OP if you want to hate on Israel just link the story about the 17 year old who got shot 6 times for carrying a "fake" unspecific gun.
Or just link the casualty rates this year alone in rocket attacks. Isn't it like 3 for 69?
Totally defending themselves.
There's a difference. Hamas puts their mortars in schools and hospitals, and uses those places to house armaments and soldiers. Israel uses precision strikes. Casualties are roughly equal, with a higher number of injured civilians in Israel than Hamas. A key difference here is that Israel's government spends millions on missile defense to protect its citizens, while Hamas purposefully puts its citizens in harm's way to protect their military.
This difference is wasted on most people online. I've come to realize that people hate on Israel because its become fashionable to do so. They are seen as the big meanies, and the Palestinians as the little kid trying to stand up for themselves. Never mind the real history of the area.Israel and Palestine are like brothers that fight all the time. Israel is the much tougher older brother, so Palestine gets hurt a lot. Because of this, the media (their mother) favors Palestine and tries to protect him, so Israel always gets in trouble.
One day, Big Brother Israel was in his room, minding his own business, playing Xbox when Little Brother Palestine ran in and shut off the Xbox, trashed the room, and blew a raspberry in Big Brother Israel's face. Big Brother Israel got mad and, by impulse, punched Little Brother Palestine in the face. Little Brother Palestine ran to cry to Mama Media. Big Brother Israel tried to explain, but Mama Media didn't want to hear it and immediately grounded him.
And that's the Israel-Palestine conflict in a nutshell.
