Why is Israeli bombing refugee camps in Gaza?

If the side wants to continue being seen as a 'democracy' as opposed to a terrorist organisation then yes it does

The rules don't apply to Hamas, They can do what they like. Only one side needs to abide by the 'rules'.

Do you condemn war crimes?

No answers from any of the many who feel the attacks are justified because people were told to move?

Hamas keep talking but no one believes them or listens to them. Its like they are dancing around going 'hey guys over here we are totally evil please notice us'. Meanwhile the world just attends to Israel. It baffling.

Seriously Is it racism from the west, that we expect higher standards from jews/Israelis and we simply and at the heart of it view the Palestinian/Arabs as less capable of reason, intellect and just inherently more violent.

I find it very telling that there is barely a mention of Hamas being part of the decision making process in any way.

Straightforward question, do you condemn war crimes?

I wouldn’t know what Hamas look like.
All i know is that just by announcing in advance that you’re going to bomb crucial areas (that are much needed at this time like hospitals and shelters), doesn’t make it alright. The children and injured in hospitals as well as the medical staff can’t just up and leave can they. It’s actually worse telling them in advance knowing very well that bombs and rockets are coming, but they have no where to go. The only reason they announced it was to try to justify mass murder as usual. It definitely wasn’t in the best interest for the Palestinian civilians with no where to escape to.

What, out of interest, do you think Hamas should do?

Cue: But the BBC's run by Nazis! rubbish.

Someone had better tell Laura Keunssberg, cos she hasn't noticed.

Because there are terrorists hiding there. Let's not forget what started all this.

They just hide behind “Hamas were hiding there and not our fault they used the innocent Palestinian civilians as human shields” narrative.

They told the world what they were going to do, before they'd fired the first artillery shell. They said that they would bomb hospitals and shelters and justified it in advance.

In all the pictures and footage of dead and injured, none of those helping are Hamas fighters, are they?

Even the BBC is now exposing Israel’s lies

Many terrorist attacks have happened here in the U.K. from the gunpowder plot to the attacks in London and the Manchester arena. Did the government go and bomb all of us in the hope of finding the perpetrators? Did it kill your children and elderly family members? Cut off your food, electricity, water and destroy your local hospitals.
the attacks on the Palestinian people are nothing but a mass genocide. They aren’t the ones committing terrorist attacked on the innocent Israeli civilians.
Just like you and I and our families have human rights, the Palestinian people should also have human rights. Is it that hard to understand

Memri is a fanatical anti-Palestinian and ant-Muslim site, dedicated to "correcting" reports about Israel. Their raison detre is propaganda, lies and forged reports.

@2boys1princess Thank you so much for seeing and caring for the people of Gaza. I would say that, though there is no official army, there are Hamas and that there have been 13 Israeli soldiers killed now. The loss of those young lives grieves me as much as the loss of young Gazans. It's all rich, older men and women, well fed, in expensive suits sending the young to their deaths.

And this is the kind of bullshit that I mentioned no one believes anymore. People can say this over and over again, no one believe it anymore. As there is simply no evidence. The only evidence out there is that Israeli army are killing children in the thousands and each time they use the excuse: Hamas was hiding there. Hamas this, Hamas that. All bullshit. They have special forces, they can at least attempt to go in and take out the Hamas members without killing innocent civilians.
you said in your post that if a group of people did that here, you would be angry at government if they didn’t stop going after them. Would you be willing to have your family and friends and homes destroyed in the process? Our government wouldn’t even think about bombing a whole civilian area, hospitals, shelters, schools because that’s genocide.

Yes, I think a lot of us have been absolutely amazed at their resilience, faith and courage. A lot of people world wide have nothing but admiration for the Palestinian people, whereas before were totally oblivious or ignorant. I feel ashamed I was one of them.
The tens of thousands of people (from all walks of life) protesting here and across the globe are proof of how people have stopped believing the propaganda and lies coming from Israel and the politicians in countries like the US and U.K.
people have chosen to be on the right side of history and no longer believe their lies. We can’t do much, but we can certainly speak the truth which is blatantly obvious to everyone now. Israel is killing children and women and the elderly. The war is disproportionate, they are murdering children with bombs and weapons and all they have are stones and sticks to defend themselves. They tell them to evacuate areas and go to refugee camps/shelters and within hours they bomb them. This has happened so many times in the last few days. They tell them to leave and then as they are doing so, they murder them.
I still cannot believe a whole army in Israel is destroying a nation who have no army, weapons and are literally all kids. What a brave army the Israelis have!

In support of @EasterIssland comment, people are tired remember they’ve been having reduced food and liquid for 3 weeks now. The roads are impassable so moving again means walking for hours and they just don’t have the energy.

For the “but Hamas” screamers look at the instagram accounts of people on the ground in Gaza they’ve all lost weight, they all look exhausted, their eyes look gaunt.

I watched a story yesterday of a woman who’d just given birth to twins 10 days ago and they were asking how she was re their birth. Her response should resonate with every mother here, they had to get up and go she couldn’t take the baby stuff they had ordered, they couldn’t take their other things etc they just had to leave their home and then it was bombed. So they got out with the clothes on their back and their children.

Can I have a link ? Keen to read more about this please. Thanks!

Yes exactly this it seems. They just hide behind “Hamas were hiding there and not our fault they used the innocent Palestinian civilians as human shields” narrative. The world knows it’s bullshit now, but what can anyone do?
If Hamas was hiding in a densely populated Israeli territory with innocent Israeli civilians, they would use special operations to dig them out, not flatten the whole place.
It’s becoming more and more clear that Palestinians are just not seen as worthy humans with any rights and that murdering them in the hundreds and thousands is ok as long as a handful of Hamas members are killed.

Palestinians seem like the bravest people on earth to me, for al the reasons you state @Horrificallyuntidy They are also intelligent, cultured, compassionate and would probably share their last meal with you - such is their hospitality. I don't think the world cam allow these people to be wiped out.

According to Wikipedia she’s an Israel supporter and opponent of gay rights. Her opinion to me means nothing

Hamas just said they don't want a ceasefire. They want to repeat October 7 and kill and rape and behead every Israeli. I was supportive of a humanitarian pause but I don't really think that is viable now.

If someone said they wanted to rape, kill, behead every Briton, I would be very angry at our government if they decided to stop attacking those nutters.
