12 dead in Australian shooting (Edit: Now confirmed 16 dead)
- Thread starter tirwin1

As the Gaza war started in 2023, I don't really see what that has to with anything.. actually, that makes it worse.
Because of the 55 year population boom, Gaza has a higher population of children and young adults than any other any region in the world. Nearly half of the population are children (Under 18). 80% of now ~80,000 Palestinians killed since the start of the war are civilians. That number is known to significantly not count deaths not incurred by direct military operation like health service disruption, lack of food, and water and sanitation issues. 70% of Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing are women and children. None of that counts injury, as Gaza now has the most amputated children per capita in the world.
The claim was always that everything Israel has done is strictly to eliminate Hamas. There were an estimated 20k to 25k Hamas members/fighters at the start of the war, of a population of ~2.2 Million. Over 10% of Gaza's pre-war population has been killed or seriously injured as of right now, and there is no end in sight.

The most recent iteration of the war started in 2023, but the Palestinians have been yelling "genocide" for a lot longer.
I would be really interested to see where the stat on the percentage of civilians is. How do you tell a Hamas fighter from a civilian ?
And 25k Hamas according to who ? Hamas ?
If a 14 year old is shooting at an IDF soldier, then yep, kids are going to get killed.
If Hamas is using women and children as human shields, Isreal is under no obligation to spare them. In fact, the people who are outraged by that are the very ones encouraging Hamas to use them as human shields.
If you put rocket launchers on top of schools, then you're going to get women and children killed. You *cannot* allow that tactic to make the school off limits to strikes, or every school will have them.
Isreal has used more restraint in their urban warfare campaign than basically any military ever. This whole mess has dragged on as long as it has *because* of their restraint, and in the long run that has probably resulted in more deaths of innocents.
Easy enough to find that answer anyway.
CHatGPT: Question: I have read the fact that there were an estimated 20k to 25k Hamas fighters at the start of the war. Who is this according to ?
U.S. and Israeli intelligence estimates
"Some U.S. and Israeli assessments have suggested that Hamas’s armed wing (Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades)[/B] had around 20,000–25,000 active personnel before the October 7, 2023 attack. These figures are based on intelligence estimates that include trained fighters, reserve forces, and support elements."
"Summary
So when you read that Hamas had around 20,000 to 25,000 fighters at the start of the war, the statement is based on assessments by U.S. and Israeli intelligence and reporting by analysts/media, not an official count from Hamas."

Oz PM Albanese on Dec 14th avoids any mention of the true cause of it
In a dizzying display of Hegelian dialectics, Albanese uses several rhetorical tricks to avoid ever pointing the finger at the people and motive that did the actual attack in Bondi Oz.

I thought he was going to be a chump for the democrats but it turns out after his stroke got fixed his brain went back to normal and he’s no longer a far left democrat. Funny how that works is t it? If your brain works as it should you stop being a far left liberal. Someone should study that.

My wife reported to me how on social media she’s been seeing many pro Muslim ads. They are doing a good job of winning. Many about how to wear a hijab and how participating in western culture like holiday celebrations is betraying your faith.
They can have faith, but they can’t kill folks.

I keep hearing about right wing groups, but they don’t ever act. I’m sorry not trusting or not liking the government doesn’t make us bad people. We disagree with things but we don’t shoot people for those disagreements.
id venture a guess that over 90% of violent crimes are committed by the left at this point through gang and other tropes of violence.
I remember a while back there was a Nazi group rally at a park in Buffalo by me. My wife was all pissed off about it and wanted to go and counter protest. I said ignore them and they will go away and I wasn’t going near either side because it will be nothing but trouble. They handed out flyers and people were pissed about it. It was all over the news.
Come protest day and 3-4 Nazis showed up, they stood on a picnic table, and were chased by 100’s of counter protestors. I told the wife see no need to go and they learned their lesson. Now if they are ignored they will go away.
It's an undeniable fact. Stick your ideology labels up your ass, simpleton.
