[–] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (4 children) Better analogy would be the killer in uvalde using a kid as a human shield while also shooting into the other classrooms trying to kill other kids. 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. Just look up how many thousands of rockets and mortars Hamas has launched at seemingly random targets in Israel since October 7th. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago* (6 children) Better analogy would be the killer in uvalde using a kid as a human shield while also shooting into the other classrooms trying to kill other kids.

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.

[–] Prunebutt@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Just look up how many thousands of rockets and mortars Hamas has launched at seemingly random targets in Israel since October 7th. Now, if only both parties would just cease firing for a moment. Has anyone thought of that? And if: has any governmet refused to offer/accept such ceasing of firing? /s permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children) If you think you can get Hamas, an organization who states goal is to kill every Israeli, to agree to an abide by a cease fire, go for it.
