    Not many other ways to make 1.1 million people really angry, on top of all else. Not everyone there is a terrorist, but they all have to pay the price for the actions of those whose are.

      Oh there’ll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.

      What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you’re inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.

        A much higher number of justifications for that government to crack down even further. First you demonize the enemy, then you strike against them, and when they inevitably defend themselves, you have a justification to kill the people trying to kill yours. That playbook is millenia old and still works.

        Palestine is not a regular place. It is a military base for terrorists. Downvote all you want, this is a fact you will need to understand.

          The Gaza strip has over 2 million people, half of which are under 18. That is a “fact you will need to understand” before you go around defending the atrocities Israel is and will commit.

            Israel is defending itself from future attacks like Saturday. It doesn’t matter what your feelings are about this the fact is Palestine is a terrorist military base, and Israel is about to liberate it.

              Let me try to put this in a different perspective. First: Gaza has an average age of about 19 years old, and a bit more than half of the population is under 18. Second: there was a Reuters report and video yesterday about how the cemeteries are full so people are burying their loved ones in donated vacant lots with cinder blocks and bits of rubble as gravestones.

              To emphasize and clarify the point: half the population is children and they’ve run out of space for more graves.

                Hundreds of terrorists attacked innocent people, including babies on Saturday. You’re a coward for defending terrorists.

                  I never said anything about defending Hamas. If there was a way to extract them and offer them up to the Hague without endangering innocent civilians, I’d be all for it. But we should put Netanyahu and his cabinet on trial as well. There can be more than one monster at a time

              Palestine is defending itself from future attacks like the last several decades. It doesn’t matter what your feelings are about this the fact is Israel is a terrorist military base, and Palestine is about to liberate it.

                  You offer no truths except hollow words that echoed around your empty brain.

                  You know nothing about the truth of the situation, only what your propaganda has lied to you about, and you’re top stupid, ignorant, or paid to spread disinformation to consider another point of view.

          If you believe that, then you have no concept of reality and just accept whatever fantasy is told to you to make you angry.

          I pity you.

                  Nice projection. Wish I could help you. But I’m not trained for trauma. Whatever it was, it’s not your fault.

                    Thank god our government isn’t as stupid as some of the people in this thread. Too much propaganda out there for folks to consume and become brain washed. Thank fucking god the US military is supporting the innocents.
