[@alysiaduemler2221]

You use a fake Hamas terrorist number terrorists lie and the strategy is to make Palestinians die so they get sympathy and make Israelis stop fighting due to international pressure so they are able to murder all hostages including Americans and all Israeli people as per the Hamas goal they tried October 7 and keep saying they’ll do it again, it’s been around 9,000 civilians dead many half mics the rest of the 20,000 TERRORISTS which is remarkable in urban warfare way better than global average of 9:1 civilians to combatants ratio. But you’re an antisemite and not a military person so facts probably don’t matter to you just propaganda and hate but I sincerely pray you try love

That's a conflation bias. Both can be true. Don't minimize one to push your bias. Both are wrong.
