Use of a population as human shields is a war crime by by Protocol I of the Geneva Convention. Using your own population should be a crime against humanity. Using hospitals, schools, and places of worship as shields is even worse. A. IDF warns civilians to leave buildings and areas before firing. B. Hamas tries to prevent them from leaving. <== your problem is here.

Worse, why hasn't Hamas been arrested for the horrific carnage they wreaked upon innocent Israelis? Had that happened, Hamas would not be using Hospitals as shields, and lots of people would still be alive. I don't need to believe anyone to understand logic.

Relevant question. Do you have real combat experience in dense urban warfare against a terrorist enemy willing to do literally anything no matter how inhuman and against all the rules of war? Did you learn how soldiers react in those conditions? The IDF conducted a full probe and condemned both the action and the soldier responsible. They also discussed what lead to it. In summary, paragraph A above. For detail you can read here.

and pathetic. Does he think the bombs that kill them were dropped by Hamas? You do know you are responding to a post whose author completely removed my full discussion and reasoning, leaving only a phrase that depends solely on the removed content. This is a good example how simplistic propaganda (out of context sound bite) can lead others, here you, to spread misinformation. Though honestly, yours also looks a bit like a simplest sound bite.

So short, simplistic, and many mistakes. No, not everyone knows, no, not everyone knows the same things, and I was not justifying the slaughter of 1000s. My point was about Hamas' treatment of humanitarian efforts. Fire at Israel from humanitarian camps, draw in fire to kill more civilians and human shields, then steal their aid anyway. So do you want to know why there are so many dead Gazans? Because Hamas.

As to why certain things are the way they are: The IDF said the Hamas terror group has fired at least 116 rockets from the recently designated al-Mawasi “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza toward Israel. [ref] MAP 38 of the projectiles fell short into the Strip. Not to mention frequent robberies of humanitarian goods from Gaza citizens.

When it's barbaric terrorists they are defiantly hostages. You keep forgetting things.

I did. Why didn't you do that with your Wapost article?, which turned out to be of suspicious origin, thanks to one of our best analysts.

I am not sure how that relates to the principle I cited, that overly simplistic views often arise from a lack of knowledge, and may also be a sign of propaganda. But I do notice your claim seems a bit simplistic. Some poll means some bad guys hate Gazans.

No, it's from science. One of Richard Feynman's favorites. If it's all simple and all looks the same then you don't understand it yet. Propagandist's will tell you it's very simple and everyone hates their enemy.

The more you learn and know about anything, the more diverse and complex it becomes. So, yeah, sure, all Gazans think alike. I would guess many are starting to question a lot of things.

35°C here today.

Did I say that? The lives of every Hamas terrorist is of prime significance. Any one left standing represents an existential threat, not just now but to mankind's future. Humans can no longer allow such horrific barbarism in the 21st century, especially killing their own children family as human shields purely for propaganda value. Ugh.

"At least 17,487 Palestinians have been killed since then, according to Gaza Health Ministry figures..." According to VOA, the GHM traditionally tries to make reasonable estimates but it is also difficult. Also: "The agency, however, does not differentiate the number of deaths as civilians or combatants."

Do you have any evidence for your numbers? Evidence as in factual or verifiable information.

My family is addicted to hiso drinks. Doesn't matter what it is, coffee, juice, vitamins. If it's sold in a real heavy plastic designer bottle, they by it. Four times the plastic waste.

It's well known that a healthy immune system can help fight against microbial disease. Saying it can fight off all viruses is contrary to known science. Our immune systems often have little immunity against new viruses that just crossed from nature (or lab) because we have never been exposed to them. That's how the adaptive immune system works. Little kids spend their time learning new diseases or now days getting lots of vaccines.

You are denying Covid (exactly as I described in my post) by saying your immune system and other things you do will protect you. Now you deny denying! What are you afraid of?

Rubbish misinformation, fire those 'researchers'. No virus can incubate inside a mask or anywhere outside a living creature because all viruses require being inside the cells of a living animal to replicate.

Grown adults constantly yelling in public they'd rather die than wear a mask and denying Covid can do anything to them doesn't sound like fear to you? Why would someone who took precautions, got vaxxed, and wears a mask in crowded places be fearful? Fearful of what? So who is really afraid? Pretty clear, isn't it.

Ukraine’s General Kyrylo Budanov, chief of military intelligence operations has the greatest means and opportunity to get at Putin and his cronies. He's responsible for many attacks in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia. Now he's got the motive. His wife was just poisoned with toxic heavy metals. Almost certainly Putin, from his decades long spree of assassinating enemies with poison in and out of Russia. (Yes, Ukraine has accused Russia). ref Other events in Moscow could spell the end of Putin's war, particularly if he starts locking up wives of soldiers or further abusing Russian citizens.

Exactly what I want to know too. The truth is misinformation is now so great that few have a clue what is real. Common sense is now your best defense, and ignoring what is not backed by reliable information. Does anyone really believe millions died from vaccines with no verifiable evidence?

Breaking. Venezuela's president Maduro has announced that the Esequiba Region of Western Guyana (most of Guyana) is now officially a territory of Venezuela. Oil expeditions are in the planning stage. Never mind that Western Guyana is a totally sovereign country. The pattern is clear, Putin wants to ignite World hot spots like Iran/Yemen, Iraq, Gaza, Venezuela, North Korea, where he has been meddling for decades. Did I miss Ukraine? This is what Western weakness has bought with Putin. Now the only path to a peaceful world is one without Putin. https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1732211571282132998

The title "Quietly quadrupled" since 2 months ago... ... is accurate and exactly describes a low level of Covid creeping up over time, and helps alert higher risk people, e.g., older folks with weaker immunity who are constantly exposed to crowded places, etc. Maybe save them a nasty bout of long Covid. Maybe the author deserves a Covid reporting Pulitzer.

Perhaps Hamas should not be using all those people to hide behind, no? Hamas may be the worst case of death by human shield the world has ever seen.
