perhaps hamas should have considered this before attacking and killing a bunch of innocent people, then capturing a bunch of others...
And what about the children killed, is this their fault too?
Are they brown? Yes.
Are they white? No.
Go to reddit and you'll see the modern JIDF in full force. They're actually claiming and having top-voted comments (>1000 upvotes) where they say all Gazans are terrorists.
I've seen some of the discussion on there and it makes me feel sick. People talk about Gazan children as if they aren't humans.
all of them? no - but there's only one surefire way to tell
Hamas wanted dead Palestinians as an outcome of their actions. So it is partially their fault.
That isn't what I'm asking. Did the children deserve this? Are they to blame?
100% agree.
No, of course the children are not to blame. Why even ask that? I thought you were asking if Hamas was to blame, as that’s what the context of OP was, and the children were obviously blameless.
What is the purpose of saying "Hamas should have thought about that"? It's apportioning blame to the victims, who are children.
Hamas thought about it because it’s part of their objectives. They want this reaction from Israel. They are not fools. I don’t think many children are in Hamas, so I don’t get your point.
If this was intentional by Hamas then the original comment is pointless.
Look at you blaming the sins of the fathers on babies. How Christ-like you are.
sorry pops, not a jesus freak
Perhaps Israel should have thought about this before blockading Gaza for almost 20 years.
Hamas stated they were prepared for any possible response by Israel, so yeah
10% of the preparation is going to be ambushes and booby traps. 90% of the preparation is recruitment drives.
