As the casualty figures on both sides grow, Israel is facing the usual calls for a ceasefire.
A call which this country has rightly not joined in.
But as well as the Hamas supporters and antisemites who hurl accusations against Israel whatever it does, there are also well-meaning people who genuinely do not seem to understand the war that Israel is fighting.
Every time a home is destroyed in Gaza, or a civilian building is targeted much of the world seems bewildered and outraged.
In the process the worst libels against the Jewish state get repeated.
Claims that the Israelis deliberately target civilians.
Claims that Israel is committing war crimes, and more.
Take the case the other week when photos emerged of Hamas terrorists in Gaza stripped to their underwear by the IDF.

Horrific revelations about Israel killing 24,000 civilians in brutal and unjustified campaign of collective punishment.
@D3fenceAntelopeRepublican5mos5MO
Hamas hides behind women, children, and the elderly, as using human shields is a completely normal tactic for them in combat. They are not concerned with the lives of Palestinians; the more that perish, the louder the outcry for the terrorists, which can be used to pressure the international community.
In turn, the press and the majority of people do not delve into how civilians are killed and place all the blame on the IDF. For this reason, Hamas has always used and will continue to use human shields.
@LegislativeChowderDemocrat5mos5MO
Why are Hamas hiding behind civilians when Israel has repeatedly demonstrated that it has no problem killing civilians? At this point, the numbers of civilian deaths are overwhelming, making the human shield story simply implausible..
@9CSYFDW 5mos5MO
Let me know which government does more to protect civilians in military operations than Israel while the enemy hides in hospitals and residential areas.
@9HS8KDS5mos5MO
Hamas has committed terrible acts, but it only came to existence in response to Israel's oppression of Palestinians. The only way to defeat Hamas is to end the conditions that led to its rise.
@9HS8C5N5mos5MO
I think Hamas is responsible for this war. As long as Hamas has the objective to kill Jewish people, it will keep going and use children for the next generation. Hamas is allied with Iran and Russia who want to go against Israel, which will promote more violence. As long as Hamas keeps wanting violence there will never be a ceasefire.
@9HSB86F5mos5MO
Throughout history the young have been used in war until recently.
@9HS9VH5Women’s Equality5mos5MO
Many people are dying. I hope and pray that the war is getting over. And there is no more war.
@9HS8NQ95mos5MO
Hamas needs to be eradicated if there is to be a lasting peace
@9HS7BZV5mos5MO
All governments should be held accountable for their actions. This includes both Israel and Hamas.
