Further response to the NYT article.....

"Shooting women in the vagina. Gang raping a woman while slicing her apart.
Tying up & raping teenagers
Repeatedly stabbing a woman while raping her
These are not actions of oppressed people.
This is not freedom fighting.
This is not resistance.
These are vicious acts of barbarity and cruelty fed by a sick combination of misogyny and hatred of Jews "

mhaze,

How about giving us the actual link that you've taken
this data from - so we can read it for
ourselves?

Is the above, as terrible as it is, is that your justification for the indiscriminate killing of innocent Palestinian women and children by the Israelis. The deliberate murder of non-combatants is a war crime, there's no two ways about it, as it has been said before the Israelis are targeting innocent civilians as collective punishment for the crimes committed by Hamas against innocent Israelis. Its unfortunate you try and justify war crimes, even though you are an obvious defendant of the Israeli action in Gaza, regardless.

Foxy,

You are full of facile homilies.

The definition of an aggressor is "a person or country that attacks another first."

In this case, it is clearly Hamas, and Gazans are victims of Hamas more than Israel.

Shadow Minister,

You need to go and study the history of this conflict.
It did not begin on October 7th.

Foxy,

I am fully versed in the local history even pre-1900. It would appear that you are not.
