  • What prevents Hamas hiding behind people waving white flag? And what do you think should happen when Hamas shooting rockets (to civilian centers, by the way, specifically targeting cities without ANY military value) when they do it on purpose from civilian objects? Hamas using civilian objects like hospital, schools etc. is well established fact.

    As for percentage, take for example Iraq War. Per Wikipedia about 20K insurgence were killed, the civilian casualties, however are in hundreds of thousands. And those insurgence did not specifically use human shield. So, was it genocide too?

    I see no reason for people applying double standards to Israel other than banal antisemitism. And, I personally put the blame for civilian deaths in this war squarely on Hamas. They started this war, planned this situation, specifically knowing that what will likely happen next and were prepared for this and continue using the civilian shields.

    When you mix religion with nationalism and antisemitism you get dangerous mixture of people ready to go to haven by killing infidels and ready to scarifies civilians for the same reasons. There is no way for Israel and Palestinian people to live in piece with organization like Hamas present, whose declared goal IS genocide of Israel.


  • The problem with this particular war is that Hamas purposefully and in mass uses civilian shield. They do not care that civilians will die, in fact it is absolutely obvious and predicted and calculated outcome of their incursion into Israel. The only way for Israel not to kill civilians was not to react at all, which I think was not an option for them. Any attempt to avoid killing Hamas because of the potentially greater civilian casualties leads only to Hamas using civilians even more and in greater number, leading to even more deaths in future.
