Let me explain.
Israel left Gaza in 2005. Every settler. Every soldier. Hamas then seized the Strip, built the tunnels, stockpiled the rockets, and turned civilian neighborhoods into a weapons system.
On October 7, Hamas and its allies slaughtered about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, raped women, butchered families, and dragged more than 250 hostages into Gaza—including children. That started this war.
The blame-Israel machine was running before Israel had even mounted a full response.Israel then did what any country does after that: it went after the people who did it. Hamas hid among civilians and still will not disarm.
Even by its own figures, the civilian-to-fighter ratio in this war is lower than the urban battles people treat as the standard. Hamas chose the tactic that puts Gazans in front of its fighters.
Nevertheless, the useful idiots among us fall for the genocide rant. That is not genocide. That is a war Hamas started and refuses to end.
