    If you ask me, I would sacrifice every last one of them in order to eradicating hamas(Isis). Western civilization/values are worth more than the children killed in the hands of hamas(Isis).

    I sincerely hope you aren’t a parent with that attitude about children.

    Now I will direct this question back at you, What is the maximum number of children who need to die before hamas(Isis) surrender?

    Zero. Israel should not kill one single child. If they can’t defeat Hamas without killing children, then maybe Hamas has a point.

      Amazing how hamas can go into Israel, murder children, then get asylum by hiding among its own children.

      By your logic I can grab a couple of babies, shoot up school, and I should be untouchable as long as I have a baby vest?

        Are you honestly suggesting that the IDF has absolutely no culpability when it comes to killing children? All dead children in Gaza are Hamas’ fault?

        Because otherwise, you don’t understand what you are calling my logic.

            So you’re saying that even if an IDF soldier shoots a child in the face, it’s Hamas’ fault? Really?

                That’s an interesting way to excuse virtually any war crime imaginable if Israel chooses to commit it. “It’s Hamas’ fault that Israel covered Gaza in anthrax spores, they’re the reason Israel did it.”

                  War crimes are crimes. If any happened, Israel will be held accountable.

                  But still, hamas are the ones who brought this on Gaza.

                    No if about it.

                    The right of civilians not to be arbitrarily deprived of life and the prohibitions against killing or maiming civilians are principles firmly enshrined in international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international jurisprudence. The prohibition of violence to civilians, including children, in particular murder, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture is a principle of customary international law, with universal applicability in all situations of armed conflict.

                    https://childrenandarmedconflict.un.org/six-grave-violations/killing-and-maiming/

                    “They made us do it” is not a way around those laws.

                    All you’re saying is that, to you, it’s fine for the IDF to kill every single child in Gaza as long as someone has to pay the price for it in court later.
