Is it just me or does it appear Hamas kidnapped a disproportionate number of teen girls and young women?

Well he's a fine one to judge. Practice what you preach Vlad.

We really need an “eye rolly” emoji for sure!

I would get in way too much trouble with an eye rolly emoji.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

It seems that the goal of Germany, when led by the Nazis, isn't well remembered today. The "extermination" of
the Jewish people. The level of dehumanization and hatred preached against them was necessary to justify the genocide and to convince humans that it was okay to do what couldn't ordinarily be stomached. Extermination is for rats that spread the plague. They had to convince others that Jews needed to be exterminated for the betterment of mankind. Many innocent Germans died for the sins of their leaders.

Without the same intense hatred being used, Hamas wouldn't gleefully behead children and set families on fire.
Please read their charter.
Anti-Semitic dehumanizing and scapegoating is alive and well, in every corner of the world.

I noticed that, as well. I have ideas as to why, but don't think I need to elaborate...

Also, elderly women. Hamas observes Sharia law that treats women as the property of men.

Israel-Hamas war live updates: Gaza hit with more shelling as Israel defends evacuation order (nbcnews.com)

Israeli troops include U.S. citizens​

NORTHERN ISRAEL — Among the Israeli forces defending the northern border with Lebanon are a number of troops originally from the United States.

At an encampment in northern Israel, NBC News met troops born in Florida, New York and Pennsylvania who had joined the Israel Defense Forces.

Harrison Schwartz, 24, from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, joined Israel’s military six years ago. After completing his service he returned to Pennsylvania to study business while remaining in the reserves. He got an email after the terrorist attack calling him back to service and booked a flight to Israel.

“These are all my friends. These are my family,” Schwartz said, gesturing to his fellow troops. “I probably couldn’t forgive myself if I just stayed home, if I just went to work, if I was doing something else rather than being here.”

Noam Cohen, the Nova festival videographer, tried to make his getaway in his car, but was forced to make a U-turn under a hail of Hamas bullets. He sought refuge in a nearby bomb shelter, and it was then that the real nightmare began. Throughout it all, he kept filming.

The terrorist attack on Israel slaughtered innocent civilians and it has resulted in military action by Israel. Local police have no way of knowing who is a Hamas terrorist, and who is not.

True.
There are possibly even some countries that wouldn't hesitate to arm their own teens ?
Or even younger, like 12 year olds.
So, also families who are intensely loyal may fight to the bitter end.
So, the IDF might be facing armed civilians as well as Hamas.

IDF launches broad attack against thousands of targets in Gaza: 'Whoever reaches the fence to enter Israel will die'​

The Israel Defense Forces have launched a "broad attack against thousands of targets in Gaza," killing Hamas militants, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said on X.

Hagari said the destruction of anyone who was part of the attack on Israel "is a top priority" and continued to urge Gaza City residents to evacuate to the south.

“The IDF has a very large presence in the north. Whoever reaches the fence to enter Israel will die," Hagari continued. "Every incident is the full responsibility of the state of Lebanon and it will bear the cost. We are in a broad logistical operation aimed at ensuring the readiness of the forces and responding with protective equipment to those fighting in all sectors, according to the prioritization of combat — Gaza first.”

US charter flight takes 150 people to Israel, including army reservists going to war​

At least 150 people have departed Los Angeles International Airport Saturday on a charter flight to Israel. Many are Israeli Americans who are going to help in the war effort.

“I'm American. I’m Israeli. It’s very simple … my home is here, and my home is there,” 28-year-old Dorel Meiri told CNN.

The former Israeli army commander grew up in Los Angeles but spent time as a paratrooper in the Israeli army. Meiri, now a real estate professional in L.A., said he was motivated to return to Israel after seeing days of bloodshed on the news and hearing about the deaths of two of his friends, one a fellow soldier,.

“I feel obligated and almost a desire — and more so, a need — to go right now,” Meiri said. “(Staying in the US) is not an option. And every day I tell myself, 'Once I can figure out getting a flight, I’m gone.'”

He and dozens of others desperate to get to Israel learned of a flight organized by the upstart charity Israel Friends, which formed shortly after the Hamas attacks last weekend.

Its lead organizer, Jordan Fried, told CNN the flight cost more than $1 million and is also carrying “tons” of supplies, including batteries, protective vests and medical supplies.

Among those waiting in the LAX terminal to board the flight was 37-year-old David Frankel, an Israeli citizen who fled with his wife and two children to Southern California following the Hamas attacks a week ago. Frankel is an Israeli army reservist and said he was called up to serve while in California.

“It’s heartbreaking, but I’m doing it because it’s necessary,” Frankel told CNN. “It’s sadly the reason I’m leaving my boys behind. I had to say goodbye to them in their sleep just a few hours ago. I'm obviously nervous … I want to see my boys grow up. But you have to put that aside and stop the madness that’s happening.”

The itinerary of the Israel Friends charter flight is being kept private for security reasons

If you watched the first video interview with families of missing, this father was weeping speaking of his daughters. Sadly, their bodies were found.

I saw one video the other day inside a burned up house.

The occupants of the house hid in a safe room. The terrorists couldn’t get to them in there. So they lit the whole house on fire.

And they were the “lucky” ones.
