Do you shoot back or do you sit around like the cops did and wait till the killer gets bored, runs out of ammo, or runs out of victims.

How many Israelis have been killed by Hamas rockets ever much less since October 7th? Maybe if Israel didn’t have a concentration camp outside of their city walls they wouldn't have to worry about the threat of retribution? Better analogy is the Uvalde shooter also starved and killed kids in the school for generations. Then some of the starving children started throwing sharpened pencils. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 19 child comments load more comments (19 replies) [–] Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (2 children) Just look up how many hundreds of thousands of Palestinians Israel has killed in the last 30 years.
