Under U.S. pressure to prevent further mass casualties, Israel says it is being more precise as it widens its offensive into southern Gaza.

    Hamas initiated a war with a horrific military/terrorist attack on Israeli civilians on October 7. Sometimes when a belligerent starts a war, it ends up losing territory.

      Israel started a war with Palestinians with their occupation in 1967 (if we forget the whole Nakba thing).

      Look man, bad shit happens in war. Just don’t pretend to be the fucking good guy when your militant to civilian kill ratio is 1:3.

        According to Wikipedia the ratio for the October 7 attack was around that figure, yes:

        • 859 civilians
        • 282 soldiers
        • 57 policemen
        • 10 Shin Bet members

        Plus the rapes, tortures, and abductions.

          Yes we know, and that’s why we are all so curious to find out why you only give a shit about Israeli civilians. You cunt.

            I think we all know the answer to that question.

            They think there are no civilians in Gaza, only Hamas and other animals that need to be exterminated.

            I mean, an israeli spokesman on cable news wouldn’t even admit that Israel had killed babies in the mass bombings.

            So, if only hamas has been killed, and by the Israeli govts own talking points no other humans, then the ratio is like 15000 Militants : 0 Civilians.

            Probably the best war ever guys!
