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.

    No. Hamas are terrorist barbarians who actively get civilians killed in order to protect themselves.

      Yes. If you get in a car chase after a murder suspect and run over a civilian with your car, you murdered them. Now that murder could be said to be a mistake. If you consciously run over a civilian because they are in the path between you and the murderer that is very much murder. Now if you go around doing that consistently it’s possible you might be the terrorist, as by definition:

      terrorism, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective.

        Actually, the law in that case would charge the fleeing subject with a murder or aggrivated manslaughter charge (depending on the state).

        If you run from police illegally, you’re responsible for the damages cause in the chase (in most states).

              Cool. Then perhaps start jumping on the immediate ceasefire train, because for better or worse the majority of the world aren’t going to differentiate the crimes by who was in charge.

                Hamas terrorists will not participate in a ceasefire and will continue torturing Gazans and hostages.

                  I would say that at the moment you’d be hard pressed to find a Gazan or hostage that thinks Hamas is the greater danger to them and not the bombs landing on their heads.

                    The reason there are bombs is Hamas.
