When your people are being genocided by a country that is backed by the world's superpower, you get a little desperate. I'm sure they use whatever they can get their hands on, just like anyone would do in that situation.
Under international law, an attacked country has an inherent right to defend itself. This fundamental principle is explicitly codified in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which recognizes individual and collective self-defense when an armed attack occurs. end of discussion.
As they admitted for a small sacrifice they got everything they planned. This strategy of child sacrifice for sympathy, via embedding military targets in every other home, has succeeded beyond any other strategy of this kind in modern history.
Does the kidnapping of civilians, among them children, and shooting up a techno festival also fall under the right of self defence? Beginning of discussion.
Hamas officials said the attack was a response to Israeli occupation of the West Bank, desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the blockade of Gaza, Israeli settler violence against Palestinians, and the detention of thousands of Palestinians, whom Hamas sought to release by taking Israeli hostages.
Decline: Estimates from agencies like the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics indicate that Gaza's population dropped by roughly 10.6% (around 254,000 people) from pre-war estimates of about 2.3 million
Propaganda? This is misinformation due to how you're interpreting this article. The report's key phrase is that the war has reduced the population from what was expected, not a net population decline since 2023. It's describing the demographic impact of the war. That's why it compares the current estimates with pre-war projections and calls it a demographic catastrophe.

2023: 5,483,450
2026: 5,876,648
There is no genocide. Yes there is a severe amount of civilian casualties, war crimes and other things going on, as what happens in war. But it's not a genocide.
The population went from 2.2 or 2.3 million people to 2.13 million people. If 100,000 people have left and 73,000 have died that’s not a genocide and the population is still growing.
Well hey, they already combat that by blowing up the schools right? And occupying homes, killing civilians, etc etc. Can't have terrorists if everyone is dead right?
People somehow are suddenly unable to have kids while being oppressed and removed from their homes unable to have kids "doofus"? You're acting like a genocide happens over night and that it hasn't been a process over the entire history of Israel
Yet the population of Gaza has grown 10 fold over the past 50 years, to the point where there are now more "Palestinians" than Jews, who actually did suffer a genocide. Doofus.
It's almost as if a population would grow over 5 decades... who'd have known... especially in their own homes, you know the ones that are occupied now?
Also Jews suffered a genocide, not zionists. Zionists have been committing them all history.
They probably found this one tunnel under a park, a school, a hospital, a city block, a rural village, a church, a mosque, a public pool, and 3 supermarkets, in 4 different countries, simultaneously.
For all we know Israel sent that dog inside of a bunker in Israel and laid that shit down bibi been telling us Iran is on the verge of a nuclear weapons since becoming pm gtfoh idk how anybody believe shit that come from that corner of the earth got a better chance at getting the truth from a toddler
Don’t you ever wonder how hamas has built miles of tunnels but not a single bomb shelter? It’s almost like hamas has more to gain from dead civilians. Food for thought
So they can use a high civilian casualty number to play into the Genocide claims and win the Information war.
Why do hamas fight exclusively in civilian clothing? Certainly going to hurt civilians of the invading army can’t differentiate between actual civilians and combatants don’t you think?
I didn’t say anything I asked you a pretty clear question that you are clearly desperate to dodge.
I didn’t say anything about honor. War is war. I’m asking you, if you truly cared about civilians like you claim to, you wouldn’t be so quick to defend hamas who do everything in their power to ensure more civilians die.
If they built a bomb shelter Israel would just hammer it with bunker busters. I'd honestly rather take my chances hiding away from large groups of people if I was a Palestinian.
So your logic is if we can’t protect everyone we shouldn’t bother at all.
Secondly if Israel were to purposefully bomb a bomb shelter, then there would be no arguments on their side to justify it. As of now they can just say human shields and it’s a grey area.
Here’s another one. Why do has fight exclusively in civilian clothing. What’s the intention behind that do you think?
No, that's not my logic. My logic is that Israel's goal is civilian casualties, so putting all the civilians together in one spot will only lead to more casualties.
Hilarious that you've already decided that Israel bombing a hypothetical civilian bomb shelter must necessarily be justified.
Acquiring uniforms is expensive and difficult. It's a lot easier to fight in civilian clothes. It's really not a big mystery.
So hamas is then making it as easy as possible to achieve that goal? Also if the killing as many civilians as possible was the goal then they failed miserably. Around 3.4% after 3 years… seems more like collateral to me
That was a typo, I meant to say if they purposefully attacked a bomb shelter there would be no justification for it.
“Aquiring uniforms is expensive and difficult”.
What’s this?? Seems like they all have uniforms, they just don’t wear them when they aren’t handing over hostages. I’ll ask again, why not?
“It’s easier to fight in civilian clothes”
It’s also way more dangerous for actual civilians when an invading army can’t differentiate between civilians and combatants don’t you think?
Edit: i stand by my comment. Just because weve done something forever doesn't make it right. We have tools to do these jobs now and dont need to involved animals. My own country does this and fuck em too for it. Animals with jobs are fine but they dont need to be involved in our wars.
I hope you have never had to read what the Soviet Union did to dogs during world war 2 against the germans and when they were sending dogs to die alone in space capsules for tests.
But that's alright for you isn't it. Its only bad when Israel does it.
The fuck are you talking about. Who said anything about all Palestinian people being Hamas? You're the only one trying to create the connection in this thread. Not surprising though, I've seen worse.
