Nah, the kids are rarely intentional when you're that stupid.

You're so poorly travelled that you simply don't understand how poorly developed the US is when it comes to cities and density.

Metro LA is the 57th largest city in the world, but the 72nd most dense city in the top 80 cities by population in the entire world.

At the end of the day, you were the one that asserted that Gaza was one of the most dense places in the world, and I gave evidence proving it isn't even close to the most dense places in the world. Now you're trying to play off your error like this is about LA being dense or not.

Your own quotes say that there are comparable third world countries with over 4x the density of Gaza City. So your statement that it's one of the densest areas in the world is clearly wrong. It's not even in top 100 most dense cities in the world.

Also, if you think LA is dense, you are the one that's dense. You've clearly never travelled outside North America. LA is textbook urban sprawl.

They keep repeating it because it's true.

Most densely populated areas on the planet? No... not even close.

The Gaza strip is around 6000 people per square kilometer and only 360 square kilometers, that puts it 5th in the world in terms of population density for entire countries. However, 6000 people per square kilometer is not dense for such a small area. Kolkatta in India is 306 square kilometers, and 29000 people per square kilometer. Bogata in Columbia is the same. Even major cities like Metro Paris is 4000 people per square kilometer and around 700 square kilometers in size.

There's a difference between "around civilians" and literally storing weapons and living in residential apartment buildings and residential homes. There are absolutely places in Gaza that are open space where they could set up. Go look at a satellite map of the Gaza strip, there's farm land, there's industrial zones, there's small chunks of just nothing. Hamas is actively choosing to setup in residential areas because it's part of the "Guerilla Warfare 101" handbook.

You really doubt that Hamas said this? The IDF can be bad, and still correct at the same time.

Hamas clearly do not care about civilian casualties or they wouldn't be literally using them as human shields, storing their weapons in civilian locations and housing their militants in civilian buildings.

No, you have to be not stupid and realize they are sneaky little fuckers.

It's not like most gun safes are just sitting out in the kitchen or living room, especially in a household with kids. So kick them out of your bedroom and close the door while you're retrieving the firearms so they can't see the combination.

Also biometric safes are pretty common these days, then you can keep the backup physical key in a safe deposit box at the bank or even with a friend.

Parents should be automatic accomplices if a weapon they own is used by their child if there was no forced entry to the gun safe, because they clearly didn't secure it from the child properly.

Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn't great before, but it's turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.

You should post the comic to mildly infuriating too.

Shouldn't they charge themselves with genocide first?

The US killed more than half a million civilians in the middle east in retaliation for 9/11

Did everyone forget this? Or does it just not count when it's the US that does it.

The UN approved borders for Israel after the world wars, and 5 neighbouring countries invaded Israel the day it declared independence and was supposed to take effect because they weren't happy with them.

So clearly annihilation was a perfect answer.
