Israel v Hamas

[Forest Hillbilly]

So killing 50,000 civilians (including aid workers) and denying food and medicine to those that remain is a reasonable and proportionate response ?
No-one has denied Hamas are terrorist scum who deserve a military response , but the indiscriminate butchery of civilians shocks most people. And that includes Israeli residents.

Ah, so you are taking the terrorists' figures as gospel I take it?

Out of that number, no Hamas fighters are included?

Can you define what is a "reasonable and proportionate" response?

There is a terrible number of casualties but not what the Hamas number is, those who quote it are de facto supporting Hamas.

Hamas MoH admits "flaws ", i.e making up numbers and split of demographics

I think it's asking them nicely not to be so mean, and perhaps putting IDF troops in harms way in order to just make sure that nobody in Gaza who Hamas claim is innocent gets hurt.

It's utterly delusional and there's no understanding of the history, the situation nor armed conflict.
