      This is as terrible an argument as when republicans point to maps showing huge swathes of land colored red as if it’s land that votes instead of the smaller blue areas of land filled with way more people (i.e. actual voters) and claiming that republicans are underrepresented. Lives are what matter and it’s clear who is doing more killing.

        You didn’t answer them. Why don’t unsuccessful attempts to blindly and indiscriminately murder Israelis count?

          Did I ever say they don’t count? The point is that both Israel and Hamas violated the “truce”, making it a stretch to say there was an actual truce prior to October 7th.

          Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians suffer as a result of the exchanges between the IDF and Hamas.

          Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about their civilians.

          Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about killing civilians to achieve their goal.

          But the IDF has been doing this for far longer than Hamas and helped to create them in the first place.
