Yeah I’m so sick of the “women and children” thing. It’s so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant
So don’t forget that Hamas’ military wing is about 30K, in a population of 2.4 millions, so let’s say half are children, so that’s 1.2M left, and let’s say the other half are women, 600K is roughly the male population of Gaza. So it appears that 1/20 male are associated with Hamas. 5%.
And by killing and destroying so many lives and homes, and futures, Israel is well underway to groom another generation of broken human beings who are more likely to get radicalized.
It’s fine if the men die though

Misogynistic? Don’t your mean misandrist?
the misogyny is that this language groups women together with children as less capable, weaker, defenseless but for the actions of men
While also forgetting that women and children are often used in combat.
