Easy, the ones fighting from tunnels, hospitals, schools and anywhere else there are civilians to use as human shields

Just one more thing : Israel is in no way above criticism , and to call someone an ' antisemite ' because he , or she , dares to critizise Israel , is not correct .

 

 

   No one has been called an anti Semite though , just for criticising Israel

I don't care if you believe me. It's facts.

I wonder whether Thai soldiers will reply by taking a photo of themselves in the deep South holding an Israeli flag ?

  So, wheres you proof that 30 000 civilians have been killed ?

 

    30 000 killed , about 13 000 Hamas members and the rest civilians. 

 

 

 

 

 

Only 17,000 untargeted civilians dead in Gaza. That's okay then. Against 1,139 killed in the Hamas attack. I'm sure Israel is thrilled with your support.

   Its a war, civilians get killed in all wars .

Do you expect Israel to any different to every other Country ?

The enemy combatant/civilian death ration is very low , some claim to be the lowest on record , that is the number of civilian killed compared to enemy combatants .

   The ration is often 4 civilians killed to one enemy combatant

It is a war that Hamas started, maybe a little bit of thought should have gone into slaughtering innocent civilians, now they are losing they are crying 'it's not fair', well war is not fair, people die because of these barbaric zealot extreme nutjobs. Is your idea of war that we kill 1200 of your citizens so we'll call it even by you killing the same number of ours......it does not work like that!

Read what the experts in urban warfare say:

 

Israel Implemented More Measures to Prevent Civilian Casualties Than Any Other Nation in History | Opinion

The reality is that when it comes to avoiding civilian harm, there is no modern comparison to Israel's war against Hamas. Israel is not fighting a battle like Fallujah, Mosul, or Raqqa; it is fighting a war involving synchronous major urban battles. No military in modern history has faced over 30,000 urban defenders in more than seven cities using human shields and hiding in hundreds of miles of underground networks purposely built under civilian sites, while holding hundreds of hostages.

Despite the unique challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas, it has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history.

That's war for you, don't like it don't star one, but if you do please Hamas stop making up nonsense about 'genocide' or 50k babies being blown up etc

Put that flag away boy. There will be no genocide on behalf of the tolerant and peaceful people of Thailand. And a genocide it is. What is going on in Palestine now has nothing to do with self defence, it is ethnic cleansing, and if you are defending it then you are no better than the wehrmacht during ww2, or putins butcherers in Ukraine.

Young Israeli tourists in Thailand have been some of the most obnoxius and entitled folk it's ever been my displeasure to observe. It seems to be a rite of passage rather like the IDF.

Obviously, a Hamas card-carrying member.

How do you know how many killed are civilians and how many are Hamas fighters?

 

All the numbers coming out of Gaza is Hamas bs, no doubt many civilians killed but how many ? And how many killed by Israel and how many by Hamas themselves ?

 

13000 Hamas fighters Is an estimation of US and Israel, it is not the factual number.

 

It is a no doubt ugly war, however Hamas are 100% responsible , and they are responsible for civilian deaths even assuming they are not using civilians as human shields. 
 

facts 

1. Hamas started the war

2. Hamas never made any provisions or took any steps to protect its population , not a single bob shelter was built.

3. Hamas fighting war within civilian populace, they have not formed battalions to face IDF head on but hiding in residential areas 

4 Hamas leadership are worth 3-4 BILLION dollars each and yet not only all living outside in luxury but have not donated any of their ill gotten money, expecting and demanding for everyone else to pay 

5. Hamas brought on catastrophe on its people and yet they are still making demands for a ceasefire

[PingRoundTheWorld]

Probably photoshopped. Why would an Israeli soldier hold a Thai flag? it makes no sense. To begin with HOW would a soldier get a Thai flag in Gaza to begin with? I wouldn't know how to get a Thai flag in Israel even with free movement - but a soldier confined to service in Gaza? unlikely.

 

More likely is that it's an Israeli flag, and the <deleted> who twitted it photoshopped it, in line with the Palestinian propaganda machine - lying is no problem for them as long as it's in line with "the cause".

You have to be a real basketcase to compare actual ethnic cleansing with collateral damage. Israel has never targetted civilians and has been taking measures to minimize civilian casualties throughout the entire war. The only ethnical cleansing happening is in your imagination.

 

Let's put it this way: if Israel really wanted to commit ethnical cleansing it would've been over in a matter of days and gaza would've been turned into a parking lot. It's taking this long exactly because of trying to balance collateral damage with finding and destroying Hamas.

 

Amazing how people babble on about Israel when just next door in Syria 20x the people have died and millions have been displaced. Ukraine is a mess. The party keeps on in various states in Africa. Yemen is basically a 2 governments state sponsored by Iran. And the list goes on. What's so special about Israel? because they're Jews?

   Was you around in 1944 when Hitler was in Berlin in Germany surrounded by allies and with a few thousand  Nazis left in Berlin ?

   Would you have given the same advice ?

Tell the Allies that's enough and  end the war and leave Hitler and his Nazis in Berlin and finish the war in 1944 with Hitler still leader of Germany ?

We have completely lost our way, not surprisingly we are part of the we.  Love everyone have a nice day.

You only have to look at Saddam Hussein and his invasion of Kuwait, after forcing him back, they made the mistake of leaving him in power in 1990/1991 after the invasion, and then had to come back and do it all again in 2003.

 

They tried no-fly zones, containment, safe zones for persecuted Kurds, everything........all to no avail.

 

They had to return and cut the head off the snake.

 

Yes, it's sad and unpalatable, the civilians suffer as they always do in conflicts.

 

It's terrible, but under the current Hamas regime, as soon as the boys get into their teens they are recruited into the continuing cycle and hate campaign, by Hamas. The only thing taught to the civilians is to hate Israelis.

 

World Aid, UNICEF, and food and health programs, unless direct food and medicines aid, the money is always diverted elsewhere to fund bombs and armaments. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN!

The powers that be here (lol) will likely be up in arms at this picture because little boy Putin could find out and tell them off, or more than likely because the Thai flag is not held above the dude's head. 

[cowellandrew]

I think as long as the Thai flag is bigger than the Israeli flag, raise the colours high!

The way world's opinion of Israel at the moment, no matter what hey will hold in their hands,

anything and everything will not look good, the world forgot the authorities Hamas inflected on 

hapless people back in 7.10, now they all feel sorry for rapists and murderers and the people who

support them,  It's fickle crazy world out there with very selective memory...

No one has forgotten the atrocities and the Israeli people have a right to retaliate. Unfortunately, their retaliation has turned to vengeance upon the helpless. The average Palestinian that is struggling to survive has become Hamas in the current vengeance mode. 2 things can be true at the same time. Lastly, this vengeance will only create more terrorists via the murder of innocent Palestinians. Including the children in the hospital that have died due to said vengeance. So, wake up. Israel, in its quest for vengeance, will only create more terrorists with a clear picture of what happened to the average Palestinian.

   About half of those 30 000 people were Hamas terrorists , the group reasonable for the Oct 7 terror attack .

   Hamas are indeed responsible for the near famine, because they steal much of the aid food sent in 

So the 50% women and children and innocents killed are irrelevant?

Israel is also preventing a lot of aid getting to Gaza... they control the crossings.
