Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Where are all those people wailing about Hamas being monsters for killing babies? This should make them even angrier and louder.

Now don't be silly, you're implying there is logic and reason to their arguments instead of just emotion.

Absolutely disgusting in every way. War is the product of infantile minds and sick abusive hearts. These kids did not deserve to die for the stupidity and perverse beliefs of the adults surrounding them. Shame on Israel for this murderous atrocity and shame on Hamas for engaging in warlike acts of child murder as well. NO ONE is above blame for this horrendous show of inhumane and despicable sickness.

If you live in USA or EU your government is ok with this

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 43 points 1 year ago

Since I live in the USA, actually we fund it to the tune of several billion a year and then some.

Yeah killing innocent children isn't the solution to anything. Shameful shit that the Whitehouse supports this horror

The EU just confirmed that they are fine with this as well. Apparently they see no problem as long as Israel says they are trying to hit terrorists. Un-f*cking-believable!

The previous mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, ended their status as sister city with Tel Aviv over the systematic crimes from the state of Israel against Palestinians. The immediate reaction of the Israeli embassy was denouncing her as antisemitic, both in the media and in courts, which recently found her innocent.

The position that denouncing Israeli crimes is antisemitic has been the official position of Israel for decades, and that's a very dangerous game for the well-being of Jews in a world where actual nazis are slowly gaining power, because once you're run the term down through the ground, calling actual hate crimes against Jews "antisemitic" will no longer have any meaning.

Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say "everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist".

This gut wrenching. Fuck those in power responsible for this.

Humans once again going batshit crazy with mass murder riding on a wave of vengeance. It's a disease with no cure.

It is all and well within the limit of a "proportionate" response exercising the "right of selfdefence"! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.
