      • Food and water can still get in via the Egyptian border.
      • Funny how in this conflict one side is expected to adhere to international law while the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers, etc.,

        If you were to take a guess at the ratio of Palestine civilians to Israeli civilians that have been killed in the last 50 years. What would it be?

          I would guess that Palestinian civilian death counts are significantly higher, as most of the fighting has been done within occupied Palestinian territories, civilian uprisings happen against the IDF often there, Israel can bomb targets in Palestine freely causing collateral damage while they are protected by the Iron Dome, Hamas and other such groups are fighting a guerilla war by hiding among civilians, and you wouldn’t have brought it up were it not a huge ratio. 9:1?

          With all the civilians they intentionally murdered the ratio is certainly moving in their favor now.

          An eye for an eye, leaving the world blind.

        Yeah Israel is expected to obey international law because it gets $3.8 billion a year in funding from the US to support their military. If Israel refuses to follow international law then the US is effectively giving that money to terrorists.
