They’ve hit another refugee camp. They are out of control!

The professors at Columbia sum up my feelings more clearly than I can:

But most people totally agree with the points made in that letter. Criticising Israeli for bombing civilian areas is in no way connected to any acceptance or approval of what Hamas did. I'm appalled by both sides - both have committed war crimes.

People do know that Hamas is firing rockets towards Israel constantly as well, right? Granted they're managing to do far less damage but that's not through any care taken by Hamas to avoid civilian casualties, it's because Israel have far superior defense systems. Nevertheless the danger is not zero.

I'm sorry - WHAT?

This is your response to a refugee camp being bombed? I REPEAT, THIS IS YOUR RESPONSE?

If you replaced 'arab' with 'jew', now that would be problematic wouldn't it? Do you see where we're going here?

Edited

It's a racist psycho bitch quote anyway, not sure why the poster thought it was necessary to post that in all earnestness. People have no shame.

They will keep hitting refugee camps, hospitals, schools etc. They don't care, and our government is supporting it.

Not all of the people killed by Hamas were Jewish or Israeli and not all of their hostages are Israeli or Jewish either . They have kidnapped 22 Thai people who were working on the Kibbutz and murdered 32 of them. There are also Nepalese, Chinese and Sri Lankans among the kidnapped hostages.

My heart hurts for every mother who has lost her child in this and for every child who has lost their mother.

It is strange in all these videos and pictures we see of bodies being dug out of rubble and carnage, people running for shelter they all seem to be missing their guns and rifles and other weapons paraphernalia you'd expect them to have considering theres meant to be hamas there!

Well quite. They're a lot safer in the tunnels below the civilians.

Have the Israeli hostages been released ? I doubt any of this will end until they are released. It’s all horrific.

How do we know if they're still alive even? If Hamas (and Palestinians) are being bombed and killed everywhere, I doubt they'll be able to keep the hostages alive even if they wanted to.

It is absolutely horrific. How can they possibly justify it?

Let’s imagine a similar scenario in a very different setting. Imagine, if you will, a group of terrorists from Manchester had planned a hideous attack on Scotland killing and kidnapping Scottish citizens.
We are going to go with the number of civilians of Manchester as being 2 million (the population of Gaza).

Now let’s imagine that here in the city there were an estimated 20 000 people Scotland blamed for these awful terrorist attacks (estimated number of Hamas). some of that number may also be the political wing and not the actual terrorists.

Would it be ok for Scotland to endlessly bomb and kill all the innocent citizens of ‘Manchester’, over half of them children? Cut off all their food and water? Let hospitals run out of power. Not let anyone leave the city confines? Would it be fine for hospitals, housing estates and schools to be wiped out? Would that ever possibly be acceptable? if we were seeing endless footage of Manchester’s families trapped under rubble, children having amputations with no anaesthesia on hospital floors after bomb injuries, or toddlers too terrified and dehydrated to even cry after their families have died.

If that wouldn’t be ok, then what is happening in Gaza is not ok.

So true! If it is not acceptable for us then why should it be acceptable for the innocent people of Gaza. My heart bleeds for them everyday. They have been caged for decades and have nowhere to go, deprived of food, medicine, water and electricity. These are innocent people! I wish the world would be as outraged for them as they are for the Jewish lives lost.

How will any hostages survive this? Also they have no water food or fuel

I think 4 by Hamas and 1 rescued by Israel

The alternative is that Israel want to kill all Palestinians not just Hamas

There's plenty on here that believe exactly that, while also uncritically believing every utterance from Hamas.

Sure there is, you just keep on thinking that @SomeCatFromJapan , saves you accepting the truth about what Israel are doing.

The school footage looks strange, lot's of injured children but no obvious bomb. What happened there?

Sometimes strikes can cause total destruction like how we saw in the Jabaliya camp hence alot more casualties
And sometimes they are smaller and affect only parts of larger buildings like some of the schools targeted today
A total of four UN schools were struck within 24 hours

They’ve hit another refugee camp

Sky news have reported a school where people were sheltering has been bombed now too.
It's horrific. The Palestinians have nowhere to go. I wish they would just stop. But they won't, will they? Not until they've killed them all.

Few urnwa schools have been bombarded and people killed in them.

I would assume they are , I think it’s more likely Israel are targeting Hamas within refugee camps using the refugees as human shields which is abhorrent and also Israel then bombing them is abhorrent.

The alternative is that Israel want to kill all Palestinians not just Hamas

unfourtunately I believe that they want to get rid of the Palestinians (and so are the words from some of the people in the Israel government)

taking into account they’ve also bombed un buildings (was hamas there as well?) and many other places (today they’ve killed a journalist with their family) I believe they’re targeting refugee camps to threat the people and to kill innocents rather than because hamas is using them as a shield. And there is no proof of being in these camps (If there was and they’re now in land why not go and directly kill them rather than throwing 6 air strikes that would kill them or not and would kill many more innocent people )

are there proofs that Hamas is there ? And I don’t take that Israel says that they’ve killed xyz in one of those attacks where 120 people have been killed. I don’t trust a single word Israel says

It’s obvious that Hamas thought by hiding in refugee camps they’d be safe as nobody would bomb them …… but Israel clearly don’t care. They should have used all this power and force to strengthen their own defences not this
