I was alot younger then but I certainly did read up on it
And if we continue with that rhetoric It would mean we dismiss everything happening in Gaza
Despite the UN saying there is a risk of genocide

I quoted the wording a reputable news agency used.

It was a convoy of ambulances that was targeted. There is no justification for this attack. None.

I've also just seen some disturbing footage doing the rounds on twitter showing a mass of shot bodies on Al Rasheed Beach Road in Gaza. No sign of airstrikes or anything so the talk seems to be Hamas attempting to prevent people leaving.

I've only seen this on X though so not verified, and not at this point being reported by any of the mainstream news agencies.

I've seen that too Sad

Again - use words responsibly. Saying an ambulance was targeted is a lie. Instead, say it was hit. Language matters.

Do you honestly think that it was an accidental hit? Honestly?

Instead of saying killed by Israeli forces say unalived by a country defending itself.

Is that the kind of thing you would prefer, I'd hate to use words irresponsibly, that would be so much worse than using weapons of war irresponsibly.

Can you even hear yourself?

So you think Israel "are known for" unprovoked random attacks on civilians.

Right.

Show quote history

yes. Look at what’s been happening for years on the West Bank. Watch some documentaries. Do your own research.

Having previously worked in ICU I'm no stranger to seeing traumatic injuries but that is horrific.

This attack on an ambulance is clearly much worse in terms of innocent deaths and suffering.

ketchup07070 · 03/11/2023 15:33

@Parkingt111 I do remember when Israel was bombing Gaza in 2021 they struck the building of the Associated Press Offices. No, the French will not be happy about an attack on their journalism, but also on one of their cultural institutions.

Oh my God.

It's absolutely awful, poor people

DirectionToPerfection · 03/11/2023 15:32

This is horrific and it's disgusting that people will minimise, deflect and excuse the murder of vulnerable civilians.

As the Irish Taoiseach said, this isn't self defense, it's about getting revenge.

@Parkingt111 Bizarre to target French Journalism. I don't know what the French Institute does, but presumably it screens French cinema, offers French classes etc? I wonder why the army would strike it.

It was also a news office
And the latest in the ongoing attack on journalists in gaza
Luckily nobody was in the office at the time of the strike

It's still coming onto major news channels

FOJN · 03/11/2023 15:24

I imagine if you are trying to avoid civilian casualties you don't force more Palestinians into a war zone.

Well the French aren't currently too happy about this

LittleMsTellTheTruth · 03/11/2023 15:18

It is @hamstersarse .
You are welcome to google the statistics. Israel has long history of this, so it’s pretty well documented in the past and now.

So you think Israel "are known for" unprovoked random attacks on civilians.

Right.

Nicesalad · 03/11/2023 15:20

If the ambulance in the photo had been targeted by an airstrike wouldn't there be more damage to it?

Health ministry in Gaza say it was carrying critically wounded people for treatment in Egypt, according to Guardian live. I hope there will be more details soon.
