6. I've been wondering about the lack of attention on this

Especially since Islam makes so many claims about "morality".

How do their boys get raised to be soldiers who rape? Is it okay to rape the non-Islamic "enemy"?

I have been horrified by the devastation of hospitals in Gaza.

But it always comes back to: Hamas started this war. They are keeping it going by not returning hostages and submitting the criminal rapists for prosecution. The evil deeds they have done and continue to do, justify the state of Israel taking effective steps to obliterate the entity "Hamas" - within the laws of war, at least. It is a separate question whether Israel is actually obeying the laws of war. But that question would not exist if Hamas had not committed this terrorism on Oct. 7.

It is horrible that there are innocents on both sides. But clearly Hamas did not care about their own families and neighbors when they undertook this terrorism.
