is that Hamas uses their own people as human shields. They shoot rockets at Israeli civilians while their leaders hide underground in safe bunkers. They want to see those children die for propaganda. And they are parading the hostages they kidnapped in the streets so the adults at least support the terrorists.


Hamas calls for the killing of all Jews worldwide. After being hunted and killed for 5,000 years we just want to be left alone. But that isn't happening.

And if you support "Palestinians' right to self-determination" as I do (I am pro two-state solution) this has set that back 50 years.

Because the Israeli far right will now be able to say "See this is who they are. They aren't interested in peaceful coexistence they are trying to wipe us off the map." And under the guise of broken clocks are right twice a day they kinda have a point.
