Hamas has been unresponsive to overtures made in recent days to try to restart hostage negotiations, a source familiar with the efforts told CNN, as the US and other mediators try to resurrect talks that would see more hostages who were abducted on October 7 be released from captivity.
Kids throwing rocks at the people operating the open air concentration camp they’re detained in with the food, water, power, trade and movement restricted (at best) as Israel levels their homes, displaces and kills them? You’re right - I think there’s far bigger concerns than the kids throwing rocks.
What do you think it says about you that you’d use a few kids throwing rocks as justification for shooting, shelling, bombing, and starving thousands of children, innocent civilians, and turning every building in the area into said rocks?
I’m pretty sure kidnapping and killing thousands was the justification. Israel does detain people without charging them, but I find that the actual problem instead of the teenagers being charged with a crime in an actual court.
So Israel’s response to Hamas’ actions (a group Israel propped up over moderate secular orgs for reasons that definitely don’t involve manufacturing pretext for the genocide of people they’re keeping in an open air concentration camp) was a reasonable, proportionate one that’s killed what - 18k so far, potentially tipping Israel over the “10k children killed since October” line?
See, that’s the thing with genocide - it’s targeted - it just doesn’t care about civilians. When Israel is responsible for Hamas, both sides are wrong, but not in a remotely comparable way.
Of course, Israel is getting a little too trigger happy by genocidal standards too, killing shirtless Israelis, speaking Hebrew, waving white flags, after a ceasefire was called - and this is what they’re admitting to. The fact that Israel is killing journalists and barring access lets Israel get away with plenty.
Plenty more get killed by Israelis these days.
Oh so that makes it okay

No, it wasn’t quite as targeted as promised. Both sides can be in the wrong
