Perhaps Hamas could stop using their own population as human shields, vacate from hospitals, let Palestinians leave the north of Gaza and release the hostages. But they will never do that. They will keep using Palestinians as meat shield and their deaths as propaganda, diverting humanitarian aid to fund terrorism, using women as terrorist bombers, telling children to thrown rocks (which are deadly) at IDF soldiers so they as "martyrs" and sabotaging any possibility of peace because peace is an existential threat for Hamas.

Then I resort to my original comment: Then just not fucking bomb the children. Their blood is on Israeli hands just as much as Hamas, don't try to weasel out of it.

That you're comparing children throwing rocks to using advanced military equipment to bomb them back says a lot about your values. As if doing the first in any way excuses doing the second.. A child being told to throw rocks doesn't know any better, and doesn't deserve to die for it. Holy crap some of you are out of touch with humanity.

So what do you suggest? That Israelis do nothing? It doesn't matter if it's a huge rock to the head or a laser beam as both are lethal. Unless you have a realistic suggestion of the IDF should do differently you're just being a coward, signaling virtue without having to be virtuous from the comfort of your home.

> Then just not fucking bomb the children.

Do you think the IDF is purposefully looking for children to bomb so they can look bad? Hamas use children as human shield and their deaths as propaganda.

Do you want to help Palestinian children? Condemn Hamas for using children as shield. Condemn Iran & Russia for funding Hamas. Condemn Qatar for giving asylum to Hamas leaders. Stop romanticizing "Palestinian resistance" (evil adults sending children to stupid deaths).

I've condemned Hamas multiple times in these comments. But not once have I seen you condemn IDFs killing innocent children. I've actually mostly seen you defend it. Which to me is sickening. I'm not gonna reply to you anymore, as I don't want to engage with terrorist sympathizers.

It's for the best if all you have to contribute are personal attacks and nonsensical accusations.
