Remember when the war was supposed to end when all the hostages were released?

I wonder what all the people who told me that the objective of this war was to free the hostages are going to tell me now?

Statistics for civilian to combatant death are like 9-1 and 7-1, there's having no choice and then there's committing warcrimes out of convenience. Bibi says its juuust 2-1, so according to him the majority of Hamas combatants are women and children right?

You know, we'd have better and more accurate statistics about casualties on the ground if the IDF weren't actively trying to keep a journalist/aid worker kill high score too. You don't have to support Hamas or the Palestinians but please don't try to justify the IDF's actions.

I'm not justifying anything. I'm saying "Hamas is commiting war crimes and that is bad." That is all I'm saying. There's been no justifiable actions on either side for decades now.
