    Why do you think not wanting people to bomb children is simping for Hamas?

    Why do you think giving a shit about bombing thousands of children is ‘concern trolling’?

      One cannot bomb Hamas without bombing children because Hamas hides behind children. If one allows this to prevent tactical bombing, it’s now a tactical advantage, so expect more of it.

      They are keenly aware of the reaction that the inevitable deaths of children they caused will illicit in the media.

      Of course Hamas could be deposed without the bombing if Gazans did it themselves… It would be nice if they showed as much concern for their own children’s safety as they expect Israel to.

        So you see, we just have to bomb children. It’s the moral thing to do.

          It’s the same reason one doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. It’s not because the world doesn’t want the hostages returned safely, it’s to discourage the taking of future hostages by removing the advantage it confers. You let them successfully hide behind children and they will hide behind even more.
