In that were really the case, Israel would be the ultimate sucker, wouldn't it? Because the world definitely holds Israel with increasing contempt.

Yes, biased bodies (UN), many Arab nations, nearly all media outlets (seriously--why no coverage of Hamas militants?), rooted anti-Semitism throughout Europe (breathtaking what is taking place there) and those that don't appreciate Israel's position (still think it was unfairly created by UN in 48, think that by opening up all access to Gaza will totally appease Hamas, think that all Israeli wars were started by Israel) will always hold Israel in contempt. Plenty of people in the world are siding with Israel or level-headedness, including Jordan, Egypt and the UAE. Saying "the world" holds Israel with increasing contempt is pretty far fetched.

Many of us have said here that, with these attacks, Israel may win a battle but lose the war. That is exactly how the Economist chose to summarize the conflict in its latest edition.

Calling any pieces with which you disagree "propaganda" only underscores your own indifference to the lives of Palestinians and further strengthens the compassion others feel for the victims. Just thought you might want to know.

Are you saying PP doesn't care about children being killed? I don't think Hamas cares if children are killed other than it helps their visual cause on the world stage.

But every child death is a disaster and heart breaking. The kids who lost their lives from Hamas suicide bombers, the soldiers that were killed from Hamas booby trapping tunnels under UNRWA schools, the kidnapped soldiers that are undoubtedly being tortured now, and yes, of course, every Palestinian child, killed indiscriminately by Israel or Hamas. Neither party kills kids on purpose. And the rockets that (about 1/3) that Hamas shoots but land in Gaza. This is all tragic. I think any sane and reasonable person thinks that. We all pray for peace and cool heads to prevail. But more propaganda and Hamas mouthpieces is not what we need. That will not better the situation. I'm not sure if you think you are helping things with the one-sided rhetoric. You aren't.

No need to reply and bold the lines that aren't in line with your Hamas propaganda.

Guess what? There are people other than Hamas who care that children are being killed.

+1000.

Israel is killing children on purpose in Gaza. It is attacking areas with complete knowledge of, and indifference to, civilian casualties. That is reality, no matter how much you pretend otherwise.

If that doesn't coform to how you believe Israel would or should act, pick up the phone or write a letter. But please stop trying to suggest that it's Hamas that is responsible for Israeli-inflicted deaths.

Did they use blond children with hopes that we would care more? Sad that the tactics have to be like that. BTW, I would have cared the same if they used dark children.

It plays right into Hamas hands and ignores Hamas terrorist tactics.

Hamas terror rockets mis- firing have caused at least some of these deaths directly. Hamas intentionally fires rockets from/near places like schools because it Wants children killed for propaganda uses.

And ALL of the violence is 100% due to Hamas terrorist attacks and refusal to negotiate in good faith. Hamas is a designated terrorist organization dedicated only to terror. You obviously side with terrorists. Disgusting!

Those kids have nothing to do with Hamas. This is not about Hamas. At all. People can and should sympathize with the innocent children. Everywhere. There are similar videos showing the devastation in Syria too. When humanity forgets the kids, all is lost.

These children deserve to have a normal childhood like any other child.

Which planet do you live on that you feel no remorse for fellow human beings?People are not dying because of Hamas.. One Palestinian child has been killed by Israel every three days for the past thirteen years.
Not a word was said about the 10-year truce offered by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, instantly rejected by Israel. The truce hinged on ten conditions, the only military one requiring the Israeli Defense Force to withdraw their tanks from Gaza. The other nine were backed by economic motivation; including allowing a UN-controlled airport in Gaza, expanding Gaza’s fishing zones and allowing the borders of the Gaza Strip to be opened and maintained by the United Nations.

It is Israel which has kept Gaza under blockade since 2006 when it decided it would not accept the result of a free and fair election that put Hamas in power. A blockade is an act of war and Israel has, by that definition, been at war with Gaza for almost a decade, a war it waged through its incessant punishment of innocent civilians. Did Netanyahu think Hamas would simply accept that forever?

Jeff--weren't you stopping additional threads on this? this is just more of the same.

This video was one of the first things I saw this morning and it touched me and made me cry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNFjYjeVxzQ&app=desktop

My wish is that Israelis who support their government's military actions, which have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of INNOCENT Palestinian children, should be required to live in conditions no better than those they force Gazans to endure and watch this repeatedly, until they finally realize that other children matter as much as their own.
