Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Israel has a right to defend itself (from children)

Hamas made Israel do it. Bombing was the humane option.

Israel provides water for the Gaza strip for FREE! (because they exclusively control the water supply and give substandard unclean water to Palestinians) They should be thankful for the supplies!

It's not genocide if I insist on not calling it that.

I know more about the conflict than anyone who is critical of Israel. If you criticize, that means you are ill-informed.

There we go. I saved every one some time.

you forgot to mention how many LGBTQ people Israel saved. They only killed bigoted children.

Oh silly me you are right! As a queer person myself I should be celebrating the military wing of the IDF Pride ally coalition bombing direct action.

@TinyPizza please note that for some reason this talking point is only authorized for use by people who show no other interest in LGBTQ+ rights whatsoever.

That's patently false. They have an OVERSIZED interest in (eliminating) LGBTQ+ rights in any other context.
