That's actually a valid question. There are calculations for almost every human life.

So it's about settlements all of a sudden? People who yell* "kill all Jews" just want to settle.

*not just yell, they actually tried

What I hear from your comment is "let's let them kill more Israeli kids".

Yep, that worked well before.

What they want is to "kill all Jews". We've already passed that.

Israel really have two options at this point: either Palestinian dead kids, or Israeli dead kids. Nobody proposed a third option so far.

Name one.

But there are two options: kill the terrorist, or don't kill the terrorist. Your choice is to let terrorists win, if they bring enough kids.

What is the alternative?

based entirely upon their status as Arabs

Why Israel doesn't genocide 2 million Arabs that are Israeli citizens?

I agree with you on that. From the personal perspective it doesn't matter how you call it. However most of the officials do care about the definitions, and when you write to your representative you might want to have it in mind.

The thousands of children weren't the aim. We can argue about was it a war crime or not, probably was. But it cannot be a genocide.

gen·o·cide /ˈjenəˌsīd/ noun the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

From what I understand, the actions of Hamas are clearly fell under this definition. Their goal is to kill all Jews. I don't see how actions of IDF could be classified as genocide, since their declared goal is to kill the Hamas leaders, and not some nation or ethnic group.

Well, the original source is Russia Today, which is arguably worse. Reuters and BBC didn't happen to take an interview with this person during his Moscow visit.

Charles Whitman — Texas Sniper. Killed 14 people in 1966. Autopsy found a brain tumor pressing the amygdala, which presumably caused uncontrollable "fight or flight" response.

Does this include the 500 from the hospital parking lot?

I tried to get a shot today after lunch. About a hundred people in the line, and only walk-ins are available. I guess I'll wait for couple of months.

My point is: no matter what was the goal of protesters, these protests benefit Hamas. Therefore people participating in it are perceived as pro-Hamas.

I met people in the comments who support Hamas and Ukraine at the same time. They didn't look like Republicans.
