Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    Of course they are also the victim. Hamas slaughtered adults and children with no remorse. Now Israel is returning the favor.

    Both sides are aggressors and victims.

      If someone shoots your dog and then you go to their house and shoot their dog. Are you justified? Perhaps. But you are still shooting a dog. And that makes you a dog killer.

      2 wrongs do not make a right. Never will.

        Isn’t that what the commenter above you just said.

        both sides are the victims and the aggressors.

        So Israel, when Hamas terrorists murdered and raped hundreds of women, children, and men, and took hundreds of hostages, should have done…… what? Just gone “ah damn, that sucks”?

        How many Americans were killed by Nazi Germany vs the other way around?

        Intentions and moral frameworks matter, not only the sheer numbers of casualties.
