It's not realistic or remotely reasonable to expect a war to be conducted in a manner which spares all civilians. That has never happened anywhere ever throughout history, and isn't happening in Gaza. To stop the killing, the casus belli has to be addressed, in this case Oct. 7 and the continued holding of hostages by Hamas. Civilian deaths in WW II stopped when Germany and Japan surrendered; the Allies rightly didn't stop offensive operations before then despite an estimated 55 million civilian casualties, they persisted until the threat from the Axis powers ended.

The lesson is obvious - Hamas needs to surrender. That should be the call from the Palestinians and their sympathizers, not bleating about the IDF response to Hamas' atrocities and efforts to execute upon their genocidal goal of eliminating all Jews.

Meanwhile they do nothing about the church burnings, lynchings, or the murder of Christians. Hell, they are actively helping continue the Armenian Genocide.

But nothing new about releasing the hostages? Come back when you have news relevant to ending the conflict. We all know wars result in casualties, and that Hamas is happy to see more and more of them.

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH KILLING PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH Oct7?

Hamas has said repeatedly they would release all the hostages. Even back in the fall of 2023. Everyone knows the genocide in Gaza is not about the hostages.

Right. They'll release the hostages if Israel yields to their extortionate demands, but not before. Until then, bye-bye more non-combatants, because Hamas doesn't care how many die.

That's not war. That's literally a war crime. And Israel is responsible for their own war crimes. "They made me do it," is the flailing excuse of an out of control child, not "the most moral army in the world."

The war criminals are Hamas and those who elected them, supported them, hid them, and encouraged them in their genocidal ambition, plain and simple. Israel is fighting for the return of Israeli hostages. No hostages, no fighting. Fighting for the return of your people is righteous, legitimate, and assuredly not "war crimes", a label used by the losers to protest their impotence in the face of their own intransigence in failing to take any steps to end the war they themselves started.

1. Hamas being guilty of war crimes doesn’t give Israel carte blanc to commit war crimes themselves. Israel is guilty of their own war crimes. There is no justification.

2. Hamas is not capable of genociding Israelis. That's just a factual reality. Committing your own preemptive genocide because your (much weaker) enemies similarly wish you dead, is not the righteous justification you believe it to be.

3. Israel is not fighting for the return of the hostages. Their leaders have said as much. Hamas has offered the return of the hostages multiple times. If the return of the hostages was all this was about, the "war" would be over. But that's not what it's about now, and you know that, so stop lying.

4. War crimes has a definition. Israel has committed many war crimes. Nothing about war crimes are justified or righteous. Per my previous point, theyve had opportunities to get their people back and they've turned it down because THIS IS NOT ABOUT HOSTAGES.

So much war and so few people returned. Maybe IDF should stop shooting at the hostages?

Sorry, does the Catholic Church have hostages? This is news to me.

Collateral damage, easily avoided if Hamas releases the hostages it holds. But don't let that reality keep you from trying to pin all the deaths and casualties from Oct 7 and afterwards on anyone but those actually responsible - Hamas and those who support it from among the Gazan population and in Iran.

The hostages are collateral damage, easily avoided if Israel returns their hostages and exits Palestine.

Or, continue to lose Palestinian civilians when attempts to extort concessions from Israel meet with the response they deserve.

Just making sure I understand - the attempts to exhort concessions from Israel deserve the killing of Christians as a response?

Israel can pin point rooms in high rises to target Iranian military ; however, are extremely sloppy when it comes to Gazans. Some might say this is deliberate.

The IDF is a criminal organization..

The accident is that they got caught. Yeah, complete accident. Probably aiming at some kids.

Supporters of Israel’s policies and actions are immoral louses and the fact that they provide material support to a state-sponsor of terrorism should be sufficient basis to remove them from the U.S.

Israel is a terrorist state

They have proposed a plan that entails no more Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Netanyahu is the difficult one. Hamas agreed to a US plan but Netanyahu did not.

The Catholics do not have hostages. This is alarming tbh.
