    I think Israel is doing exactly the opposite of ignoring the mindless murdering of their innocent families.

      So if terrorist government A kills civilians, it’s okay for murderous government B to take revenge by killing more civilians? Why does it matter where these people live, the only thing that matters is to stop killing them, depriving them of their freedoms and rights and hey, maybe even try to give them a happy life?

        Government B’s primary goal is not to kill civilians. A’s is. This is not a numbers game, it matters why and in what context things are done.

          Ends do not justify means. Killing civilians, especially children, is abhorrent.

            Yes war is indeed bad. That’s why Israel tried to avoid war.

      Youcve counted and compared the deaths of Israelis to Palestinians, plus considered the Palestinian children locked up with no rights or appeals etc. for at least 3 generations?

          “I think Israel is doing exactly the opposite of ignoring the mindless murdering of their innocent families.”

          For you, it indeed sounds like a tit-for-tat kill-for- kill system. If we were doing that, which we aren’t and shouldn’t be, then there’d need to be a lot more dead Israelis to balance the playing field. Obviously you can see why that is a horrendous idea.

            Well, if we’re going to the numbers, do remind me, how many Israeli civilians have died due to IDF using them as human shields? And what does that very low number tell you?

            This is one of the many reasons why it’s completely pointless to play the numbers game in this war.

              Dude, I’m agreeing. You’re the one who’s making it out to be some sort of tit for tat kill for kill for scenario.
