See how you had to add "militant groups" because otherwise your statement would be incorrect and irrelevant? Like this, i agree with you.

The Palestinian groups are all militant. The people who call themselves 'Palestinians' are Arab nationalists. They are the same people as the 2 million Arabs who are the citizens of Israel. The only difference between Palestinian groups and Israeli Arabs is that the former want to kill the Jews.
Over 99% of the terrorist attacks commited in Israel are commited by Palestinians, less than 1% are commited by Israeli Arabs.
Yes, because terrorists in Israel tend to be Palestinians. Thats criminal and terrible. What do kids in Gaza have to do with this? Why do they have to pay for the crimes of people of the same ethnicity? Holding a whole ethnicity accountable for something is straight-up Nazi ideology.
Kids in Gaza have the same to do with it as the 1 million German and 250k Hungarian civilians who were killed during WW2 bombings and urban combat. That's why you shouldn't start wars. Your children will die in bombings and urban combat.
The kids in Gaza aren't accidental victims. The IDF goes out of their way to terrorize the kids and starve them to death. The way that Israel is handling this conflict will make the remaining kids grow up hating Israel and seeing no other way to live but fight back. This is not the way.
The vast majority of the civilian dead in Gaza died in airstrikes. This is already them fighting back. That's how this war started, Hamas fighting back. The children used for stabbing attacks are 'fighting back'. They already doing it, this is how it looks like.
Hamas is / was an Iranian proxy. Iran took illegitimate and terroristically motivated advantage of justified feelings of injustice of Palestinians. The situation they are born into by no fault of their own, is unfair, horrible and unjustified. Iran channeled this rage into pointless crimes against 🇮🇱
The reason why it's a war crime to use children in war, or to fight the war in civilian clothing (like how Hamas does it) because if you do that, the enemy will not look at uniformed soldiers as a threat, they look at people wearing civilian clothing and kids as a threat.
A warcrime on one side does *not* justify a warcrime in retaliation. Warcrimes are absolute and mustn't be committed period. Otherwise, we hollow out any international law.
So, if you use children for fight, the enemy troops will start seeing children as potential combatant. That leads to children getting killed. If a soldier thinks kids might stab them, they'll be much more likely to shoot children. That's why Hamas is doing it. They use children and blame the Jews.
I get the logic. Makes it complicated, but it doesn't make it right to kill or starve innocent children. That's not self defense.
"Palestinian" is a people group mostly present in modern-day Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. It's a term comparable to other ethnic descriptors like "Israeli", "Turk", "English", "Japanese", "German", "Russian" and so forth. Are you playing dumb to make me trip up or are you manipulated?
They started calling themselves 'Palestinians' in the 1960's, before that, they were Arabs. They are still Arabs speaking Arabic, their language. The nations you listed are all separate nations and cultures with their own languages.
Palestinians are Arabic, like Bavarians are German or the Welsh are British, sorta. They speak Arabic. Common language doesn't make Americans English now, does it? Doesn't matter anyhow, you're distracting from the topic. People shouldn't be exterminated for a factor they're born into.
Yeah, however it's not like the Americans have been referred as 'English' for over a thousand years, and suddenly started calling themselves 'Americans' in the 1960's. Google how that switch from Arab to Palestinian happened, it involves the KGB.
Okay, can we agree that "Palestinians" are the Arabic people that lived and live in the area historically referred to as Palestine? Why stumble upon this arbitrary ethnic definition? This is not an issue of blurry ethnic lines, it's a matter of killing innocents.
They always say they are being exterminated when they lose the wars they started. They do it so often, it has it's own Wikipedia page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palesti...
Again, Hamas started this war. Hamas is an organisation that had up to 80,000 members in Oct 23. Gaza Strip had around 2 Million people. Hamas is not the same as the people in Gaza. The people in Gaza did not start this war. You are inflating terminology.
