Hamas has fired more than 12,000 rockets at Israel since October 7th and continues to fire hundreds more every day. The only reason they haven’t killed more people is because Israel has invested in the Iron Dome air defense system.
You’re also forgetting that on October 7th they raped and slaughtered and burned their way through every Jew they could get their hands on, men, women and children, killing more than 1,300 in the process. The only reason they didn’t carry on their slaughter was because the ‘evil’ IDF stopped them.
The ability to defend is part of the power we are speaking of though. That's like saying Israel doesn't have power because if it didn't have power it wouldn't have power. The point stands that because of this ability of defense and superior security, Hamas doesn't do much damage. The same cannot be said of the other side. We are not arguing about Hamas being evil or not, we are arguing about how much damage can they make given the power of Israel. The threat is not existential bu any means.
Tell that to the 1,300 dead Jews, tortured, gunned down, burned alive, gang-raped, in the worst act of Jew-slaughter since the Holocaust.
If you're reducing this down to sheer numbers, you don't understand this conflict.
Oh great, so now we've got a Holocaust denier here. Great. What a great place Lemmy is for Jews.
You're blocked. I don't talk to Holocaust deniers.
this isn't Holocaust denial
