Is that really true? Apart from Oct 7, I don't recall any reports of large numbers of Israeli civilians being killed.

If they were, you would - in spades. Not only that for every 1 Israeli killed then 20+ Palestinians would be killed in retribution with another 40 kicked out of their homes in the West Bank.

Just because Hamas are crap at rockets doesn't mean Hamas are not attacking on a daily basis and wish to kill.

Have a look at Iron dome, the Israelis mitigated the near daily rocket attacks without slaughtering civilians. Many Israelis sleep in bomb shelters because of daily bomb attacks from the Gaza strip many using hospitals, schools and other civilian areas as a base.

here is a casualty list.

Israel would kill more Hamas operatives during peace keeping activities but they prefer to lock them up. See the thousand detained or convicted of terrorism swapped for Israeli hostages held for up to 5 years.

This is getting nasty and vitriolic, so I’m going to close this thread.

I would suggest that all parties stop taking chunks out of each other and step back for a bit.
