  1. We haven’t heard reports of deaths, will check into it.

  2. The people were killed, but by a faulty Palestinian rocket/bomb. <- we are here

  3. Ok we killed them, but they were terrorists.

  4. Ok they were civilians, but they were being used as human shields.

  5. Ok there were no fighters in the area, so it was our mistake. But we kill civilians by accident, they do it on purpose.

  6. Ok we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are.

  7. Why are you still talking about Israel? Are you some kind of anti-Semite?

      They try too hard honestly. All western chauvinists need is 2 degrees of separation from culpability. You don't need 3 or 4 excuses to murder randos as an American puppet state

        Fortunately many people are finally seeing through the smoke screen. I feel that we’ll have a generational shift on this topic and see change that way.

      Thousands of missiles were launched from Gaza last week with zero reports of any of them turning around and striking Gaza.

        The laws of physics ceased to function for a few seconds and caused a piece of shrapnel to transmutate into a JDAM before striking the hospital.
