    So Israel wants to kill civilians in Gaza? How ludicrous! They must have been doing exactly that for all these years, every single day! I wonder what happened right now that their drive to kill civilians peaked so much! Palestinians are totally innocent and don't want to kill civilians in Israel though, right? This never happened, or did I miss anything?

      Of course they don't. I think you're mistaking Hamas for the general palestinian population

        That's only because hamas actively tries to be mistaken for general Palestinian population.

            Israel tries, as we can see. Hamas, on the other hand, doesn't care about whether it is military or citizens.

              No… they don't actually. Using white phosphorus on a heavily populated city doesn't look like doing your best to pick out the good from the bad, it looks like killing everything that can die.

                Want to use one example to win an argument? I could do the same: using a baby doll to try to convince the public that Palestinian babies are getting killed by Israel makes you look like a lying scum instead of a victim.

      This is the exact mindset that led to the Internment of Japanese Americans, or the frequent racism against Muslims for years after 9-11(and still going on to this day). People from a place do no represent the place they're from, and a group of terrorists do not represent millions of people.

        Come up with a better plan to stop a terrorist group in Gaza then? Without letting them proceed with their violence.
