“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

    It doesn’t matter. A defense is a defense. You can’t be stupid enough to seriously think they should just sit there and accept being under constant attack because the attacks aren’t very effective.

      It does matter, that is the basis of proportionate response. A defense is an offensive when you leave your borders. These things matter, even if you don’t care to believe so. Just like civilian deaths matter, no matter whose side is doing the killing. But 4000 kids dead and your still griping about what a raw deal Israel got. How broken can your mind be?

        Proportionate response only works when anyone in Gaza cares about proportions. Hamas is on record being willing to sacrifice their entire population in their quest to kill as many Jews as possible. I don’t think this war they started is going to end until their capacity to make war is ended.

        Fuck around, find out. This is the find out stage.

        Oh, also, the numbers on civilian casualties in Gaza are sourced from Hamas. So, they’re worth about as much as used toilet paper lmfao
