i do not think you can talk about the horribly high death toll in gaza. every civilian tragedy, every civilian killed, father, mother, child killed, is a genuine tragedy. everything must be done to avoid that. here is the point. i did not hear you mention this. one side and the conflict in gaza wants to minimize the casualties. the other wants them. you say that sounds kind of extreme. what is the point of human shields? why does hamas build its command and control structure, why do we have thousands of hamas fighters hiding in tunnels right now underneath 1.2 million civilians? because they are using those human shields. 24-year-old men with ak-47s are hiding underneath women and children like cowards hoping either the israelis will not attack them because they want to survive to conduct another october 7, and if the israelis do attack, that is many civilians will die as possible so that there is more concern in washington and washington cuts off the supply of weapons to israel for the purpose of defending itself. is the death toll in gaza horrible? abso
