Israeli airstrikes destroyed a tower block in Gaza City after Hamas militants launched a rocket and air attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with Israel's president, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the country, is 'at war'.

Al Jazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live from Gaza the moment the missile struck Palestine Tower behind her.

Sources in Gaza said at least 198 Palestinians were killed in the strikes

You are missing the point, I have defended my thesis with a couple of facts and even provided a link, your point is only based on assumptions and you failed to deliver any verifiable fact.

If the link you presented had anything to do with the paragraph you presented in, I absolutely missed it, can you please draw the connection for me?

I have asked you to provide any verifiable link of convicted IDF soldiers, but you did not.

I missed that.

That's the first one I could find, I'm busy, what with it being Simchat Torah in the diaspora.

Anything to say about the Jenin refugee camp, do you think using excessive violence there was justifiable?

Well, you begged the question there, and I'm not intimately familiar with the situation, but from what I understand, not particularly, no.

Have you ever wondered why Israel is not a member of the ICC, or which other countries are not part and why?

No. I never cared. I don't know why Israel would subject itself to any kind of international jurisdiction, with the way the international community treats it. Have you seen how obsessed the UN securuity council is with Israel, while it ignores human rights violations everywhere else in the world? Why the fuck would we want to invite more of that?

I just looked it up, Israel stated its reasons, it objects to the language about population transfer: https://press.un.org/en/1998/19980720.l2889.html. I'm sure you have a much more conspiratorial reason in mind?

And I'm familiar with fucking Amnesty International and HRW, I'm not living under a rock.
