As far as people dieing when their homes are bulldozed is concerned -- first, who the hell stays in a house when a slow bulldozer is coming towards it? I would call this suicide rather than murder. It's not these bulldozers sneak up on folks. Secondly, I believe the policy of bulldozing houses had something to do with retaliating against suicide bombers' families or terrorist collaborators. I find Israel's policy here to be reasonable. It's a lot like a civil forfeiture proceeding in the U.S., except that with the current situation in Gaza, Israel technically "owning" someone's home via civil forfeiture would be meaningless as no one would respect their property right. Let's not forget that in the vast majority of these cases, the people in those homes knowingly raised kids as murderers or cohabitated with individuals conspiring to murder innocent civilians. That is not a blameless situation and to pretend to be shocked and appalled in these situations completely ignores the reality of the situation and the fact that Israel has a right to defend itself.

No one in the Gaza has anything to do with the war Israel is having with Hamas.

I don't see how you could possibly believe this, but whatever.

Actually, it is comparable. Some find it comical? Everyone is in entitled to their opinion of humor. That doesn't make the note any less valid.

Actually, it is less valid. Genocide is different from war. 800 (with the majority being legitimate targets) is different than 6 million+ targets
It's not hard to see that.
