Not only have nearly 1,200 IDF soldiers died in combat (not counting suicides) but over 40 percent were *UNDER AGE 21.* This according to the Israeli Defense Ministry official numbers.
Have you people no compassion for the mothers and families of these young boys (and some girls?)
There are also articles about the menstrual cycles of Israeli women stopping outright due to all the collective stress of war - with women in the forces taking pills to postpone their periods indefinitely.
It’s easy to cheer on and warmonger away from the sidelines when these numbers are just faceless stats, and it’s not YOUR children dying. This is NOT a video game. Sad to even have to remind people that…
The citizens of Israel wanted the peace deal more than any politician did. And that’s why every mention of Netanyahu during Steve Witckoff or Jared Kushner speeches at Hostages Square was BOOED vociferously, while Trump was cheered.

Not sure why you included me in the above statement. My post #27 certainly wasn't compassionless.
Would appreciate a retraction of my name from your statement.
