Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.
“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.
Where are all those people wailing about Hamas being monsters for killing babies? This should make them even angrier and louder.
Now don’t be silly, you’re implying there is logic and reason to their arguments instead of just emotion.

Those same people don’t want children to die at either.
To militaries and the vast majority of western ethics… There’s a huge mental difference between terrorist attacks that discriminately shoot innocent children and families, from bombing those who are unlucky and happen to be near the bad guy.
Most armies would happily Dr. Manhattan just their enemy combatants out of existence if that were possible.
For places like this though, their hatred runs deep. Civilian casualties are part of the business when you’re packed that deep and using innocent people as shields.
Channel 5 news had a a couple of great segments with Israel/Palestine rallies which put this acceptance and manufactured outrage on display. It’s very much part of what both Israel and Hamas are accounting for.
Edit: Oh no! Reality in my public forum!? How dare he!

This sounds like apologia and the logic that will breed even more Hamas clones. Israel is the one committing this atrocity. They have the power to stop it. Don’t remove that responsibility from them by saying it’s just civilian casualties.
it’s not just civilian casualties, some of them were teenage soldiers.
This is whataboutism but the same crowd has the opposite opinion when it come to Russia and Ukraine. And Ukraine didn’t even shoot missiles at Russia first.
So it just appears to be alignment with certain groups and countries rather than honest worry about anyone’s wellbeing.
Did anything that you read register or did you just blindly imagine something defending Israel lol?
You’re literally rationalizing Israel (and other countries like Russia and US) going in and killing children deliberately as unlucky. Israel knows they are killing children. The moment the fucking number of “casualties” is half children then they should fucking stop.
But, no, you aren’t doing apologia. It’s just part of the business! So let’s turn around and ignore what’s happening 🙌
