If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre. (lemy.lol)

I agree with the comic. I do however disagree with the title. I think the Hamas' attack shouldn't to be called "resistance", just as Israel's response shouldn't be called "self defense".

This! Was searching the whole comment section and wanted to post it just now and luckily hit refresh.

I agree with you that it needs to be clarified further. While I think it is still "resistance" in the sense that it was done with the intention to resist occupation and all what Israel does, I do agree that civilians died that didn't need to, and it did not lead to positive results.

When you live your whole life in a concentration camp and get bombed almost daily, you may lose some rationality and start justifying more things in the name or resistance. Ultimately I blame Israel for putting them in this situation, and putting civilians so close to their border.

In the end, my whole point is that Hamas attack must not justify a response from Israel. It should lead us to pull back instead.
