    Prior to 7th of October there were 165K injured Palestinians vs 6K Israelian, and that’s only since 2008. Casualties are also 20 times higher on the Palestinian side and a lot of those are women and children. Source: https://www.ochaopt.org/data/casualties

    So please tell me again about the restraint of the IDF, because these numbers seem to contradict your words! And just to make things even clearer, the military wing of Hamas is 30K.

    And I will leave this here as you kind of make Israel the only victim here, https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/other-mass-displacement-while-eyes-are-gaza-settlers-advance-west-bank-herders-enhe

      Israel’s casualties are lower for a number of reasons that I probably don’t have to list, pointing this out is not exactly compelling evidence that their attacks are indiscriminate (i.e., done at random or without careful judgment.) You’re making a claim about intent regarding targeting. Are they firing these rockets randomly at populated areas like Hamas does, or does the IDF carefully choose targets and tell the media specifically what the intended military target was? 🤔

      tell me again about the restraint of the IDF

      You’re ignoring the military capability and tactics they aren’t using. Israel has nukes, they could level every building in Gaza without warning people at all, they could just roll in and shoot everybody, they could use biological weapons, they could have forcibly closed the Rafah gate and kept food and water out until people starved to death, they could start a big fire, you know, actual genocide stuff, actual war crimes. They don’t. They get accused of it anyway though.

      And I will leave this here (article about the west bank)

      Israel really needs to keep its people in check and prosecute their civilians and soldiers who are breaking the law in the west bank. They need security there, that is some bullshit, I agree.

        Ah could you please then tell me how many of those 9000+ casualties are legitimate military targets, how many actual Hamas fighters they killed? And bring proof that all of those 10.000+ strikes have been indeed targeting military infrastructure. You are questioning Hamas propaganda but not questioning the Israeli propaganda. Don’t you realise the hypocrisy in this situation.

        And a couple of days ago I read an article that IDF leveled or severely damaged more than 4% of all residential buildings. That’s the homes of 100k residents. How is this justified? Fact is you as a person has never experienced anything even remotely similar to what Gaza residents are forced to experience every day, you can’t even fathom how it is to be on the other side of the fence. And you still defend them with all your wrongdoings. With this you are only proving how much brainwashed you are with your country’s propaganda.
