Palestinian children killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza City school

67. I personally am not "cool" with any of it, and I don't need to think about it.

I am also not cool with Hamas using the kids as shields, well knowing this will create a PR disaster for Israel.

I have always felt Israel overreacts, but I DO GET where they are coming from, given the history of ongoing terror attacks, and bombings, going on my entire life from Gaza, from Lebanon, from Syria, and even internally with suicide bombers.

I DON’T GET raping, genital mutilation, torture in front of other family members, and taking hostages for no other reason than being Israeli or Jewish. I mean, these were folks who sought peace and coexistence with Gaza, many living on Kibbutzim in the west to be close to Gaza, bridge the gap so to speak.

So, perhaps something for you to think about: are you cool with Hamas egging Israel into military response, knowing that many innocent people would be killed? Are you cool with raping and kidnapping and torturing? Are you cool with people cheering in Gaza and elsewhere? The fact that innocent people were raped with nails driven into their vaginas, others being beheaded, kidnapped? I personally find this brutality to be inhuman. I get Israel’s overreaction, I don’t get this other type of violence. Do you? And if you do, are you cool with it? Think about your answer.
