- benjlang 14y agoDid the population of Gaza elect Hamas a government that hides behind it's children after shooting rockets to hit civilians in Israel?
- kissickas 14y agoWell, considering half of the population is under the age of 18, I would say no, the "population" did not elect Hamas.
- daveid 14y agoI believe the IDF sends out warnings to the areas they target. A big difference is also that the IDF targets military targets and civilian deaths are accidental, while the Hamas targets civilian targets. Also, even if only a few Israelis die from the bombs that doesn't mean the bombs are OK.
- abyx 14y agoSome facts: 1. IDF has dropped leaflets in general areas that are to be attacked 2. IDF is calling the houses in building that need to be attacked because of stashed ammo etc. 3. IDF just now fired warning shots (no harm done) near homes. If people are still there, it's usually because Hamas is holding them hostages as human shields, as Hamas is bound to do. Also, IDF NEVER intends to harm civilians. As an Israeli I'm deeply sorry to see casualties, but I know there is no army that does so much to prevent it, and certainly when the enemy is boasting injuring civilians (Official Hamas tweet from earlier today https://t.co/jpB5SHWJ https://t.co/jpB5SHWJ )
