54. So how many Gazan children should die in your scenario of taking out

Thu Nov 16, 2023, 01:46 AM

Nov 2023

every Hamas militant? Did the US have to kill every Isis terrorist to
stop the war? No they did not.

Just curious how many dead Palestinians can you handle?
Without a cease fire, things are going to get really ugly soon
These people need shelter; many are sleeping on the ground without cover
and its getting cold. Many are getting sick from the overcrowding.
And others are just starving to death. Oh and then there are the bombs
and often no way to the hospital for the injured.

What you think 100,000 children? Or do you have a limit?
