    Genuine question… how is killing 1800 people protecting oneself against an attack that killed 1200 people? I would agree that Israel has a right to protect itself from terrorist attacks but I fail to see how killing more people protects anyone. If anything, it’s just instigating the terrorists to continue to try and kill more people.

      Yes and that is a genuine and valid argument against Israel’s actions. It’s the cycle of violence.

      What Israel is doing in response is wrong.

      But I’m shocked at people actually applauding Hamas and their actions.
