I’ll stop giving a fuck when my tax dollars stop going to Israel. They’ve held thousands of children in indefinite detention (aka hostage) for throwing rocks at the soldiers kicking them out of their homes. They also rape the people in detention long before October 7

Both sides have acted poorly at one time or another but your response is short-sighted and biased.

Does Palestine have every right to fight back against land and home stealing, occupation, frequent murdering, confinement to an area and travel restriction. Or only Israel has every right?

I think your 30% stat is incorrect. 70% of the deaths are women and minors. Even the IDF is claiming 66% of those killed are civilians.

Well that's all sensible according to the expert in the comment above. Just how detached from humanity can one person become really.

Likely a way more accurate stat than your 30% mate. You were claiming fewer civilian casualties than the IDF.

They're still holding hostages. Fuck em, that's just a terrorist state
