Israel did this because they thought it would make them safer. The future generations won't forget this. They might as well make their country an island

The kids surviving this, will have all the right to make hell rain upon these monsters.

Sorry, this "only defending ourselves" farce is absurd and we, the so called "civilized world", had an obligation to stop this a long time ago.

Anti-Fucking-Israel is no Anti-Semitism!

The kids surviving this,

That's why Israel's plan is to literally exterminate them all.

They won't. The folks getting bombed to paste are going to struggle just to survive into the next few years. They are going to be in no position to resist their oppressors. Those who have the guns make the rules, and the IDF is far better armed thanks to the billions of dollars in military aid Americans continue to ship them.

This apartheid will continue until Americans agree to boycott the Israeli military.

Iran has plenty of money and guns to pass around. Proxy wars are the main course for the modern history of the middle east. I find saying that they won't find a way to bite back extremely ignorant of the reality on the ground and all of human history really... Most revolts were made by desperate people that had literally nothing on their own, either had to receive it from a third party of questionable intent or steal it.

The Gaza Strip was fully firewalled off from the surrounding states. Iran wasn't sending any aid - military or otherwise - into Palestine. You may have it confused with The West Bank, which the Israelis are also rapidly chewing up and demolishing. But - again - when you destroy all the civilian infrastructure and turn the territory into a post-apocolyptic hellscape, there's no place to live much less launch a rebellion out of.

You innocent child, Israel is making sure there's no kids surviving this.

They did it because they want to genocide Palestine - this only creates a bunch of people with justifiable hatred of Israel and nothing to lose.

If they wanted to be safer, they wouldn't have funded Hamas' displacement of the secular moderates, gleefully committed and publicised thousands of warcrimes, established an ethnostate, conducted decades of land grabs, or scream maniacally about a second, bigger Amalek.

I'm sorry but your point is anchored on an old Propaganda myth of Israel.

Israel's lack of safety comes from them having stolen Palestinian land and continuing to steal Palestinian land, for decades.

If safety was their prime objective, they could stop stealing Palestinian land, give back at least some Palestinian land and compensate the victims for the rest (I am assuming here that Israel would keep some of the originally stolen land to continue to exist as a nation).

They have chosen not to do that and instead they have chosen to use force against Palestinians to stop their just rage at having their land stolen and have chosen to Genocide Palestinians to finally take away the rest of their land.

Safety is not the primary reason for the actions of Israel. Safety is an excuse and at best a second or third order reason derived from their real primary reason:

  • Israel did this (as they did most of what they did to Palestinians for 7 decades) because they want to steal all the Palestinian land.

No, the didn't do this because "they think it will make them safer" they knew exactly what they doing and that's why there is a genocide case against them.

They might as well make their country an island

They'd probably prefer that

I'm sure they would if they could
