Hi Yuyutsu,

First and foremost what do you base your statistics on? In all wars the non combatants first and foremost have no control over their situation, they don't understand why they are the victims when the bombs start falling, despair, a feeling of helplessness, and loss of morale soon sets in. A prime example, Germans were very pro-war when the Nazis were having military success in the early days of WWII. BUT when the bombs started falling on German cities they quickly changed their view of the war, and wanted it to end.

"Some 25% first and foremost hate Israel, even more than they care for themselves, their families, their people or their religion."

That kind of resentment doesn't usually happen on it's own.
What is the likeliness that those people were slighted really badly?
Like something happened really bad,
- that sets in place a whole series of further events

A child whose parents were killed / maimed...
Fathers dead, mother can't take care of the child, the child has to take care of the parent, in a wheelchair, sister also dead, died of starvation and they exist in poverty.

Something that precipitates a sense of total enragement.
Something that precipitates a sense of unrelenting vengeance.

These people could be just radicalised Islamic militants;
- I dunno, but I think some of them could've been slighted really badly.
I'm not sure that level of animosity happens on it's own.

Dear Critic,

«That kind of resentment doesn't usually happen on it's own.»

No, but it is easily misdirected.

Armchair Critic,

The Palestinians have been offered time and time again a state of their own. They have refused the offer.

The question begs "Why?"

They were never offered a fair deal whitemouse...
Meanwhile the genocide continues unabated.

Airstrike from Israeli hostage rescue wipes out entire Palestinian family in Gaza border town

"The first thing he saw was a woman's arm that had been hurled across the street to the door of a neighboring mosque. It was his mother's. He dug through the rubble, pulling out body parts.
Later he went to the Youssef Najjar Hospital and identified the bodies of his mother and his father, Fawzi, an engineer. The body of his younger brother Mohammed had no head, but he recognized the clothes."

There's your 25% Yuyutsu
'Something that precipitates a sense of total enragement.
Something that precipitates a sense of unrelenting vengeance.'

Meanwhile, it's not enough for Israel to murder women and kids in Gaza, has to murder women and kids in other countries too?
- Just can't help themselves...

Mother, two children among Lebanese killed by Israel in air raids

You were happy about the 2 rescued hostages Yuyutsu, but you didn't mention the 7 innocent people Israel murdered to rescue them.

Israel is the name, Murder is their game.

Dear Critic,

«They were never offered a fair deal whitemouse...»

What stopped them from first taking what they were offered, which was quite a bit, then demanding more?

Simply put, they never wanted a state of their own.

«Mother, two children among Lebanese killed by Israel in air raids»

So you expect me to believe Aljazeera?

One (and not the only) of their "journalists" who proudly reported the atrocities of October 7th, was found to be a Hamas deputy company commander himself who personally participated in the massacre. He recently lost a leg in an Israeli drone attack and could lose the other one too, which will make it harder for him to run and murder more innocent Israelis and in an awkward position to rape them, assuming he still has what with.

«You were happy about the 2 rescued hostages Yuyutsu, but you didn't mention the 7 innocent people Israel murdered to rescue them.»

I have not and could not mention anything I had no knowledge of.

If your claim is correct, then I am happy for them as well, for had I been an innocent Gazan then I would prefer to be dead like them.

Also, murder requires intent, otherwise it can only be manslaughter, an act of self-defence or an accident. Have you any evidence of any intention other than to free the hostages and leave the place safely?
