The protestors are against the war and against the killings of civilians. Israel is the invading force and nobody can argue the opposite.

You cannot blame the killing of tens of thousands of civilians on war. It's the invading force that's killing them.

The protestors are chanting 'from the river to the sea'.  That's a call TO war.  It's a call to destroy Israel and genocide the Jews.   That's not peaceful.  That's not a call to end war but instead is a call TO war.   And no, Israel isn't an 'invading force'.  Israel was invaded and attacked on Oct 7.  They are now protecting themselves.   There are approximately 16,000 dead civilians in Gaza because of the war.   That's an extremely low number for urban warfare.  And ALL the dead are the fault of Hamas and the 'palestinians' who support them.  They caused the war.  They attacked Israel forcing Israel to engage in self defense.  They hold the hostages and refuse to give them up and refuse to give up their arms, and refuse to stop calling for the destruction of Israel.  ALL the dead in Gaza are the fault of Hamas and the 'palestinians'.  ALL OF THEM.  

UN Halves Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza.

The UN  also highlighted that the plurality of identified fatalities were men (40%), while children were (32%) and women (20%).


UN Halves Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza

The United Nations seemingly halved the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza, according to UN data published on May 6 and 8.  The UN published the number of fatalities reported by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health or the Government Media Office in Gaza and Israeli authorities.   The UN provided a disclaimer below the data: "The UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures."

On May 6, the UN published data showing that 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children.    On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.

The new figures showed the number of identified deaths as of April 30, which total 24,686 people; the new data also specified that 10,006 men had been killed and 1,924 elderly.  

NOW ... add to that new 24,686 figure the fact that Israel says it estimates 12,000 dead Hamas fighters.   If they are close to being correct, that leaves 12,686 civilian casualties.  Men, women and children.  VERY different from the figure of 34,000 dead women and children that Hamas is trying to bamboozle people with.   And the fact still remains that NONE of them would be dead if Hamas and the 'palestinians' hadn't attacked Israel and if Hamas would lay down their arms and give up the hostages.  (Which I doubt any are still alive given the abuse that the freed ones were going through)

IDF Says 12000 Hamas Fighters Killed in Gaza War

The Israel Defense Forces said Monday that troops have killed some 12,000 of Hamas’s estimated 30,000 gunmen in the Gaza Strip since war erupted on October 7, after a Qatar-based official for the terror group claimed it had lost half that number — some 6,000 fighters — during the four-month-old conflict.

Hamas is also believed to have thousands of operatives who are seriously wounded and unable to fight.

When you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences.
Hamas and the 'Palestinians' choose their behavior on October 7.
They chose to mass murder 1200 innocent people.
They chose to mass rape men and women.
They chose to burn families alive.
They chose to kidnap 240 people, torturing and raping and starving them.

The consequence of that behavior is that Israel will defend itself and 
go into Gaza to destroy Hamas and those that support it.   Therefore,
Hamas and the 'palestinians' chose the consequences ... and anything 
happening in Gaza is their own damn fault.
