Well over 7,000 children murdered. Lord Have Mercy.
At least the IDF didn't bake them alive in an oven while raping their mothers.

Seriously, who would do such a thing?
Not to make excuses for Hamas or anything, but several claims about the Oct 7 attacks have been proven false. One of them was the 40 beheaded babies. The other was babies being placed in ovens and being baked.

That being said, I don't know that anything that did happens still justifies killing 7000 kids - so far. Not to mention the hundreds that have now become orphans, have lost limbs, and will be dealing with PTSD for the rest of their lives.


How do you prove something like that false?

It might be hard to confirm, but its impossible to "prove it false."
The Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, was actually the first to question it. They tried identifying all victims and missing, or something like that. And now several sites have broken down the numbers. There was one child under a year old killed. 36 under the age of 18.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/14-kids-under-10-25-people-over-80-up-to-date-breakdown-of-oct-7-victims-we-know-about/

"The final death toll from the attack is now thought to be 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children, as well as 373 security forces and 71 foreigners, giving a total of 1,139."

Some people also think that a decent number of Israelis killed that day were from friendly fire, as the IDF started shelling the places where Hamas were hiding, and the helicopters were told to shoot any vehicle heading back to Gaza. That's why quite a few burned out and exploded vehicles were on the road to Gaza. No one has given an estimate on how many Israeli would-be hostages were in those vehicles, or how many might have gotten shelled in their Kibutz.


How does that prove the baby wasn't baked in an oven?

I've seen the eye witness testimony of the person who recovered that baby. I would say your assertion that it's been proven false is objective false.
Eye witness testimony lol. There's been zero proof.

Yeah lots of Palestinian propaganda on this board.
Nope. They have plenty of issues and I don't support their worldview/beliefs. Same goes for Israel. Both groups need to repent. Israel can start by stopping the blood shed.

Gazans shelled a hospital deliberately yesterday. Just fyi.


You mean Hamas, not Gazans. But I would be interested in knowing how they did so deliberately? Not saying they wouldn't do so deliberately if they had the means to do so, but curious how you can say they did so deliberately when they have dumb rockets, and no artillery, and just shoot in the direction of Israeli land.

Further, why have they been shooting at Christians in the Catholic church in north Gaza?


Hamas, Gazans and Palestinians are all the same thing. Hamas is not made up of quakers from Pennsylvania.


Not true. It's an extremely complicated situation. I personally know Israelis with family killed in the Hamas attacks. I also know Palestinian Christians who definitely denounce the terror attack/killing of innocents, but also feel like their ethnicity is being wiped out by Israel.

There is no Palestinian ethnicity. They are Arabs. They speak Arabic, ethnically they are just the Arabs around that area.

How about Hamas can start by releasing all of the hostages. Until then, the deaths of the civilians is on their heads.

I dunno. I think it is. By that logic, if police shoot bystanders after unleashing a hail of bullets at a bad guy in a crowd, the blood of the those innocent bystanders is on the heads of the bad guy, not the police. Or, in this case, if a bad guy runs and hides in your basement, the police are justified in burning down your house to get the bad guy.

This does get messier in a war. If you indiscriminately attack an area where you think enemies are hiding, that's a problem. However, because the enemy is armed and fighting and may conceivably have support and traps, etc, a soldier does have more leeway to attack an area even if it will cause civilian casualties. The issue is whether a soldier is taking all logical precautions available to minimize noncombatant casualties. To circle it back to your theoretical situations, if the police are randomly firing at a guy was a pistol, they're clearly in the wrong. If they're burning down your house because a jaywalker is hiding in it, they're clearly wrong. If you have a terrorist cell in the basement planning to release a chemical weapon, then burning down the house may be the best way to neutralize the threat with the least amount of collateral damage.

I'm not saying Israel is justified in their actions. I think they've shown the mendacity of Bibi's government and the problems of relying on reservists for combat, but I also think the hand wringing about some of their decisions is either ignorant or disingenuous.

That's the most balanced perspective on IDF operations in Gaza I have seen. The problems of using reserve combat arms units should not be taken too lightly and especially in an environment where Hamas so closely intertwines its weapons storage and deployment with civilian infrastructure.

Just lovely people:



Highly graphic (warning, nsfw) link of 100+ Christian's being slaughtered yet again last night, meanwhile, and I bet we hear crickets:

Yes, good catch, a twitter username that you disapprove of. Solid forum tone-deaf response.

I'm beginning to think Hitchens was correct. Religion, it does ruin everything. Imagine someone arrogant enough to claim that their God gives them special rights to a piece of land.

Pretty common in human history. If it wasn't religion it would be something else.

Not sure I understand this post on this thread. Are you saying because of a horrible attack in Nigeria against Christians, it justifies the number of dead Palestinian women and children?

Not at all. Just the typical voices lamenting Gazan's suffering today never worry about certain other peoples suffering.

Look…it's a just war…Let them finish the fight.
I think my theory is that the public which has drifted away from Reformed theology has a God without a spine and a people without a spine as a result. War is terrible. We get it.
You have to make it terrible enough for the opposition to quit or think twice of entering another fight.

The only people supporting the war in Gaza are either Dispensationalist hoping for the rapture or the confessionally Reformed. Perhaps a few post-Luther Lutherans as well?

Apparently the Israeli intel services believe the Gaza Health Ministry casualty numbers.

The numbers are probably roughly accurate. The problem is that the Gaza ministry lumps in combatants with noncombatants, and teasing that out can be extremely difficult.

Sure, but even if you assume all males killed are Hamas, that still leaves a ton of women and children. Also, Israel reports the IDF casualties and civilian casualties from October 7th generally lumped together. As does most of the media.

But they are also reported in a way that you can separate them if you want. The Gazan Health Ministry doesn't do that.

True. Though I don't think they separate out how many they killed via friendly fire. Which may have been a surprising amount depending on which source you look at.

I guess my main point in posting was in response to the multiple posters here who believe the casualty counts are just Hamas propaganda.

It's like watching a documentary about the bombing of Dresden or the Nemmersdorf Massacre. It's terrible that innocent people suffer in war. However, this does not absolve Gaza of its guilt for putting a genocidal movement in power, any more than it absolved Germany.

But it's a fallacy to blame Gazans for Hamas being in power. It's like blaming all American adults today for electing Bush in 2004.

Also there's the issue of intent. Some military operations are intended to seek out Hamas terrorists. Others are simply intended for cruelty and ethnic cleansing.
