@dangerousdays2052 I am an Israeli citizen, a combat soldier in reserves, and I fought for two months in Chan Yunis. The IDF and the soldiers within Israel's armed forces have put enormous effort into preventing unnecessary civilian casualties. Coming into Han Yunes we were met with neighbourhoods devoid of civilians. All the cars were gone, fridges in homes had been emptied of perishables and valuables taken with the residents.
During our two months there, in every instance where unarmed Palestinians were encountered, they were given the opportunity to surrender. Oftentimes this led to valuable intelligence being gathered, but the primary motivation for this was that we were not in Gaza to kill Gazans. Unlike Hamas, we were there to fight a war to protect our friends and families, not to randomly kill innocent civilians.
Unsubstantiated claims to the contrary have failed to stand up to any test of impartiality, and so the narrative has shifted from "genocide" to also include the term "domicide" or "purposeful killing of ones home". Indeed, in the absence of the purposefully orchestrated civilian casualties needed to run a propaganda campaign against Israel and its allies, Hamas must find some other way to garner western support. By coating their extremist ideology in a veneer of humanitarianism Hamas and their supporters attempt to hide the reality that the "victims" are enemies of western ideology and democracy.
During our mission we cleared hundreds of Gazan homes with over half of them belonging to Hamas supporters. In 100% of the houses where we found evidence of support for Hamas, we also found terror infrastructure including tunnels, weapon slicks, and rocket silos used to attack Israeli civilians. Any home that had indications for ideological support, also had material support of Hamas. Those homes were destroyed as part of the destruction of Hamas's terror infrastructure. Homes that were left standing would often be used by Hamas for future offensives against our forces, and as such there was a need to remove such houses. This was not done with the intention to ruin someone's life, but rather to protect the lives of Israeli soldiers who were only there due to the attacks committed by the government in Gaza, Hamas, on Oct. 7th.

@mickvonbornemann3824 In 1947, the UN partitioned Palestine into two states based on population - one Jewish, one Arab. If the Arabs had accepted the partition, there would have been no wars, no refugees and the Palestinians would be celebrating their 75th anniversary as an independent state encompassing the entire West Bank, Gaza and a third of pre-1967 Israel instead of the "nakba". The Arabs rejected the partition and launched a war with the stated goal of destroying Israel and annihilating its entire Jewish population and repeating the same thing in 1967.
After WW2, there were tens of millions of refugees in Europe - Germans, Poles and others. When India was partitioned in 1947, millions fled their homes. - both Muslims and Hindus. There were about 800,000 Jews who were either expelled of forced to leave Arab countries, their homes and land confiscated by Arab governments. Today there no European refugees, no refugees from India, no Jewish refugees. So why, after 75 years are the Palestinians still refugees? Because it is what the Arab governments wanted - to use them as political pawns.

@morgan0 zionism is built in into Jewdaizm. In Old testimony/Tora it is predicted that Jews will return to their lands in amoment of their greatast suffering.
This was never Palestinian house. Never been country by Name Palestine with separated Palestinian history/ state/ king. They didn’t have any difference from Jordanian, Lebanese, Egyptians, Syrians.
It was house that was owned by British. And before that it was owned by Turks. Never by locals.
Arabs immigrated to this area in 20th and 19th century as result of economic boom caused by Jewish immigration to Palestine. Half of Gaza population has an Egyptian last names.
It was also home of Jews as well. Majority of residents of Jerusalem were Jews in 19th century
Palestine was a house owned by the British in which Jews and Muslims lived. The British offered each to own their own flat in the house. The Jews accepted. The Muslims rejected the offer because they wanted the entire house. In 1947, the UN partitioned Palestine into two states based on population - one Jewish, one Arab.
Arabs in Palestine did their first massive massacre of Jews in 1920. Arab-Muslims looted, wounded, raped, and murdered Jews, and Torah scrolls were desecrated. This happened before any "occupation" or Balfour declaration. There was no such thing "Palestinians" in those days as well, but there were Jews. The root of this conflict is not about land - it's about the hate for non-Muslims (especially Jews).
Since1920 there were so many massacres till 1948. Back in Time Jews didn’t have army that protected them and killed those who tried to kill Jews.
was never Palestinian house. Never been country by Name Palestine with separated Palestinian history/ state/ king. They didnt have any difference from Joradanians, Lebanonise, Egyptions, Syrians.
It was house that was owned by British. And beforethat it wos owned by Turks. Never by locals.
Arabs immigareted to this area in 20th and 19th centure as result of economic boom coused by Jewish immigration to Palestine.
It was also home of Jews as well.

@osmosis321 Any country arounf the world would kill many times than Israel did. Histroy says so. Look at mosul in iraq. it took 8 months to free city from ISIS. 3000 ISIS combatants were there. 10 000 were killed. look at Russia in Mariupol where 30 000 civilians were killed. Look at Chechnia where 300 000 people were killed in both wars. Look at Syria where by UN 306 000 civilians were killed. UN calculated this number years.
International community id hipocrate. Around 40% of International community refused to condem Russia for invading to Ukraine. Why would Israel listern to tatalitarian counries opinion like North Korea, China, Russia, Cuba , Venesuaela, Labanon, Syria, Yemen, Afganistan. Iraq, Iran, Sudan, African countries with disctatorship? Why ?
