    Maybe the Palestinians themselves devalue their own lives compared to Israeli lives.

    You should just stop right there. If your logic depends on saying “they actually don’t value their lives as much as others” then please stop and ask “what the hell is wrong with yourself?”. People who think like this probably value their life least of all. /s

        50% of the population of Gaza was under 18 based on Israeli numbers for Gaza prior to October. This means 50% of the population wasn’t even alive when that vote happened since it happened 18 years ago! Fun fact about that vote; Hamas represented themselves as significantly more moderate in the run-up to the election only to drop that the moment they got elected and murder all their political opposition. They have since continued to murder outspoken political dissidents and quash any efforts for new elections.

        A twenty-year-old election that was run on lies tells us nothing about the feelings of the people of Gaza in the current day. It doesn’t tell us how much they support Hamas now and it certainly tells us nothing about how much they value their lives.

        Though your twisted rationlisation tells me a lot about how you value their lives.

        Just know that this accusation you make is a confession of your views and you should investigate what that says about yourself on your own.

            You don’t believe me?

            What is it that I disbelieve exactly? You’re here trying to convince others that a group of people don’t value their lives as much as you do. I believe you when you say that you don’t value groups of human lives equally, I just don’t share that view.

            Those who are immersed in islamist ideology think quite differently from people of christian heritage

            I’ll be honest, I didn’t bother reading the rest of the wall of text after this. Enjoy your crusade and may you die as you have lived.
