    When is enough, enough?

    At least 4,000 children have been killed in Gaza since the war began Oct. 7, the Gaza Health Ministry said Sunday. It added that 70 percent of the total death toll of 9,770 was women and children.

    About 1,250 children are missing, presumably buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, the UNWRA reported. On average one child has been killed and two have been injured every 10 minutes since the start of the Israel-Gaza war.

    You might want to ask Hamas that question…
    But If you ask me that, it’s when Hamas is no longer the governing body of Gaza.  
    Sure, got their number?
    Is that supposed 2 be some sort of joke?  
    I assume it is….I was just responding to your question, and you make a joke when countless of innocent people have been killed from this horrible situation.  Real classy, but no surprise.
    ”To the River To the Sea”
    You answered my question with an answer that I consider a joke. Let me know what the final tally is after the dust settles, will ya? I’m guessing 10:1 won’t be enough. 

    And by the way, you suggested I ask Hamas that question so I suppose the joke is on you.
    You really need to get a life…. STOP MAKING JOKES about this horrible situation.  You are not funny or clever
    You think anyone here is going to listen to anything you say given the way you conduct yourself with others? If you’re so offended, feel free to leave. Make this place slightly more civil.

    I haven't posted much on this topic as I really can't find the words.  It is easier when you pick a side ... but I just can't.  There is just so much wrong with this situation and TBH in that area of the world that it makes it hard ot know what is right.  

    I think the only thing that is certain is none of this...Hamas terrorism nor Israel's wide-spread response...is going to make anything better or easier in the Middle East.

    Yeah I’m feeling the sane way I’m not really well informed on Middle East conflicts at all! But I agree nothing good will come of all this death and destruction of civilian lives lost on both sides!

    Israel-Hamas war live: more than 10,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza since 7 October, says health authority

    Hopefully before our sun becomes a red giant in about 5 billion years (and later becomes a white dwarf).  But I wouldn't count on it.

    it is not going to. so long as there are not honest brokers involved.

    i have a feeling we are going to get sucked right back into the middle east with a large military presence. not just the us, but many of our allies.

    i am seeing israel repeating the exact same tactics we used in the war on terror. indiscriminate killing of civilians using the excuse that the terrorists are mingling with them as well. israeli leadership has learned nothing from our mistakes.

    no. it achieves a primary goal. reduce the population by either them leaving for safety or death.

    I can imagine northern Gaza will be completely leveled. wall or fencing severs it in half.  Israel annexes N.Gaza

    I think many can rightly argue Iran is already a big part of this given their backing of Hamas and Hezbollah. That was out there funding and material support those two "organizations" if you will,  would have a much harder way of things

    The idea that reducing civilian population is a primary goal is both Alex Jones level conspiratorial thought and yet squarely on the nose for this forum/thread

    And squarely evident that genocide is the goal.  The Hamas- which are a minority of Palestinians- need to go, no doubt, but the method and goal of Israel to eliminate the Hamas is to simply kill as many Palestinians as possible.  As Mickey pointed out, the Israeli leadership advocate genocide of the Palestinians.  And not only advocates genocide, but are carrying it out.  Much of the world knows this.  I don't think it's any secret.
