10. Hamas can end this if they wanted. They simply don't want to.

>> I'm not taking much notice of people posting about who is to blame. Who started it, who is putting out propaganda, who is putting out fake numbers, etc.
Yes. Considering that it's a losing argument to try and place the blame anywhere OTHER than where it truly belongs - — with Hamas — I certainly understand why some folks would want to avoid having those conversations.

For many people, it's just easier automatically to place blame on Israel for anything and EVERYTHING without having to explain or defend the accusations, isn't it?

>> After all, the dead people probably didn't care about those details too much either.
Neither does Hamas, obviously. They clearly do not care about civilians, only about themselves, and only about destroying Israel. If they cared about civilians, then they would not hide among them. They would not put their operations centers in/under/near schools, hospitals, markets, refugee centers. The simple fact is that Hamas are cowards to be hiding among children. But, if that doesn't work as they hope, Hamas certainly doesn't actually CARE about more civilian deaths. In their estimation it's a bonus, a win-win... for propaganda purposes.
