(10,018 posts). . . Gaza started a war. They either didn't expect Israel to enter that war, or they wanted Israel to enter the war.
They don't like what has happened since Israel fought back against their cowardly terrorist attacks and kidnappings.
So they shout genocide and show lots of pictures of dead children to make the world hate Israel.
And give lots of fake statistics and phony photos to encourage Jew hate.
I could get into our failed educational system, but it's obvious.
So they use the word genocide and ethnic cleansing and apartheid, even though what is happening there has nothing to do with any of those.
It's war, not genocide. If they didn't want civilian losses, they would not have started the war.
If they didn't want civilian losses to get worse, they could have ended the war.
They want the civilian losses. It's good PR.
They are experts at propaganda. That is the aspect of the war that Israel is definitely losing,
There are antisemitic tropes being spread in this thread, carefully hidden but obvious.
Perhaps the people spreading these tropes know that they are doing so. Perhaps they don't.

If Hamas unconditionally returned the hostages and laid down their arms, and entered peace negotiations, the war would end.
If Israel unconditionally laid down their arms, they would be destroyed.
This is truly a defensive war for Israel.
If Hamas is allowed to continue, Oct 7 will just be the beginning step of their goal to eliminate all Jews.
Those are Hama's words. They do not want peace.
If they wanted peace, there would be peace right now.
