    Resistance.

    They killed women and children. Your support for that has been noted.

      Its a statement not support. They are resisting Israeli occupation. I’m not cheering for anyone to die and I don’t agree with it. In the same vain indiscriminate bombing is wrong too and has killed thousands of innocents.

      To quote the article

      At least 41,689 people have been killed and 96,625 have been injured in Israel’s assault on Gaza, according to Palestinian authorities. At least 1,139 people were killed in the Hamas-led attacks, according to an Al Jazeera tally based on Israeli statistics, and around 250 others were seized as hostages.

      The death toll clearly skews to one side in a major way. What people here are saying is not that we support violence in any case, we do not, we are saying you can’t be surprised when they fight back when you look at the numbers. Israel could have entered on the ground and fought enemy combatants with a much lower civilian death toll. They targeted civilians first.
