In reply to the discussion: The U.N. reports at least 42% of Gaza's housing units are damaged or destroyed - Democracy Now [View all]AntivaxHunters
(3,234 posts)59. Hamas caused Hamas to attack on October 7th?
It couldn't have possibly been for what Israel did in the past like bombing hospitals in 2014 could it?
Or all the innocent little kids taking headshots from the IDF could it?
On & on.
What Hamas did was revenge for the atrocities committed by Israel against them. Period. That's not to say what they did is right because it's not, it's gross but let's stop ignoring the horrors Israel has committed too. Like their long stories history of bombing hospitals & healthcare workers.

After the despicable terror attacks by Hamas, an expanded buffer zone seems eminently reasonable.

They are not supposed to go anywhere. It is hamas military infrastructure that is supposed to go.

The twists and turns of your narrative are so tortured, it is hard to see what you are critical of and why.

Hamas also said they killed no civilians in Israel. Their figures are bullshit.

There is ONE REASON why this is happening and it's because of October 7th. No October 7th

I know because dropping bombs on people for 15 years in a 24 mile radius will do no damage.
