    No you are changing the statement yourself. The statement is

    Hamas just hasn’t been taking civilian noncombatants as hostages like Israel has been doing.

    Israel is widely kidnapping mostly innocent civilians whereas Hamas very much targeted military for kidnapping.

    This is as obvious as the lower than 2/3 civilian casualty rate for Hamas whereas israel has a far higher civilian casualty rate.

      Sources? Do I even want your sources at this point…last time I asked for evidence you gave me a verbal statement by the prime minister and that was good enough in your book. You really don’t need much convincing when the evidence aligns with your bias, do you?

          I’m realizing that either your intentionally ignoring what I’m saying or English is not your first language.

          Your standard of evidence was a quote by Benjamin Netanyahu

          For honest people one off quotes do not constitute evidence.

          So yes: I reject your standard for proof because it is very low
