As in the previous thread just started, I am skeptical. First, the source is the Gaza Health Department. Second, there's a whole lotta lyin' goin' on in Gaza. At the same time, I believe that allegations have to stand or fall on the merits, such things as evidence and contradictions in the narration. So, if anyone has anything to mitigate or refute these allegations, please do.

It’s always children. Hamas children can be up to 30yo+ - it’s whatever they want it to be.

RE: The only people in Gaza are all babies

Exactly like the millions crossing the US borders each year.
Muscular gang members and trained terrorists look like grim faced military age males but really they are mothers holding infants and bringing toddlers to freedom in the US.

It doesn’t matter which side is lying about deaths of Gazans/Hamas/“Palestinians” or whatever they call themselves. The fact of the matter is that they attacked Israel’s citizens, killed tons of people, and despite Israel’s counter-attacks on Gaza, the Gazans haven’t surrendered or said they won’t attack Israel again.

Evidently not enough Gazans have been killed. I don’t know how much simpler this can be.

If true, the headline should read, “Airstrikes in Rafah kills 22 people, including any children that Hamas chose to hide behind and use as anti-Israeli propoganda.”

Well i live in Israel and i will tell you that these numbers are false.

No, we have not killed 33000 people in gaza since october.

I also follow lots of arab news sources on twitter so i can get fast updates or get news bits that are still under israeli media gag order.
Every bomb we drop is a “massacre that killed 14 people, 11 of them children.”
It’s all a lie

They lie through their teeth at every chance they get. They gladly send their children to die yet cry wolf and claim we kill their kids.

Why would you be skeptical with 16,000 children already slaughtered? My fear was Butcher Biden giving Bibi the green light to restart the failing Gaza offensive in exchange for the “weak” Israeli response to the Iranian missile and drone barrage. Netanyahu can’t get the Hamas fighters in northern Gaza out of their tunnels by more indiscriminate bombing in Rafah.

Every time a Hamas fighter dies, 4.5 children are also killed, because if that fighter was allowed to live and rape women he would’ve likely had 4.5 kids.

“Why would you be skeptical with 16,000 children already slaughtered?”

That number is false. And even if it is true the lesson is don’t attack your neighbors, commit mass rape and murder, and kidnap hostages for ransom.

Don’t do those things and you won’t have to worry about your kids being killed as payback.

Pretty simple, really.

It’s not even close to that simple.

“They” is not fungible. Each person is an individual. The children killed, if they were, didn’t attack anyone and aren’t able to attack anyone. They’re children. Duh.

Hamas terrorists attacked tons of people, and continue to shoot at Israeli troops coming to get those terrorists, and killing them at times. The civilians in Gaza are being deliberately used as human shields by those terrorists, but it’s not like they have a choice in the matter, once some terrorists are among them.

The majority of Gaza civilians are under 20, which means they never even got a chance to vote for their government, since the last election was over 20 years ago.

The whole thing is one huge sh!t show, which has been going on for 103 years, ever since the Jerusalem pogrom of 1921 or 22. It’s unlikely to get better, and for any hope of making it better, Hamas MUST be eliminated, only they do hide behind civilians and civilian areas. And they do have a powerful propaganda machine, which circulates far and wide the narrative that Israel is attacking civilians. So part of eliminating Hamas is defeating their lies on the merits, and circulating the refutation far and wide, and it would certainly be helpful along those lines if they can be proven to be lies.

He did it for his uncle, eaten by cannibals in WW II, as Esther Williams looked on and laughed.

Right, the bombs are programmed to seek out only humans under 18.

If I were a hostage in Gaza, nothing would give me more hope to live one more day than feeling the ground tremble from an IDF strike. I would know, no matter what lies, threats, and abuse we were being forced to take, that our people were still looking for us and making the monsters pay every day for what they do to us.
