Death Tolls in the Gaza Conflict

So it seems that Hamas are the ones actually targeting soldiers while the Isrealis are the ones targeting civilians. Fancy that.

It seems to me that Hamas is hiding their weapons and ammunition in civilian populated areas. Like it or not, Israel has a right to attack those areas. The death of those innocents is the responsibility of Hamas.

Numbers dont lie, you need to show some proof that Hamas is hiding their weapons behind women and children, your word wont cut it.

Quoting some death stats from HuffPost does not make you some kind of iconic philosopher of what is moral or immoral in regards to a senseless war that has raged for over half a century. According to the Principles of the Just War Israel has every right to hit military areas it legitimately suspects threatening their citizens.
 

So youve got nothing to back your propaganda up other than half baked philosophy. Got it.
 
Untrue, and to say the least, Disingenuous.
The reason Israeli casualties are mostly soldiers is that the War is now IN Gaza, since Hamas WAS targeting civilians, Israel invaded to stop it.

Also I believe someone else previously pointed out your intentional misspelling of Israel as 'Isreal'.
You understand this is used as an affront I'm sure.

Deflection. What civilians was Hamas targeting prior to the war?

What?
This is Incoherent. Random Rockets at Israel IS targeting Civilians.
I was pointing out WHY the casualties are as they are NOW.
It's completely relevant.

As a matter of fact the burden is on YOU to Prove Israel is TARGETING Civilians rather than incurring casualties by collateral damage or mistake in Urban Warfare.
and as we all know, You Cannot because it simply isn't true.

Also I believe someone else previously pointed out your Intentional MIsspelling of Israel as 'Isreal'.

Fitting handle btw.

Very misleading argument. Hamas has unguided munitions so they cant target civilians or military, all they can do is fire it hoping it hits something. Isreal has got smart munitions but they have killed more civilians than Hamas fighters, your response is a total fail.

I don't like wasting my time with puny, juvenile arguments. READ, get informed; Gaza’s Netherworld - Lower Gaza is holding Upper Gaza hostage. It’s time to end the ordeal.

From the Principles of a Just War - The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target. [Bold is mine]

As Hamas is storing and using weapons in civilian areas, such areas unfortunately become legitimate targets. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killed how many innocent civilians? Dresden anyone?

So you admit that the Isrealis do target civilians because they are in the way then. Thanks for playing.
 
Cant reply properly to the truth then? Nice seeing you. :2wave:
 
How many times has Hamas killed Gazan civilians?
 

more bull**** lies

Hamas has been targeting civilians since 2007 with rockets, the thing is Israel builds shelters and trains people to be safer. Still people die, lose homes etc. But if you are going to lie like this I have to ask why?

Oh that is right I know.

actually they do lie as you have.
UNRWA Condemns Placement of Rockets, for a Second Time, in One of Its Schools | UNRWA

UN isn't exactly friendly to Israel.

In Gaza, Hamas fighters are among civilians. There is nowhere else for them to go | World news | The Guardian

even an anti-Israel report admits it.

so what do you have to say now.

There was a third incident. From a July 29 UN press release:

In a related development, UNRWA said that a cache of rockets was found today at one of its schools in central Gaza. The discovery came during a regular UNRWA inspection of the school, which was closed for the summer and not being used as a shelter. All the relevant parties have been notified.

Neither she nor the language you bolded says that. The language concerns unavoidable casualties when a military objective is targeted. That is not the same thing as targeting civilians.
