I see a lot of posts denouncing the Hamas attacks. I want to minimize the loss of all innocent lives.

That was horrific. NH Ethylene Oct 2023 #31

Yup, the white hats/black hats over this is really maddening obamanut2012 Oct 2023 #45

A number reported by Hamas, so we really have no idea how many have died in Gaza EX500rider Oct 2023 #54

But we can all agree TexasDem69 Oct 2023 #77

Current death tolls: over 3,500 in Gaza, about 1,400 in Israel muriel_volestrangler Oct 2023 #32

Of course the death toll in Gaza is higher. totodeinhere Oct 2023 #56

Hamas is indeed very bad mvd Oct 2023 #52

Perhaps it is related to the number of people being killed bu the respective combatants. Today I read that Martin68 Oct 2023 #53

It was inevitable that more Palestinians would be killed but whose fault is that? totodeinhere Oct 2023 #61

Correction: it will be both the fault of Hamas and Israel. Hamas hides among civilians, which is Martin68 Oct 2023 #62

Israel is not intentionally bombing civilians just for the sake of bombing them. They bomb military totodeinhere Oct 2023 #64

Q: Who is dropping the bombs? A: Israel Q: Who is responsible for civilians killed by those bombs? Martin68 Oct 2023 #92

Q. Who's firing the missiles? yagotme Oct 2023 #99

You seem to be missing the point. Hamas committed heinous war crimes. The Israeli response has killed thousands Martin68 Oct 2023 #101

The point missed, is that Hamas keeps egging it on. yagotme Oct 2023 #102

Attacks by a terrorist group do not excuse the mass slaughter of civilians. Martin68 Oct 2023 #103

Exactly. The mass slaughter of civilians by Hamas, yagotme Oct 2023 #104

It's not a war crime SickOfTheOnePct Oct 2023 #69
