Maybe read this and tell us how you would react if it happened to you:
Traumatised Hamas attack victim ‘pretended to be dead as women shot and raped around her’
Hamas knew what it was doing and knew in general what Israel's response would be, and yet they did what they did anyhow. Hamas is the
government of Gaza, so one cannot simply call them a "terrorist group". Do I feel sorry for the innocents on both sides? Absolutely? Do I think Jewish lives are more important than Palestinian lives? No.
How many civilians were killed during WWII? Do you realize that many more civilians were killed than soldiers?
"War is hell!" Hamas started it, and yet so many blame Israelis and Jews for this and not Palestinians, and I do believe there's a name for that.
