Yes, we Americans committed many atrocities in our many wars and we will absolutely do so in the future. Please learn from us instead of following our path.

They are not doing the same as America are they? They are not perfect but it just depends who you trust as a source in this war. All the stats either come from Hamas or IDF. People choose to believe the Hamas statistics all day and take a blind eye to what IDF is doing. Also big contrast is they are defending themselves. Im not talking only about Oct 7. Even before that Hamas sent bombs for many years before that. Imagine going to work and seeing bombs above ur head and all the world saying it is what it is you can’t attack them back or do anything about it.

War crimes do not justify war crimes.

>>Also big contrast is they are defending themselves.

Yes, I'm sure Israel shooting all of those kids in Gaza is just self defense - after all, they can't grow up to become terrorists if they are dead already.

Like, I know this is an extreme example, but this isn't anywhere near as black and white as you present. Israel has done a lot of shit to Gaza over many many many decades, and while it doesn't justify terrorist acts towards Israel, many people could argue that Palestinians are also defending themselves in many ways.

Your source is Tehran Times. Have you considered that Iran is the one financing this war and wanting this war and you are quoting it as a reputable source? Also I don’t wanna see any child harmed in any way, and you have to consider the Hamas terrorists are using them as meat shields. The way I see it, the longer the terrorists have power, the more children they are going to harm, Palestinian and Israeli children alike.

Sorry, I grabbed the first link for it from google, because I read this story before and I didn't have the original article, here's where I read it first:

I'll replace the tehran times link now.

Hamas literally asked for investigation by independent international organizations. Israel refused. Tells all what needs to be said about that illegal terrorist rogue state that it Israel.
