Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Palestinians are just civilians, they aren't armed, they are not an army, they are just citizens getting murdered by a terrorist state that has been invading them from more than 70 years. HAMAS was voted by Palestine citizens, and it's the only defense they have. The attack that HAMAS did was mainly because Israel was already invading and killing a ratio or 200/400 citizens each year, while stealing their farms, and land, that's why HAMAS attacked the territory that in the past was just Palestine.

I said "HAMAS has the right to self-defense" as everyone is just saying "Israel has the right to self-defense" which is super unfair as Israel is the one invading and attacking from years passively and injuring Palestinians.

Again, Palestinians are mostly citizens, they aren't armed to be able to defend themselves, they almost can't have a voice.

You say "terrorist" too easily.
