Children in schools are hostage takers? ColinC Sep 2024 #5

What children in schools are you talking about? Not even the Hamas health agency mentions any children in schools. Beastly Boy Sep 2024 #6

And how many of them were school children that you presumed to be in the school building in question? Beastly Boy Sep 2024 #8

Don't know. Not sure why it matters though. The fact that we have allowed that many children to die from bombs ColinC Sep 2024 #9

If your claims don't matter, why make them? Beastly Boy Sep 2024 #10

Outside the displays of conspicuous partiality, I am totally cool with your sentiments. Beastly Boy Sep 2024 #12

This sentiment, which falls outside conspicuous partiality, falls well within the category that I am totally cool with. Beastly Boy Sep 2024 #14
