Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children…

It is also a major tactic by Hamas to sway public opinion by people that know no better. One that has been admitted too for decades. Hamas struck first with a terrible atrocity, they knew what would happen yet they did it anyway. It is on their hands that the blood drips from.
Calling people human shields because they are in their own home as a pretense to bomb them is a war crime.
If a terrorist holds a baby, do you shoot the baby? Well, Israel would be ready to shoot a handful just to kill one person slightly affiliated with Hamas*.
Here is an article where IDF shot a woman and child with any kind of warning of military activity in the area. Worse yet there were no Hamas belligerentsin the area.
Imagine what humanity could do if we used our resources for humanitarian purposes.

Such as Hamas using their tunnels for food and medicine instead of missiles from Iran?
The world I imagine wouldn’t need tunnels, or land grabs or genocide.
You are an idiot if you think Israel has the monopoly on any of those things.

Pointing fingers at a bad thing to distract from a horrific thing seems like a bad tactic.
If you think the conflict over Palestinians’ right to clean water and electricity started with Hamas, you may already be confused, though.
So is targeting civilians

I have a hard time believing that the 30,000 Hamas were hiding behind 300,000 people.

They do use their tunnels to smuggle in food and water. But its not enough and they shouldn’t have to
