“I am morally ambivalent regarding whether Israel should be doing what they are doing but let’s not pretend it is something other than what it is...they are ethnically cleansing the Palestinians out of Israel and killing tens of thousands of woman and children to do it.”

No they are not! Hamas chose to go to war on October 7 despite having a ceasefire up to and including October 6. They understand that this entails casualties.

Hamas was happy to machine gun unarmed civilians to death and commit mass rape of the most vicious sort including raping women to death. This was NOT unintentional collateral damage, but very intentional direct damage.

When wars are fought, there will be unfortunate collateral damage. While recent experience puts that at a ratio of at least 4:1, Israel has kept this down to less than 1:1. Israel should be complimented in making a major effort at keeping civilian casualties so low.

History didn’t start on Oct 7.

How are you not able to follow the tracks back and understand what is happening here? Are you so brainwashed that you are incapable of understanding that our “greatest ally” had an intricate plan to use our country as a trash heap?
