I did NOT say, the Palestinians responsible for Oktober 7 should not be damned.

I only criticized that one side is continuously damned and the other faces no criticism.

   Are you seriously claiming that Israel hasn't faced any criticism ?

Seem alike Israel has faced 90 % of the criticism and Hamas have a free pass and that Hamas actions are somehow Israel's fault .

   Israel is getting all the criticism , Palestinians are regarded as being the victims

When it comes to western media it is more the other way round.

Plus stories, like the one from the 40 babies or the baby with the umbilical cord, even when debunked by Israeli media or authorities, are rarely clarified in wester media.

The BM referred to kids. A kid is defined as under 18.

 

The Israeli health organisation announced the exact number of victims and age groups:

those under 18 killed - as horrible as it is - were less than 40

The exact details are irrelevant .

Hamas committed numerous extreme  inhumane atrocities and war crimes and rape and murder ,

   The number of babies that died really isn't that important .

Numerous innocent woman and children were targeted and murdered and even worse . 

   Extreme atrocities were committed by the Palestinians , the exact numbers of those atrocities  are rather irrelevant

   Wrong : A "kid" means a young person , doesn't have to be under 18

This is exactly the kind of comment that extreme left wing antisemites spout. Making a pedantic point as to whether or not a youngster of 19 or 20 can be called a kid. Stop being an apologist for Hamas; stop trying to deflect from, and diminish the importance of, the most barbaric terrorist attack in modern history.

 

Stop apologising for Palestinian terrorists and regurgitating their propaganda; contemptuous again.

   That was clarified and explained soon after the event . 

Did you not see it ?

A French journalist made the report in French and it was translated into English .

   The journalists used the word "Babies" to denote that all the Kibbutz's Mothers had their babies killed .

  Quite often , people refer to their Children as their babies .

It was reported and clarified at the time , you must have missed it
