Etc. Hamas also has been murdering Gazan citizens by: shooting indiscriminately from aid trucks, killing people as Hamas steals aid, killing people and their families (kids included) if they’re even suspected of helping Israel, or going against them at all. In the early days of the war, Hamas slaughtered hundreds in the street as they fled the northern cities southbound. Hamas also intercepts warning messages sent by the IDF advising of strikes and holds civilians hostage in the target zone to
I think the meme claiming the Gazan death count consists of “64,000 children” is laughably insane. Hamas admitted to having to pay survivor benefits to tens of thousands (some misleading reports estimated 50,000… I think a conservative estimate is 30-35k Hamas deaths. There are an additional 15,000 (give or take) natural deaths that are being counted in the overall number (based on pre-war estimates; it’s only logical to continue). There are also thousands of dead pij, plp, fatah, army of Islam,
Be martyred. They indoctrinate children at a young age to be a shaheed; to take up arms and die trying to kill Jews. Hostages were kept in residential areas, in refugee camps, in hospitals, often by civilians. This directly puts civilians in harm’s way. You’re absolutely out of your mind. If all you do is rail against Israel and spout Hamas propaganda, you’re a supporter of Hamas. If you support Hamas, you’re a bad person.
Btw Israel has been found to have blatantly lied about Hamas committing most of these atrocities. In fact, it’s now come out that a lot of it was projection. As Palestinians have been the ones experiencing what Israeli says Hamas dos to them. The mass beheadings, mass sexual violence, stealing aid, secret Hamas bases. All found to be just complete fabrications. Meanwhile, Israel has been documented targeting journalists, using biological warfare, torturing and murdering innocent prisoners, etc.
Are they counting combatants under 18 as “kids”? Are they counting the people whose age has been changed from 40’s and 50’s to the teens? Because there’s evidence of records getting doctored, people being counted twice, women with the name “Mohammed”, etc. Not to mention: can you find me one war, in modern history where civilians, let alone children, sadly have not died?
If you are unaware of this fact, I don’t think you know enough about the conflict to be commenting on it then, but I’ll take this as another opportunity for education: Both Hamas and the plo (others may as well) have a fund that pays beneficiaries (next of kin) when a fighter on their payroll is killed/“martyred”. The plo’s program has adopted the moniker “pay for slay”. It also pays prisoners who kill Jews while they’re in jail. It’s similar in concept to SGLI (life insurance for military).
