GAZA: 3,195 children killed in three weeks surpasses annual number of children killed in conflict zones since 2019 ( www.savethechildren.net )

Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

After Hamas' actions on the 7th I don't see Israel stepping back. Their previous attempts at curtailing Hamas were already under criticism for not going far enough, and that was before the largest attack in decades had occurred

He says, unironically, on an article about 3000 dead children. Gross.
How many children do you think the critics will accept as enough? Or does that number not matter because they aren't Israeli children?

The killing of kids is terrible

Israel's goal of Hamas' destruction makes it unavoidable

Without a change in Gaza further attacks from Hamas are unavoidable

And unless there is a government in Israel that stops the settlement and incursions of Radical Israelis in the west bank there will be no peace

There is no true and just change here at this time that fixes everything

Legit the most sane person I saw on this platform.

Congrats on not being brainwashed.

Yet some people still claim Israel is the victim! When the truth is that Israel is a terrorist state.

no victims, right. https://lemmy.world/post/7539955

Obviously there are individual victims, but as a nation Israel is mostly responsible as those who have all the power.

Guydht ,

Having power = the ones responsible?

They have no power in Gaza. They haven't had any for the last 15 years. The ones in control of Gaza and its population id Hamas, and the ones who doesn't take care of poor Palestinians is Hamas. And the ones who get foreign aid and uses it for rockets instead of infrastructure is Hamas.

Power != Responsibility. Life isn't spiderman.

Israel has all the power over Gaza. They control who or what goes in and out. The way Palestinians have been treated I'm not surprised at all that they have ended up with extremist leaders.

Guydht ,

They control everything in and out huh... Does that include the rockets and anti-tank ammunition Hamas has?

Give me a break. They had a free hand running their own region for over a decade, and that's what came out of it.
Lots of military means - zero safe zones for civilians.

Buffalox ,

They are using way superior power only to oppress, that's why they have more responsibility.

Guydht ,

They use their power only when needed, which is very frequently given that their neighbors advocate for civilians giving away their lives to serve a religious ideology, meaning they're under a constant threat on their safety.

Yes, they're more powerful. But no, they don't only oppress using it. If they did, you'd have what china did to their muslim minority. The use of power is large, but not disproportionate to their level of security risk.
