We have all seen the video of her broken body being paraded through Gaza and the people spitting on her. Hamas did that and they brought death and destruction to Gaza.

Well more than 1… but also form and motive are important here.

The “1” was an innocent woman who was raped, tortured, and murdered slowly and publicly to spread terror because she was at a music festival.

The “3000” are civilian casualties of war because said terrorists are hiding behind them as a combat strategy.

Both are horrible, but you are making a false equivalency.

Who is his right mind goes to a festival when your country is "at war" though

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

That's like asking why do people keep having so many babies when their country is at war?

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So are 3000 Palestinian children.

Same children whose shoulders Hamas used to prop up their guns while firing as Israeli soldiers?

[–] TheBananaKing@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, the ones bombed by the IDF.

Has anyone on Lemmy ever read about Hamas before a month ago? Hiding bombs and murderers behind children is what the world knows of them. It's fact. Cute watching you all catching up on the conflict in 15 minutes.

Really cuz I've been asking for evidence for 3 weeks and nobody has bothered to link even a single source with 3rd party confirmation.

Edit: Literally since Israel bombed the AP building 2 years ago I have never gotten a single source in response. Nobody even tries.

Here is an analysis of this Hamas strategy by the NATO:

They're all fucking innocent, you monsters.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True, but the 3000 Palestinian children don't get a whole series of articles for each individual one. They're just a number, and apparently a meaningless one, given the ferocity of attacks by the Israeli government that has no limit when it comes to "retaliation".

[–] ParsnipWitch@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Because the number three thousand is probably made up by Hamas. Hamas also doesn't have a register of the young people they draw into their cause.

They also don't first get the names of all the people living in an apartment complex before they start stockpiling guns there and start shooting rockets from there.

Because they don't care for their names. They care for the fact that they can control international support by having a high number of civilian deaths.
