Which heinous gibbering cunt can look at photos of these poor injured kids and think “yep, doing good work right now”
I believe the lack of footage from gaza and the censorship of the press is doing a good job at keeping public opinion controlled. If pictures of dead kids would be on the news daily you will see a public outrage.

If they would only just kill adult men, it would be fine.
I don’t think that’s really the point. The point is that Israel is killing civilians including children, not soldiers.
Then why is there mention of “60% are women and children”?
Because both of these groups are non-combatants in most of the world, particularly so in this conflict because Hamas is an Islamist organization. 70% (this seems to be the accurate number) of casualties being women and children implies 70%< of casualties are civilians.
Oh, I see - adult men are combatants by default.
So, like I said, if only they would just kill adult men, it would be fine.
Israel in particular has mandatory military service for men, for 36 months.

Is there a corollary mandatory service for men in Gaza or for Hamas?
It’s incredibly hard to search this information, probably due to the English queries.
The point about women and children being definitively civilians in an active war zone doesn’t detract from the civilian men, nor is it worth this discussion.
