you do not seem to have the heart and empathy for the israelis being attacked and killed by rockets and drones and killed in terrorist attacks and seem to be very certain in information you gathered online and not from direct experience. You definitely picked a side - and blaming one side for all evil, especially in this conflict simply shows just how selective your empathy is, again, especially considering You have no personal stakes. you are demonizing a whole nation under deadly attacks and going to great lengths closing your eyes to the suffering of people you demonize

I think you have not been reading my posts where I unambiguously and repeatedly condemn both Hamas and Hezbollah, and consider firing rockets into civilian areas a war crime.

You seem to believe there's a right side and a wrong side to this conflict. I think there are two wrong sides to this conflict, but the scale and magnitude between the two sides is enormous.

I have empathy for all the non combatants here. I don't have empathy for the groups engaged in killing, displacing, torturing, etc.

How many people died from those terrorist attacks and how many innocent Palestinian children were purposely shot in the head? Whose leaders are currently on national TV proclaiming that their main goal in life is ethnic cleansing?

80% of surveyed Israeli Jews agree even partially with the phrase "there are no innocent civilians in Gaza".

over 5000 israelis and under 10 (or I assume 0) innocent palestinian children purposely shot in the head (but yes, in the history of israel there must have been some psychopaths in the army, hopefully punished).

you realize Teheran has a square with a countdown to complete destruction of Israel and they make people chant death to Israel death to America as part of normal culture?

did you survey personally or did Aljazeera do? Liar

Why do you turn this forum into a house of lies? There is a limitless supply of testimonies of Western journalists dating from decades relaying how the IDF purposely shoots children in the head in Gaza and the West Bank. Haaretz has covered it. MSF has covered it. There are testimonies from all over the world. Every single day we have dozens of incidents of West Bank settlers destroying Palestinian villages and they are being recorded by Jewish Israeli activists. Iranians, believe it or not, have not been in a campaign of ethnic cleansing, unlike Israel which currently destroying literally every single standing building in Gaza and purpusely starving its population, with explicit mentions that Lebanon will follow "the Gaza model".
