The other issue is that those children will see Israel as the ones that bombed them and killed their family and will be more likely to join Hamas in the future. Further perpetuating this insanity.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

I'm starting to think this is a feature, not a bug...

I honestly don’t understand how more world leaders are not condemning Israel’s actions.

Killing innocent people should be wrong whoever is doing the killing. Rishi Cuntface Sunak refuses to ask for a ceasefire because they have the right to defend themselves, like what? Does that mean some of the innocent victims have a right to hit back at Israel.

And that's how Hamas was born.
