- pazimzadeh 3y agothis would work both ways. more israelis died on october 7th than any time since the holocaust. does this mean hamas is getting better?
- izacus 3y agoHey... talking about children here. The heck are you doing?
- sebzim4500 3y agoOk. More German children died in WWII than US children. Are the Nazis the good guys now?
- Unfrozen0688 3y agoIt is still not some metric of who is right? The media here wants to make it sound like Israel is just intentionally murdering civilians, that's just not true. Everything targeted has had Hamas targets in it.
- pazimzadeh 3y agono one claimed it to be a metric to determine who is right. half of the battle is getting people to accept that those children actually died (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38574120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38574120)
- VerminOctopus1 3y agoConflating nazis and children does not seem to be the logical masterstroke you think it is.

- flyinglizard 3y agoIs this the metric for who’s right? Should both sides equalize in the name of some obscure justice?

- ristlane 3y agoNobody wins in a conflict like this. If Hamas is defeated, and their successors don’t launch missiles at Israel, then there will be peace. Judging by past examples, those who strive peacefully for social justice have been the most successful in attaining it.
- sinistersnare 3y agoMLK Jr. has a lot to say to disagree with you. https://letterfromjail.com/ https://letterfromjail.com/ > over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; just because missiles do not fly, does not mean there is a positive peace.
- ristlane 3y agoI don’t think you’re claiming that when MLK said “direct action”, he meant things like launching missiles, killing & raping, etc. I don’t think you believe that.
- aprilthird2021 3y agoRight, only Israel should be allowed to launch missiles and rape and kill Palestinians in its prisons where they are kept for years without charges. That's obviously what he meant.

- fxd123 3y agoIt's almost as if Israel has defensive technology (Iron Dome) to protect their citizens from Palestine's rocket attacks that target civilian areas (which is a war crime)

- smoldesu 3y agoPeople aren't asking for a reciprocal death count from Israel, they want them to resist escalation.
- fxd123 3y ago> People don't want a reciprocal death count from Israel Unfortunately, many people in this thread do want that > they want them to resist escalation I want Hamas to resist escalation too. Why has Hamas broken every ceasefire in history? Why does Hamas continue to fire rockets at civilian areas?
- smoldesu 3y agoHamas is one of hundreds of organized anti-Israel groups that exist in the Middle East. If we use every one of those as an excuse to treat civilians as collateral, then the murder of innocents never ends. Israel is the only country capable of standing down in this situation.
