Did I ever say they don't count? The point is that both Israel and Hamas violated the "truce", making it a stretch to say there was an actual truce prior to October 7th.
Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians suffer as a result of the exchanges between the IDF and Hamas.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about their civilians.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about killing civilians to achieve their goal.
But the IDF has been doing this for far longer than Hamas and helped to create them in the first place.
Sorry, but I couldn't find the statistics on rockets fired by Palestinian children. Just some assholes named Hamas, maybe Israel shouldn't have helped to create them.
Reminder that a majority of Palestinian deaths since October 7th were not members of Hamas
Reminder that hundreds have been murdered in the West Bank since October 7th even though "war" was only declared against Hamas who has no administration over the West Bank
Reminder that a large swath of civilian deaths were children who had no say in the 2006 "election" of Hamas to administer the Gaza strip
Reminder that hundreds of Palestinians were murdered during the 9-year "truce" from 2014-2023. Not to mention the land stolen and the homes, farms, and crops destroyed in the West Bank during that period.
What do you mean by that?
