(13,462 posts)Almost everyone condemns HAMAS for their heinous attack on innocent Israelis, but how does the murder of innocent victims like his child improve deliver retribution? It doesnt. It is simply vengeance simply because Israel has the power to deliver vengeance.

(19,382 posts)Hamas did that and caused the deaths in Gaza directly.

(18,603 posts)Maybe "an oops"??
SickOfTheOnePct
(8,710 posts)There is collateral damage. Of course its awful and heartbreaking, but Hamas brought this in to their own people, then then they hide amongst them and use them as human shields.
If its murder, than Hamas is the murderer.

(8,919 posts)Incessant dissociative coping skills require treatment not found on political message boards. Theres nothing you can say that makes me believe this little girls life had to be forfeited for the reasons you champion.
I suspect this response will only inflame you more but can you ease up on the dead children, please?
SickOfTheOnePct
(8,710 posts)Dont get inflamed over strangers on a message board.
As for easing up in the dead children, Ive stated clearly that its an awful tragedy; we just disagree on who is to blame.
Duncan Grant
(8,919 posts)But feel free to speak Hamas over each and everyone of these kids deaths. It still wont make it true.
Ziggysmom
(4,123 posts)the terrorist Hamas mastermind behind the assault, Palestinian militant Mohammed Deif, decided to start a war. For years he and Hamas have diverted humanitarian aid and instead built tunnels under Gaza for terrorist use against Israel. Just as The Third Reich vilified Jews and saw them as subhuman, it is the same hatred and moral rot at the core of the anti-Zionism that fueled the Hamas massacre. I blame hatred for the deaths in Israel and Gaza.

(13,850 posts)is using the population of Gaza City. Hamas wasn't letting them evacuate. Hamas perpetrated the attack against Israel that let to retaliation. Hamas is to blame. Fully and unequivocally.
Now we can argue about Israel's response and if they could be more careful about ensuring civilian lives are protected. (And I would argue yes.).
But without Hamas' actions last weekend, this child would absolutely, 100% be alive right now.

SickOfTheOnePct
(8,710 posts)But youre right that its a result of hate. Hamas hates Israelis so much that theyre willing to bring death to their own people.
milestogo
(23,066 posts)There are rules of war. There are international laws regarding the treatment of civilians.
The fact that Hamas has broken international law is not a license for Israel to do the same.
The fact that Hamas has committed war crimes is not a justification for Israel to do the same.
Besides being immoral, it escalates the war.
bdamomma
(69,532 posts)instead of de-escalating. It's a vicious cycle.

(22,670 posts)I won't deny she died
I won't ask how StanceGrounded knows how this happened
I won't ask who is uncle Karim
I won't ask what reporters saw her body
I won't ask the exact details of the condition of her body
I won't ask for pictures to verify her death
Because even if some details are wrong, some Palestinian child died because adults cannot simply live in peace
So my heart goes out to Eileen and those who loved her

(1,020 posts)The vicious terrorists scum who did this took great pleasure and amusement in the killing and torture of Israeli children by the hundreds. These monsters must be wiped off the face of the earth by any means necessary.
Its like using radiation treatments to try to save the life of a cancer victim. Some people die from the treatments, but others are saved.
100% of the blame is on the terrorists
period.

inthewind21
(4,616 posts)that should stop them huh! Hamas attacked to provoke a reaction. And guess what, they achieved their goal. The whole point was
1. Commit an atrocity in Israel and provoke a response. Check
2. Have Israel retaliate and cause more atrocities. check
3. Cause people to get at odds and take a side. check
4. Sit back and watch the whole situation escalate and start training all the new recruits to their cause. Because clearly the people of the world still haven't see what is and has been right in front of their faces, that these terrorist organizations ALL have the same play book. And the world responds the same EVERY SINGLE TIME! Oh, and there's big money in war!

@OrthodoxChant
Two young orthodox christian ☦️ palestinian girls named Selen & elena, from abo-alros family who're amongst the many palestinian children recklessly murdered by zionist satanists during their Gaza civilian airstrikes.


Sympthsical
(10,960 posts)The uncle being referred to is Karim Abu Alroos on Facebook who has been posting the story about family members who have been killed in the incident he's referencing. There's a picture of him with the girl in the OP and he has home video of the girls. He says their names are Eileen and Celine. Selen/Elena could be mistranslations of the sister's names.
I'm inclined to believe this story is true.
It's very sad. Everything about this is tragic.
