Again, blame Hamas for what is happening to the civilians. It will be THEIR choice how many innocent lives are ended in the process. They deliberately planned their 10/7 attack, they have broken every cease-fire agreement, they have refused and declined cease-fire offers, they have declined sincere and realistic two-state solutions offered by Israel... they are vicious and cruel. They are toxic and venomous snakes who cannot be trusted. They must be, and will be, destroyed.

Oh Yes! Oh Yes! They were so very happy to live side-by-side with the nice, friendly folks

I suspect that the lack of such demands on Hamas is that everyone knows they'd be wasting their breath...

Well, why don't you tell Hamas to stop hiding & shielding themselves among these "innocent civilians"?

That wouldn't do any good, but that doesn't excuse an "anything goes" policy for Israel

If your very existence is being threatened, then "ANYTHING" & "EVERYTHING" may be required to eliminate the threat. nt

Israel's mission is clear and they will do, must do, whatever it takes to destroy Hamas.

No, it's just that Israel has already killed 10-20 times more Palestinians than Israelis...

If they think accusing people who want a cease fire of supporting Hamas is helpful they are tone deaf.

The silence of both the UN and feminist groups concerning Hamas rapes speaks volumes.

Yo are equating folks who want a ceasefire/shelling Gaza to end with Hamas supporters

Interesting comparison. They do not see a loss, or they simply do not care.
