    Israel isn’t mass murdering Palestinian children. They’re bombing Hamas terrorists, who are using children as human shields. That is 100% on the terrorists.

      You’re fooling yourself if you think the Israeli military actually knows where Hamas is and is target bombing. If they knew where Hamas bomb factories and the like were, then they would have bombed them before the attack. Israel is just bombing random targets. Like apparently several thousand strikes, some serious WW2 level bombardment. Seems much more likely such factories would be underground.

      You’re falling into the trap of thinking Israel has some kind of legendary intelligence force when the attack showed they were only fooling themselves.

      The intense bombing is just to drive away the population and empty out the area so the Israeli military can go in with ground forces without taking a lot of casualties. They won’t go in on the ground unless a majority of people leave the area. Urban fighting with high rise buildings is a guarantee for mass casualties on the attacking force. The Israeli military is mostly reservists, so a lot of people with minimal combat experience and mostly did checkpoint duties in their active time in the IDF.

      Gaza is among the most densely packed population on earth. Dropping bombs where there are schools, supermarkets, apartment buildings and hospitals is a deliberate attempt by Israel to terror bomb and mass murder. This is bloodthirsty revenge by a racist ethnostate.

        If they released all the hostages or hadn’t taken any brazenly in the first place it might be purely revenge but I tend to think that had some effect.

          I mean they should be negotiating for the release of hostages. There’s no reason to believe that these bombings will have any effect on hostage release, especially since Israel is considering a ground incursion into Gaza to wipe out Hamas.
