Israel must be so proud, murdering starving and defenseless people.

Hamas' priority is missiles, not food or defenses.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They claim it is in response to the attack by Hamas, but their previous actions lead me to believe they were just looking for an excuse.

defenseless people.

They fired over 8500 rockets at Israel in the last three weeks.

No, Hamas did that.

The civilians, babies, children etc didn't and starving them because of this is a war crime.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Hamas did that, not civilian Palestinians.
