      Some more reminders to add:

      • Reminder that a majority of Palestinian deaths since October 7th were not members of Hamas

      • Reminder that hundreds have been murdered in the West Bank since October 7th even though “war” was only declared against Hamas who has no administration over the West Bank

      • Reminder that a large swath of civilian deaths were children who had no say in the 2006 “election” of Hamas to administer the Gaza strip

        • Reminder that multiple Palestinian villages have been ethnically cleansed in the West Bank during the assault on Gaza, by settler militias supported by the IOF.

        • Reminder that Israel rejected early proposals for hostage exchanges opting instead for carnage on the Palestinian civilians.

        • Reminder that Israel KNEW of the October 7 attack ahead of time and failed to do anything to stop it.

        • Reminder that Israel is by all accounts a setler-colonial ethnostate imposing apartheid on the Palestinian people.

        Do you have a citation for hundreds of murders in the West Bank? All I can find are articles about individual incidents, and one that mentioned 34 children.

        Gazan checklist: Elect a terrorist government, support Intifada (70% support,) have lots of kids in miserable conditions while in what critics call an “open air prison,” teach your kids to hate and become militants, allow Hamas to hide among your children while starting an unwinnable war, then blame Israel for the inevitable and predictable consequences.

        Why do none of you seem to consider Gazan parents responsible for the circumstances of their children?

          Maybe when you admit your parents raised you poorly, others might as well. You should lead by example.
