    But the News is telling me Israel are the good guys and what they’re doing is not a war crime.

      Show me on the Christianity where it says death to all non-believers…

        Sure, it says it right here:

        Deuteronomy 13:6-11

        6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them. 9 You must certainly put them to death. Your hand must be the first in putting them to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone them to death, because they tried to turn you away from the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.

          Yeah, but like, show me some real examples in 2023. Because we’re looking at a movement in Hamas that literally wants all non-believers executed. Like, show me the equivalent Christian or any other denomination equivalent of what Hamas leadership put out a few days ago. Radical Islam’s “take no prisoners” approach to its proliferation is at odds with civilized society. Weapons tech is catching up with this problem though. Going to be an interesting future.

    Will there be proportional outcries for the loss of these civilians by the Israeli apologists?

    Of course not.

    I’m also sure this will totally not make more terrorists out of the surviving family members…

        Upvoted, thanks for keeping me grounded. That’s compelling. As much blame as I give Israel in all this I don’t see that being an air strike after watching countless videos from Ukraine. I think Israel does have low-yield bombs, considering their “roof knockers,” and this could be secondary (eg, someone hauling gas/propane.)

        Nevertheless I agree Hamas has more to gain in framing Israel here.
