    I get what you’re going for but if you want to be realistic, the hostage taker wouldn’t be surprised/upset in the third panel. Israel is undoubtedly committing war crimes but Hamas has made it pretty clear they don’t give a shit if Palestinian civilians die.

        I love the analogy if your loved one was being held at gun point, would you support the police firing through your loved one to kill the criminal? Yeah criminal is dead but like wtf.

        Hey someone is robbing a bank, better blow it up. The customers and workers will die but at least we got the bank robber.

      Also: bringing up “Deliberately killing hostages”

      Hamas is like “yeah we do that, too, and we will do it again.”

        Israel: we don’t give a shit about the lives of Palestinians

        Hamas: We don’t either LOL

      I get what you mean but it’s not because the terrorists don’t care if you kill the hostages that you can kill them

        Seeing as how Israel isn’t letting civilians leave the war zone, there’s plenty more human shields to choose from!

            Just to bound my mind to yours

            Israel has made it pretty clear they consider everyone in Gaza, Palestine, and not agree with them, to be their military enemy.

            Wow, Israel is doing the same as a terrorist group. That must mean that Israel are the good guys.

            Great argument!

              Hamas could let their people South and no one gets hurt. If Israel lets Palestinians across the border into Israel, Hamas will sneak in with them and kill lots of Israelis. Can you not see the difference?

        You mean the original artist who didn’t add flags to the image? Or do you mean OP who I did (jokingly) suggest that to…?
