With EU blessing.

I will do the proportions as soon as I find more sources on what is the median age of hamas member. Maybe you have some data on that?

Yes, conclude the obvious, keep citing hamas and compare apples to oranges if that makes you feel righteous.

High-end estimate for Gaza (provided by hamas, a well known terrorist group): 64 000. High-end for Mariupol (provided by Uppsala Conflict Data Program): 88 000.

When comparing numbers one should also compare high-end estimates vs. high-end estimates and conservative numbers vs. conservative numbers.

Mariupol.

Sorry, but moderators of this forum threaten to ban me if I keep commenting on political topics. So I can't respond to your comment where you provide "non hamas sources".

I do comment here primarily when I see kremlin's (or iran/hamas) propaganda and lies. That is true.

I do understand that it's your forum and your rules. I will try to abide by them.

I hope one day we shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

Can you provide any source for that, which is not hamas?

So is Ukraine committing genocide on russians?

The intent needs to be there too. Otherwise it's just a war.

It wasn't. But, if you look at it, history is on the side of Israel. I don't recall any terrorist attacks done by Israel, but I do recall at least a dozen done by hamas. Also, there were 0 (zero) jews in Gaza for the last 20 years or so.

In any case, the question wasn't about history. It was about specific situation that requires specific decisions. Yet you deflected the question entirely. While, at the same time, showing lack of historical knowledge. Saddest thing here is that I'm not surprised anymore to get "answers" like these from people like you.

> Only a tiny percentage of whom were involved in the Hamas atrocity

It's not a tiny percentage. It's the majority. That's how autocracies stay in power.

> Israel's intended end game seem to be to make Gaza completely uninhabitable, so that the Palestinians are forced to leave

In a context where hamas declared (multiple times) that they will repeat October 7 forever, how is this a bad outcome for Israel? Why it doesn't make sense to you that Western states are supporting Israel? It would be baffling (for me at least) if any state in the world would deal with terrorists by capitulating to them.

Yes, it's a very similar situation.

Both Russia and Gaza are ruled by criminal autocracy. In russia it's mafia style autocracy, in Gaza - terrorism and religious fanaticism.

Both Russia and Gaza have their population under control, influence and brainrot.

Both Israel and Ukraine where there long before Gaza and Russia even existed.

Both Russia and Hamas invaded and tried to commit genocide on Ukraine and Israel respectively.

Both Russia and Hamas failed their goals spectacularly and now are playing the victims (for the same target audience, albeit split on political axis).
