed by the Israeli military continue to pile up.

    If side A uses a human shield, and side B immediately kills that human without hesitation, side B has made a much more evil decision.

    Nothing justifies genocide. Period.

      Your analogy is poor.

      Hamas just shot your wife and child, and is now hiding behind their wife and children telling you that you can’t shoot back. They will shoot you if you try to get to them directly, and they will shoot your sibling next week if you don’t stop them, and your cousin the week after. Their wife is also supporting their killing of your family.

      What would you do to stop them attacking you?

      Israel tried building walls, Hamas started shooting rockets over it. Israel built a missile defence system, and Hamas breached the barriers and massacred civilians anyways.

      859 Israeli civilians died on Oct 7th.

      Fuck Hamas, Gaza has made itself a bed of terrorism. These are the consequences.

          My math? Since when do wars have to be even? Usually one side completely destroys the other… that’s how winning happens.

          This isn’t an eye for an eye, it’s attempting to eliminate a massive terrorist organization hiding within and with the support of the civilian population.

        Israel has killed at least 8000 children in two months through indiscriminate bombing and forcing doctors to abandon babies in incubation units so they starve and die alone and rot.

        Fuck the Israeli government. Israel has made itself a hotbed of terrorism.

        This is literally the same logic. Learn to think better. Stop justifying genocide.
