    "…seem to be a more sophisticated version of the ball-bearings or nails and bolts which armed groups often pack into crude rockets and suicide bombs,” Amnesty said in a report at the time. [emphasis added]

    Looking at you, Hamas.

      Don’t you think it’s crass to take an article about children maimed by Israeli bombs as an opportunity to talk about Hamas?

          Why would it be crass to speak of what the parents of these children do to other children?

          Thanks for tipping your hand early and admitting you believe all Palestinians are terrorists.

                  Israel did not become a thing until the late 1940s, before that there was no Palestinian-Israeli conflict. You like to spread lies and act as if deaths on both sides of the conflict are equal, they are not. You act as if both sides are on equal footing, they are also not.

                  You act as if both sides of this conflict are equally responsible for what has happened. Well, prior to Israel being there, Palestine were there, they had homes and were kicked out, and continue to be kicked out. You have no leg to stand on when you steal from and kill innocent people.

          Frankly there is not enough News about the daily, sometimes hourly, rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.

          There has been 1 rocket attack against Israel since October that occurred in May. There have been zero, 0, none, no Israeli civilian deaths due to Hamas since the initial attack in October. Don’t just make things up to justify Israel’s continued genocide.

              I think you’re both arguing about the wrong things, but did you read the article you cited?

              Literally the first sentence of the article:

              The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of rockets into Israel on Monday as…

              If, like me, you’re not an expert in Iranian backed militia groups, it then goes on to say:

              Islamic Jihad, an ally of Hamas - both of whom are backed by Iran - said…

              Idk about the rockets or any of the details but do try to become familiar with the evidence you’re citing before acting like you’re an authority on the topic.

                  Oh my poor friend. None of what you said was witty. You previously said “hourly” and have now linked an article that says I was wrong when I said a singular attack in 10 months there were in fact 2, count em 2, whole rocket attacks (though one was not by Hamas). Mea culpa! I will point out that your very own linked article literally says “The volley of about 20 rockets caused no casualties”. Imagine that?! There are not hourly rocket attacks and zero Israeli civilians have been harmed since October. I don’t know what sort of hardware is required for wits but I can assure you you are lacking in it and perhaps have horse blinder hardware installed that you are not aware of. You have proven quite well that you are neither an expert nor well educated apparently.

                  Deep breath. It does seem we are arguing points and that we in fact agree the whole situation is terrible. It is just upsetting when you make up things about Palestinians harming Israeli civilians when that is not true. It is only Palestinian civilians in the line of fire and it is heartbreaking.

                  • objectively wrong: doubles down
                  • no expert: the most educated
                  • dumbed down (thanks!): incomprehensible amounts of wits

                  Does your LinkedIn profile list, “The School of Hard Knocks”, under education? You argue like someone who has never had any serious, formal education.

                  On the bright side, you should seriously consider running for public office, you check every box for the modern politician in some places.

          I see, in your eyes all Palestinians are terrorists, and the kids deserve to die, because they will grow up terrorists. You just found out how generalisation and dehumanisation work.

              Seriously how many Israeli civilians have died since the beginning of the war and how many Palestinians? Or how many Israelis homes and how many Palestinian homes have been destroyed. Or how many Israeli an Palestinian kids died, got maimed or starved?

              Palestinians were treated inhumanely long before this war ha started. Please open the webpage of any human rights organisation and check what they think of the situation in Gaza and the West bank before the war. I dare you to provide me with a single link of such organisation that is portraying Israel’s government as the good guys here, who are doing everything possible to find a peaceful solution.

              Heck even the US started sanctioning settlers who are constantly terrorising Palestinians in the West bank.

              Use that brain of yours and do some reflecting on those ugly colours you are showing to the world.

              And please use this brain of yours and truthfully answer me, how would you feel if you were on the other side of the fence. Even in the West bank, because I am pretty sure you wouldn’t be happy either.

                Are you expecting a zionist troll to have empathy for Palestinians? The guy is beyond saving. A waste of a human mind.

                    Weird how you only tell me to stop while everyone else goes off.

                    Ironic, considering where this conversation is happening.

          It’s not a Holy War. It’s colonization, apartheid, and genocide.

          Why don’t you show us all the Israeli civilians who are being killed by these rockets? There isn’t enough news about that because it’s not happening. Israelis are enjoying themselves being the evil monsters they are raping, torturing, and murdering Palestinians. And Palestinians are just being slaughtered. This isn’t a war, it’s a genocide.
