Thread:Comments:Israel Defense Forces discover tunnel in child's bedroom in Rafah/Unmasking the Truth Behind IDF Reports – The World Must Recognize the Brutal Reality/reply (5)

"the Israeli bombings on these refugee camps would have resulted in many Israeli hostages being killed" - No, because Israel does something Hamas has never done. Only target the terrorists. "there haven't been reports of dead Israeli hostages in these bombed locations" - Hamas doesn't report if a hostage dies and Israel generally doesn't publicly release where the dead hostages they find were found. "they are not targeting hospitals for sympathy; they are targeting them because they believe Hamas militants are there" - Hamas is targeting Hamas run hospitals because they believe that Hamas is in the hospital. That is ludicrous. Hamas isn't (usually) targeting itself. "Palestine has existed long before 1932" - Under what leader? What form of government? If this was really a state back then you would be able to answer that. "there was a Palestinian leader before Arafat named Yahya Hammouda" - Actually, I disagree but I think a reasonable case could be made. Fine. Who was before Ahmad Shukeiri in 1964 then? "It’s not their place; it’s not their land" - Even if this were true, these civilians were just trying to live there life. And what about a 9 month old who doesn't know what war or land is, who was brutally beheaded. Did he deserve it too? How about a 2 year tortured by Hamas in a tunnel? "no one is defending themselves from Hamas" - Some are, but I agree not enough. "It’s like knocking on your neighbor's door, attacking him, and then calling him a terrorist when he fights back" - Yeah, it is. Hamas broke through Israels door, raped his wife, murdered 1 of his children and took the other hostage to be tortured, and then when Israel fought back they were called the terrorists. Apt description. "Yes, they do, because they see it as their only way to defend themselves against Israeli aggression" - The best way to defend yourself from agression is too not attack others and provoke agression in response. "people get water every 18 to 20 days" - If so, every Gazan would be dead. Considering than even according to Hamas only 1.5% of the population has died, this evidently false. "every person should have at least 100 liters during these days" - No one needs 100 liters per day. "Israel provides only 80 liters" - Yeah, unfortunately a lot of the original aid is intercepted by hamas rather than given to the Gazan people. "If Hamas members were hiding in Israel, Israel would never bomb an entire neighborhood" - Unless Hamas had taken over the entire neighborhood and no one was there but Hamas. "They may have killed 1 or 2 Israelis, but not 40,000 by accident. This comparison is not valid" - Yes. Gaza is much more densly populated than some kibbutz near Gaza. Also, Hamas was more focused on killing civilians than using them as human shields. Also, a 1 hour long massacre is different than an 8 month long fight against terrorism. "because Al-Qaeda are not defending themselves. They are attacking other people based on their ideology" - Hamas is attacking Israel because they're Jewish and they think Muslim's should own the entire Middle East. Is that not attacking others based on ideology? "it won't bring justice for the Palestinians" - Justice has already been had. You know that as long as Israel's existed 70% of the land has gone to a Palestinian state:Jordan. Jordan is 90% Palestinian and was originally founded with the idea that the half called Israel would be a Jewish state and the half called Jordan (originally transjordan) would be a Muslim state. "eliminating resistance groups often leads to occupation and control over the land's wealth, as seen in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine" - Notice the pattern with all of these. These were places that a cowardly government didn't finish the job in and withdrew. If Israel actually keeps fighting rather than running away, it will be fine. "Most people in Israel are European, holding European passports and property in various European countries" - Actually, not a majority. And they only have them because around 50% of the country are refugess from European antisemitism. "Many Israeli leaders have fake names" - That's unrelated. What someone decides to name themselves does not make their country not a country. "Did you know about this" - Yes, I've done my research. You on the other hand...
