Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

This is how you ensure there's another generation of radicalized individuals to have to combat.

Not if you kill them all...

A common thing to do back in the day was to not only kill the king, but the members of his family. (Especially the sons). It's brutal, but effective

(And obviously humans should be above that in 2023, but here we are)

Netanyahu quoted from First Samuel 15:3, saying, “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. ‘Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys’”

The invocation of this biblical passage serves not only as a historical reference but also as a genocidal lens through which the Prime Minister views the current conflict.

It's tragic how often the abused become the abusers.

I've has mixed feelings about this conflict for a while now. On one hand I understand the need to preserve a people, culture and way of life especially given that aformentioned people was nearly exterminated in the wost ways. On the other hand... wt actual f. Little children don't support Hamas. They're blameless in this, and to murder so many innocents just to get to the enemy is sickening
