Both sides kill children.
Only one side is documented as having trained snipers that target and kill children everyday for the past 18 months.

And the other side kidnapped children and slowly kills them. You can't forget the trigger event of Hamas kidnapping all those hostages, several of which have been Return as bodies. Both are fucking evil.
If your memory starts on October 6th 2024, then sure.
If you Kill children, regardless of your cause (which of a free Palestine I do support) your credibility is lost and you are evil. Fuck Hamas AND fuck Netanyahu. Both are fucking evil. I side with the innocent Palestinians AND the hostages. Everyone else can get fucked.
You think you have a nuanced take but it's actually pretty brain-dead and pointless. You are essentially saying you want status quo. If someone comes to your phone, rapes your grandmother, and murders your grandfather and expels your mum and dad and you,, later you see one of their kids, you beat them up, are you no equally as bad? Was it right to beat up a kid who may have had no part in it? Sure, but is it uncalled for and equally cruel? Absolutely not.
Nat turner killed children during his revolt. Would you say both slaves and slave owners was equally bad? Or you would say ending slavery is the only way for that to never happen and end of occupation with end Palestinians retaliations against Israelis?
If you kill children you are evil, end of story.
If you equate the oppressed and the oppressing you are evil, end of story
It's simple. Don't kill children!
Speaking of, what children? The "40 beheaded babies" which babies, I can give you a list of thousands of children with their names and ages of just the confirmed who are dead that goes on for many many minutes of non stop scrolling
It simple don't equate the colonizers and colonized
Both are fucking wrong when killing children. Stop trying to justify killing kids.
True, but scale is different. 3.2% vs 31% since October 7th based on the latest UN data from 2025 May 14.
The scale doesn’t matter. Both sides do kill children. The only innocent people here are the Palestinians Who don’t support Hamas
US kills children too. By that definition does every US citizen who supports US military is not innocent and is a valid target?
Yes
That would be a war crime, so I disagree.
You are definitely entitled to have your beliefs
You basically advocating for the killing of 85% in the West Bank and 64% in the Gaza Strip of Palestinians since they opposed the disarming of Hamas

I don't care about scale. If you have to kill children for your cause then you have lost all credibility.
Don't deflect you implied that most palestinians are not innocent so that give iarael right to kill ten thousands of people
I never said that. Israel is being evil too. But a lot of people on here want to justify one for the other. I don't care about scale or cause if your method kills children. Both are bad. There are people saying it's okay for Israel to bomb hospitals because of Hamas's actions and there are people justifying Hamas because of Israel's actions. I say fuck both.
Pure slime.
You started this thread with "Both sides kill children." No one was defending the actions of Hamas? By coming in and saying "well Hamas is bad too" underneath a thread about another massacre, you come off as a clear zionist tbh.
I'm guessing Israel is just defending itself and is at "war", right? Dead children is just a sad but unimportant consequence of what Israel is "forced to do".
There’s no “advocating” here, grow up
What does it mean that only does who not support hamas in anyway are innocent?
