@Alohapotato this is from BBC verify by the way
Israel have shown absolutely no regard for civilians
They have made it clear that the end justifies the means no matter how many must die

Why is Israeli bombing refugee camps in Gaza?

@2boys1princess Hamas absolutely are in the west bank. They are a global operation, they are involved in a quite a few activities.

Israel have the infrastructure to kill all the Gazans if they want to, they don't do it because it's nor their goal, they don't target civilians but hamas hide among civilians .

Just because they 'can' but have not wiped Gaza off the face of the earth does not mean that they care about the innocent gazan civilians
they continue to bomb indiscriminately including areas in the south which were 'Israeli designated safe zones' the same places they told the civilians to move to for their own safety

In underground tunnels (or at least that's the argument) which probably aren't being harmed by the bombing....

I said it up thread but don't Israel have the best special forces in the world? Aren't there better ways than obliterating a civilian population, to remove terrorists hiding in tunnels underneath them?

Prior to recent events, Gaza is not occupied in the same way that downtown Leningrad was not occupied by Hitlers armies.
Gaza been under seige since 2007.

under siege and occupied? 20,000 people had permits to work in Israel. Garzans were treated in hospitals for free in Israel. Israel supplied water and electricity purely for humanitarian reasons. Sounds like despite everything there was some cooperation going on there.

But perhaps Israel was naive because look at what happened when the wall was breached?

Are Israelis now thinking they were right to build the wall and now right to keep it closed forever. Its a shame that any prior cooperations are now gone. Thats on Hamas

What do you mean by Palestine? Gaza is not occupied. Israeli's left in 2005. The west bank is a mixed area with some under control of the PA and some under Israeli control. Some land bitterly contested from what i understand.

They don’t want any Palestinians at all, anywhere.
Have you seen what is going on in West Bank?

War criminals.

and wants to leave a longside you!

yes
innocent pepole who's killed
this is really horrible both side!
if somebody have another idea!
how I can leave here in israel
when hamas across the border!!! please give me a call!

So you admit that Palestines in the West Bank are also subjected to horrific conditions and abuse despite there being no Hamas there? So basically as far as Israel is concerned, being a Palestinian is a crime and must be punished? Hamas or no Hamas.

As for you fighting for the world and saving us from Hamas. Please don’t. Not in my name. Or the millions of people around the world protesting, who have woken up to what is really happening out there. We don’t want the blood of innocents in our hand. You can keep it.

The genocide apologists are truly delusional
no one is buying it anymore folks

You know what I mean? Israel is bombing Gaza but nothing that gets bombed in Gaza is anything to do with them.

Utterly bonkers.

Hamas want us dead. What are we supposed to do?

The rest of the Western world is next. Britain, America. Islamic Jihad/Hamas want us all dead.

I see this more in the context of military occupation of Palestine and the Apartheid policies there.
Support a 2 state solution, turn away from Hamas extremists and Netanyahus gang of far right wing Ultras. Moderate palestinian partners for peace wait in the wings to make steps towards a solution. Would Netanyahu engage with them over the years-No.

The UN and many human rights organisations continue to consider Gaza as occupied by Israel due to the blockade it has enforced

Why did Hamas storm and murder people at a concert?

I don't know why people ask silly questions like this. Hamas are a proscribed terrorist organization. Their aim is to invoke terror. State members are supposed to act civilly and adhere to international law. The real question should be is why has a State member killed almost eight times the victims of the proscribed terrorist group? And that is not counting the deaths of the decades before.

queenofarles · 31/10/2023 18:45

I thought the IDF claimed they never target civilians and are very precise with their targets ,

6 bombs , each weight a ton were dropped on the refuge camp, 400 casualties , mostly women and children.

the images are beyond horrific , body parts everywhere 😭😭,

Nothing justifies this massacre , shame on the Israeli government they are truly barbaric.

Edited

The IDF do indeed always claim not to target civilians.
The Russian army makes the same claims in Ukraine whilst bombing maternity hospitals, schools, markets etc.
Its just words really.
Both of these militaries have no regard for civilians.

also,
correct me if I wrong.
there is any pakisatnic organization who's calling for india to be just gone from the world?

Yes, there are dozens of Pakistani and other Islamic terror outfits calling for India and Hindus to be eliminated from the world, so they can establish a Caliphate. Thousands have been killed by Islamic terrorists in India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and across Asia. And in the UK, for that matter. That does not mean Muslims worldwide deserve to be massacred in retaliation.

Hamas is not Palestine.

Was that confirmed? I've been deep in half term and haven't read as much as I would like to

No, it hasn’t been confirmed.

Channel 4 carried out an independent investigation which showed that the Israeli “evidence” was completely falsified and made up.

You can watch from 3 minutes in:
https://www.channel4.com/news/who-was-behind-the-gaza-hospital-blast-visual-investigation

Likewise, all BBC experts stressed that although they can speculate from photos, it is exactly that; speculation. They’d need to go in to Gaza to investigate in person, which Israel has blocked - go figure.

The US has also refused to do an investigation into the bombing, you can watch the video here of them refusing:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IGOqsbd7k6Q

So if all Israeli “evidence” is laughably made-up, and both Israel and the US have blocked an on-site independent investigation, you can see how it looks…

Who was behind the Gaza hospital blast – visual investigation

So what do we actually know about the hospital blast - and the contradicting claims by Israel and Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the UK? It's been impossible to carry out any independent verification - but we’ve been examining t...

Wait for confirmation. There is a propaganda war. Yesterday Israel reported having rescued a female IDF soldier. They also reported they found the head of Shani Louk who had been raped, paraded, spat on. This was after Hamas said she was in hospital with a head injury. This all made Hamas look awful (could they look any worse). When i saw this news it was with skepticism, hence the wait and see approach. This could easily be another stray Hamas missile.

Hamas are widely known to hide behind civilians and operate from hospitals, schools etc so this could have been a military target that Hamas sadly smother with civilians to protect it.

Hamas have also apparently been preventing civilians from leaving the northern strip after Israel repeatedly warned of air and land attacks and told them to go south 2 weeks ago. Hamas need those bodies to stay over the tunnels and around the military targets.

Whatever the truth is Hamas can end this now. They can surrender, hand over the hostages. Israel withdraws. Aid goes in. They can save their own people now, but they don't.

Not sure how Hamas can end this disaster. Wouldnt Palestine still be illegally and militarilly occupied if all Hamas agreed to go into Israeli custody?

@Parkingt111
ohhh the hamas said it was 400 killes?
they look like "good guys"
they just get into israel killed,raped and kidnapped 1500 pepole , they probably tell the truth

do you know sir,
here in israel have more then 1500 boddies
it's take us more then 2 weeks to count!
and we still counting!

if I like to see their homes bombed
sure don't
this is really horrofic!
but think about that
3 weeks into the war
the only thing there left in Gazza. is rockets amd missilse .

and not even 1 shelter!!

It was a surgical doctor working at the hospital said they had 400 casualties come in from which 120 were dead
I'm sure you have seen pictures of the aftermath of the blast including the two large craters
And given the number of people living there why would you assume the doctor is lying?

2boys1princess · 01/11/2023 14:38

2boys1princess · 01/11/2023 14:37

What would I do?
I wouldn’t kill more than 8000 in retaliation and continue to kill. Remember the ones dying aren’t the ones that started the war. Most are children. None of the dying have weapons to protect themselves.
you think freeing the people of Palestine from from Hamas is the answer? It isn’t. The Palestinians in the West Bank are free from Hamas. There’s no Hamas there, yet they are still subjected to the same violence by Israelis.
The world now can see that Hamas is just an excuse to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.
who actually believes that if Hamas were to be eliminated, the Palestinian people will have the same rights as the Israeli Jews? Nah. That won’t happen.

Sorry that was @IstandWithIsrael

icewoman · 31/10/2023 17:44

Its horrific, but lets wait until the details are verified before we start chucking around blame - remember the hospital, Isreal was blamed, it turned out to be a missile from within gaza

I dont think its been proven to be a missile from Gaza which hit the hospital. The IDFs version of events are still disputed, or so it seems.
