[Untitled]

A study conducted by an Israeli sociologist and discussed in Haaretz has found that the majority of casualties in Israel's air strikes were civilians:

another investigation by an israeli journal has found evidence of deliberate attacks on civilian targets - referred to as "power targets" by the IDF and including things like apartment blocks:

Is the IDF lying when they say they want to reduce civilian casualties?

Must admit I've not taken to much notice of this war because of the long history. But didnt we have the same problem in Afganistan, you cant tell the difference between a Hamas fighter and a civilian? But like I say I'm not up to speed.

[anneasquith]

What percentage are children.?

no point in discussing the dreadful situation on this site, I think it's been called casualties of war .

[ynnafymmi]

Whats all this"Hamas fighter"all about.Remember"Hamas terrorist bastrad"next time,nicey.

I think if an Israeli pilot had children in his bomb sights he could safely assume they weren't Hamas.

But if they're working on the principle, 'Kill the nits and you won't have lice', then anything that moves in Gaza is fair game.

[nicebloke1]

You need to calm down 17.14  I already know what they are. You are a good example of why I have avoided this debate for weeks now.

[ynnafymmi]

@17.19.Yes,and you need to be less disingenuous.Call out these Hamas terrorists as they are,they are not"fighters"they are terrorist bastrads.

[sandyRoe]

It didn't start on Oct 7th.

 It started more than 70 years ago.

[anneasquith]

In future ( when this war) is over, how will Israel be supported and viewed , indeed with the help of America ?

[ynnafymmi]

Nah,this latest batch of blood-letting was started by the Hamas terrorists on 7th October 2023,sandy.

This silly talk of having children in their bomb sights. Israelis aren't targeting children.  Why are children even still in those areas anyway?  Isn't it encumbent upon Hamas to protect its own?  If they are the victims of war Hamas must look to itself for an explanation.  You seem to have forgotten that  Hamas didn't just have children in its sights - it slaughtered them with its bare hands in cold blood and still holds infant hostages.  Big, brave freedom fighters?  I don't think so.   Barbarians all.  

[sandyRoe]

You're entitled to your opinion, wrong though it is.

[naomi24]

Who are you talking to sandyRoe?
