      If Hamas is in every bombed civilian home then we must deduce that it is one of the biggest armies in the world.

      Yet, all I see are homemade rockets that can barely blow up a roof…

            well yes, but blame Hamas for hiding in the vast cave network while we target apartment buildings

          It reminds me when my mother threw a set of iron keys at my face and I quickly shut the door between us so they hit and ruined the door (instead of my face) and I was scolded for ruining the door.

          Normal people just say “why the hell did she toss the keys at you??”

        They’re still effective enough to kill, should we give them a pass because their weapons are inferior?

        Just because Hamas is punching up rather than punching down like Israel is with asymmetrical warfare, it doesn’t make them the good guys. In this case, the underdog is a terrorist organization who commits crimes against humanity and intentionally targets civilians.

          Correct. And the big dog is…

          This article says that Israel shut off the electricity, not bomb purely civilian targets.

          Did I miss that in the source?

            In 2014, during the Gaza War, the Gaza Power Plant was hit several times by Israeli shelling.

            That would be civilian infrastructure.

              Yeah that was during a war, though. That’s completely allowed in the playbook or are you going to say that literally anything Israel did in retaliation is a “civilian target”. Because if that’s the case, your definitions and understanding of this subject matter is biased and objectively wrong.

              Also, by the same virtue, Palestine has attacked civilian targets as well. You either say both sides are causing this conflict or neither are. You can’t always blame Israel when Palestine is doing the exact same thing.

                Israel isnt retaliating to shit, they created this mess. the Palestinian militia groups locked in the open air prison of Gaza are the ones “retaliating”.

                You do know that 44% of the Gazan population is 14 or younger, right? Every shelling is killing kids, shutting off the electricity is killing kids. How many children do you have to shell in “self-defense”? Fuck off with that, Palestine is not doing “The exact same thing”.

                  I recall a small little, tincy wincy attack from this terrorist group called “Hamas” that started this. Israel is no saint but Hamas, and Palestine supporting it, is 100% to blame for this. Sorry to remind you about that massacre.

                    This is a take that ignores a full 100 years of history - including the displacement of the entire Palestinian arab population. “Israel is no saint” - they are literally colonists engaging in a genocide of the Palestinians.

                You asked a question. I gave you the answer. You don’t like the answer and for some reason believe you have to defend your presumptions. You don’t. It’s okay to be wrong. That’s how we learn. Also, I like your name.

                  Aww sweaty you don’t have to try so hard. It’s okay, we’ve all looked dumb on the internet once or twice before 😂
