As the casualty figures on both sides grow, Israel is facing the usual calls for a ceasefire.

Major Y [an American who went to Israel to fight] and other people on the ground I have spoken with say that they estimate about one in every two or three [civilian] homes in Gaza they go into has military weaponry, including AK47s, grenades and rocket launchers. And they routinely find entrances to Hamas’s terror tunnels inside civilian houses. And not just anywhere, but most often in the children’s bedrooms and even under cots.

    IDF officially said from the beginning of this war that it can’t guarantee journalists’ safety in Gaza.

    That doesn’t mean anything when they cannot leave, and should not be forced to since they are an integral part of the world.

    How are you blaming children?

    No. But for Hamas (according to the ten of thousands of rockets) the answer is yes.

    Then your logic is faulty.

      I’m not blaming the children, I’m blaming Hamas for bringing their children to the consequences that they face.
