One point I really want to emphasise is that I have said from the outset that the Hamas attack was outrageous & I have not blamed Israel for wanting to retaliate against them.
My objection is attacking Palestinians. Yes, Hamas are embedded there, yes it is difficult to differentiate at times, but they must do so.
My last comment is back to genocide. Israel attacked Gaza knowing that the vast majority of deaths would not be Hamas members. They also attacked the road going South after they suggested that people move South to be safe – again guaranteeing that civilians would die. Today they tracked the border region with Egypt – with the full knowledge that many people were gathering there looking to cross when/if the border was opened. Again, they know that many civilians will die.
This is not a competition (for you JI), but for the last 30 years we have seen many more Palestinian civilians being killed than Israelis.
It is all very sad, and I fear the worst is yet to come.
