Accidents of War

Israel was attacked from Gaza without warning on October 7, and the terrorists primary target was civilians. The butchers who carried out the massacre slaughtered women, children, and even babies, then fled back to hide behind their own "non-combatants". It is the actions of Hamas that have made so-called "civilian casualties" inevitable. They expressly focused on bestial criminality and grotesque crimes against humanity to start the conflict, and now like the cowards they are, conceal themselves among Gazans who they care as little for as they do Israelis. The IDF has not targeted women and children but has done all any military could to protect innocents on both sides. For all the carnage, the blame must be placed clearly and solely on Hamas and the terrorists who bask in the body count of all the deaths of human shields they caused.
