Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And what about the children killed, is this their fault too?
Are they brown? Yes.
Are they white? No.
Go to reddit and you'll see the modern JIDF in full force. They're actually claiming and having top-voted comments (>1000 upvotes) where they say all Gazans are terrorists.
I've seen some of the discussion on there and it makes me feel sick. People talk about Gazan children as if they aren't humans.
Hamas wanted dead Palestinians as an outcome of their actions. So it is partially their fault.
That isn't what I'm asking. Did the children deserve this? Are they to blame?
100% agree.
No, of course the children are not to blame. Why even ask that? I thought you were asking if Hamas was to blame, as that’s what the context of OP was, and the children were obviously blameless.
What is the purpose of saying "Hamas should have thought about that"? It's apportioning blame to the victims, who are children.
Hamas thought about it because it’s part of their objectives. They want this reaction from Israel. They are not fools. I don’t think many children are in Hamas, so I don’t get your point.
If this was intentional by Hamas then the original comment is pointless.
Look at you blaming the sins of the fathers on babies. How Christ-like you are.
Perhaps Israel should have thought about this before blockading Gaza for almost 20 years.
Hamas stated they were prepared for any possible response by Israel, so yeah
10% of the preparation is going to be ambushes and booby traps. 90% of the preparation is recruitment drives.
