It sounds like at least some of the Palestinian casualties sarisataka Jun 2024 #7

"Sounds like?" That's a damned weak supposition. Sounds like a refugee camp suffered hundreds of deaths in Martin68 Jun 2024 #11

Does Hamas have unique weapons sarisataka Jun 2024 #12

Well, we already know Israel has no such weapons, but they do have weapons that are 10,000 times more devastating than Martin68 Jun 2024 #24

Not for lack of trying sarisataka Jun 2024 #25

Okay atreides1 Jun 2024 #28

Let's see if you can take your premise to its logical conclusion. Beastly Boy Jun 2024 #35

It sure looks to me like Israel has eradicated Gaza. Have you seen photos of the destruction? How many Israelis has Martin68 Jun 2024 #38
