@tgraph52 Of course not and no one is saying that, but Hamas is a purely evil terrorist organization, and they are the government there. They are using innocent Palestinians as shields, and this is a fact. Blame Hamas, not Israel. Israel is doing everything they can minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas does everything they can to increase civilian casualties. Hamas is pure evil, and they murder as many innocent people as they can.

@LindaGoodliffe

and yes. Israel is saying that with their nonstop and indiscrimate warfare.

In what way are civilian casualties being minimized?

So.. Israel should be given free reign for all the destruction and death they are causing since Oct 7? Some say the fatalities number well over 10,000 now.

Is there no line that Israel can cross that might make you say, that's not right?

@tgraph52 Blame Hamas, not Israel. You are blaming the wrong people. Was Israel bombing Gaza before Oct. 7th? No. Do you even know what Hamas did to innocent people on October 7th? Did Israel take hostages? No. Hostages like babies and grandparents!!! Babies - after they murdered their parents. Is the IDF raping women to death in Gaza, like Hamas did in Israel? No. The IDF is going after Hamas, like they need to, and Hamas is forcing civilians into buildings they know will be bombed. Blame Hamas

@LindaGoodliffe

Are you unaware of the 56 years of warfare Israel has been waging? Yes, of course they have been bombing Gaza since before Oct 7.

For you there is NO line that Israel has, is or will ever cross in their long history of nonproportional responses that is too far.

Not in the 56 years of illegal occupation has Israel ever committed an act too far...

I don't play well with Israel Can Do No Wrong folks, even on CoSo.

@tgraph52 One last point, Israel was just days away from achieving peace with the Arab world in Saudi Arabia. Hamas attacked Israel in the most brutal way possible to stop the peace. They don’t want peace. They have stated publicly, even wrote it down, that they want all the Jews to die. They have been short circuiting and rejecting peace for decades.

@LindaGoodliffe

"Israel was just days away from achieving peace with the Arab world in Saudi Arabia"

bullshit

56 years of illegal occupation

Fifty Six

@tgraph52 Also, to answer your question, the IDF warned Gazans to leave northern Gaza and gave them a week to get out. Hamas tried to keep them from leaving. Now, the IDF has allowed 4 hour humanitarian pauses every day to help people get away from the bombing. In war, this is above and beyond, and this is a war - that Hamas started. Blame Hamas.

@LindaGoodliffe

those warnings were and are a joke...

Using IDF and humanitarian in the same thread is a joke

anyway... this is pointless.

you have a truly remarkable rest of your weekend
