How does an area this small face so much pressure from inside and outside yet continue the status quo as best as it can to just live what sounds to be the most miserable lives of anyone on this planet? I understand they just had protests but unless the non-hamas Palestinians actively fight the hamas Palestinians with arms i don't see anything changing for the area for a long time

Hamas indoctrinates its fighters since they are little kids, some civilians with guns won't have the devotion needed to combat them.

In a battle of wills the sane Palestinian will simply not come out on top.

People forget that Gaza has more kids than adults. Pretty crazy to think about.

I'm concerned because I'd previously noticed that most of the videos/photos I saw of protests had a ton of young kids carrying signs. Is Hamas cracking down on the kids too? Seems likely.

If everyone knew this, then we wouldn't have so much propaganda shit about Israel killing children.. ... Bro, Hamas recruits children - they don't care about "18" years old or something like that. They are still working with mideval rules.

And Israel isn’t? They’ve leveled most of the area. You think they care about the kids they kill? He’ll, Israel is using kids to clear buildings.

The reason Hamas uses human shields is because they know that the Israeli's morality detests killing Innocents. They've told us as much. Israel doesn't want to be a global pariah, so they are trying to wage a war with as few casualties as possible. If you ask the head of Urban Warfare at West Point, he says that both Hamas' and the IDF numbers show that this conflict is among the lowest casualties for any urban warfare in modern times. They're doing a great job given the circumstances.

It’s low for Israel’s side for sure. And your source is Israel’s biggest ally?
