There are 2.3 million people in Gaza. Nearly half of them are children under 14, who were not even alive when a minority of Palestinian voters voted for Hamas in 2006.
You are advocating collective punishment of innocent children - a war crime.
You are fascist scum and you can fuck right off.
These people are just driven by hatred.
Many that weren't before, will be now. If they are still alive.
This whole mess suits Israel far right nutters and the Hamas nutters. Hamas gets more new recruits than they lose old ones. Israel's far right nutters can justify even more eroding of democric structures and land occupation.
Well said
Where exactly did you get the info, that there are almost 50 percent of Gaza population that are children under 14? The only info I found concluded that the Gaza Population consists of 40% children under 18.
Apols, the last number I'd seen was 44% from a CIA Factbook dated 2018, but I see the latest now says 40% (but still under-14 not under-18). That's still a shocking number of children in a very densely populated enclave that has been bombed to shit over the last few weeks and is about to be stormed by a modern 21st century ground army.
