The discussion in this war is absurd. First. Israel acted selflessly to live in peace with the Palestinians in Gaza. It was more than a decade ago when Israel itself relocated thousands of individuals living in Gaza with lethal force from their homes to follow the agreement, which obligated the Palestinians in return to stop any kind of aggression towards Israel. The Palestinians had the chance to build a safe, functional, and prosperous livelihood. But the first thing the Palestinians did in return was to elect a government that enshrined the goal of destroying Israel in their constitution. The elected government followed through with its promise. Since its founding, thousands of rockets have flown into Israel. Dozens of civilians died in terrorist attacks. Millions of aid funds - intended for civilian purpose - were misused to build rockets, tunnels, and other nonsense. The crimes committed on October 7th like raping women, killing children, or kidnapping a baby, was Humus has been doing for years. Secondly. Israel behaved more humanely in this conflict than any other conceivable party in any imaginable conflict. It allowed Palestinians to work in Israel, receive medical care or even migrate into their country. During war, they warn civilians where their military is operating. They admit collateral damage and apologize for it. They saved Sinwar’s life giving him a lethal brain surgery. They treated the daughter of Haniyyas daughter for her complex disease in Israel. While Humus was building rockets and tunnels with all the foreign aid, Israel supplied their civilians with free water and electricity. The situation is clear. In no other conflict the responsibility for the suffering has been so one sided and clear - in no other conflict have the perpetrators been held accountable so weakly. People with voice and power who claim to reject war have the duty to unequivocally name the culprit of this war and do everything in their power to eliminate them. Everything else is responsibility for the resulting suffering and will extend it.

@@steelytemplar Palestinian authority is Hamas

[@vervetech9395]

​@@krmon1992Reality says opposite. Most of Palestine is governed by the Palestinian Authority. That's what's recognized internationally not Hamas. So get that right

[@steelytemplar]

@krmon1992 No, the Palestinian Authority is the other ruling Palestinian faction - the one that governs the West Bank and which is interested in peaceful coexistence with Israel. Hamas isn't the legitimate government of anyone. They were elected into power in 2006 based on promises of reducing corruption. And, based on exit polls, a significant portion of the Gazans who voted for Hamas in that election also wanted to pursue a peace process with Israel. Once in power, however, Hamas used violence to solidify their control in Gaza, and they no longer allow elections. The Palestinian Authority and Hamas are enemies of each other. The Palestinian Authority is the way forward for peace.

[@RicardoLopez-ub2hs]

genocide accusation is false. gaza population is 2 million. assume 40 thousand palestinians dead (a high estimate). 40 thousand/ 2million means 2% of gaza population dead due to war. Don't forget war started by hamas on oct 7.
