Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

    You just don’t get to throw up your hands and say “thats war.” This is not normal and should in no way be normalized (as you seem to be attempting to do.)

      You’re ignoring the main points and attacking a straw man again.

          Reasoning? Critical thinking? Logic? Seeing things as complex rather than one side is 100% correct and the other is 100% at fault? Answering to the point instead of bombastic statements or disinformation aimed to trigger emotional responses?

          Stop behaving like a fanatic.

            Hey you’re the one who is suggesting we redefine what childhood is to excuse more of Israel’s crimes.

              You keep attacking straw men.

              There are children soldiers and Gaza. There are 16 and 17 years old (and younger) that have active combative roles. You don’t have to look far to find them, just go to the Hamas and Gaza social media profiles and see the profiles of their operatives.

              It’s deplorable, it’s tragic, but it’s the reality.

              I’m not redefining childhood and I’m not supporting killing of children. I do say that when reading these kind of reports you should be aware that they show only a part of the information.

                I don’t have social media. Provide me with some screenshots then.

            It’s neither reasonable nor logical to justify the murder of innocent children. And yet here you are…
