This is the reality of what Israel is doing (part 2)

Ramadan seemed like ages away, and now no progress has been made, and it's tomorrow. I really fear for what's going to happen

That's dreadful. There is no reason at all that the army of an occupier should be dragging a child away. It's even more dreadful when you know how they treat the children once they have abducted them from their homes.

My eyes work though.

And you're trying to tell us an IDF soldier shot a man with 4 bullets and there isn't a drop of blood to be seen.

And I have a bridge I can sell you...

Your beliefs, ideology or whatever you want to call it.

"Hard to watch" ?? You got that right !

The clip is on the slosh and you can't see what the people are doing because they are behind a vehicle and too far away.

Too silly for words.

"You're so far in it "

What on earth does that mean?

This is near Jenin, so not Gaza obviously. IDF kidnapping (I assume they'd call it "arresting") a 7 year old child. Hard to watch.

You're so far in it you literally won't even believe your own eyes anymore. Fascinating.

There is no proof in that video as to how the man was killed.

If the soldier had shot him with 4 bullets there would be much blood.

The bullets are 0.22"/0.5 cm and apparently make quite a mess at close range.

I would say the footage has been edited/spliced

So I call BS on this one.

Thank you, I can no longer understand our so called leaders motivations anymore.

Also the threat of the invasion was being held off until Ramadan to make time for the hostage-ceasefire negotiations - time has marched steadily on and suddenly it seems Ramadan is tomorrow

.

Tomorrow is the start of Ramadhan. That's why it's being threatened for tomorrow. To cause maximum pain for the global Muslim community.

The Oscars are broadcast tomorrow.
The last big assault on Rafah happened during the Super Bowl broadcast. So people are bracing themselves for another assault whilst the American public is distracted.

A 12 storey residential building in Rafah home to over 300 people was destroyed overnight by IDF - the building was 500m from the border wall

Concerns that Israel is stepping up attacks on Rafah in preparation for a ground invasion

Reports of multiple people injured in Gaza City by air dropped food aid - thankfully do not seem to have been any fatalities today

.

I don't understand the relevance of your claim that Hamas knew what would happen? So what? Thar doesn't change the the fact that Israel has killed tens of thousands of civilians and is starving most of the population.

There is always fault on both sides of every conflict. However, Hamas knew what they were doing. They knew such a barbaric assault would lead to the reaction we have seen from Israel. That is why they did it. They knew it would result in the tragic scenes we are witnessing in The Gaza Strip. They did it any way.

Much of what Israel has done I do not or will never agree with. BN is a man I have very little respect for. However, they are surrounded by enemies who's only objective is their complete annihilation.

Israel had killed civilians few days before the 7/10 attack so I don’t think it was only Hamas fault. I do think both are at fault

Indeed...... Which is why I clearly stated....... " The latest escalation in this conflict".

However, they are not looking to deliberately starve civilians in the same way Hamas deliberately murdered and raped in October. There is a clear distinction for people to see.

So you do think that they are accidently starving people even though they explicitly stated that their plan to starve people. For me, no there isn't a clear distinction between murdering someone with a weapon and murdering them by intentionally starving them death over a period of months. Both result in the horrendous deaths of innocent people. Both are unspeakably cruel.

Tbh I'm not sure how much clearer Israel could have been when they told us what their intentions were back in October. I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. If you choose to believe that it is a coincidence or just accidental that people are starving when Israel explicitly stated that there will be no food there is absolutely no point in discussion.

Firstly....... It is very important to remember that this didn’t start on 7/10

Firstly....... It is very important to remember who initiated the latest escalation in this tragically long conflict. It was Hamas. They did so with their invasion of Israel and their deliberate killing, raping, and beheading of innocent men, women and children. If you have seen the clips I have you will know that many did this with enjoyment. They did so knowing exactly how Israel would respond. They did so knowing that it would lead to the death of thousands of innocent Palestinians. They did not care, They did it anyway.

I am sure that we all agree that Israel has the right to defend itself and respond to such deliberate acts of murderous barbarity don't we? However, this does not give them carte blanche to break international rules of engagement. They rightfully have the moral high ground, but if they want to keep it they need to be careful about respecting those international rules. I believe there are examples where they have not, and I am not talking about individuals gone rogue. Some may make the point that Hamas does not respect said rules, but that is why they are generally regarded as a terrorists.

Regarding your point about Israels objective in displacing poor innocent Palestinian civilians, a tactic that has led to much suffering. Their objective is clear. By displacing those citizens they believe it will be easier to rout out Hamas who have a long record of using innocent people as human shields. It is not a tactic that I agree with given the huge suffering it causes. However, they are not looking to deliberately starve civilians in the same way Hamas deliberately murdered and raped in October. There is a clear distinction for people to see. However, that distinction means little to the poor people suffering on the ground.

As I said........ The whole thing is dreadful. It is made even more dreadful because I cannot see a solution to it. Many on here talk of a "two state solution" as some kind of cure all, but I do not think it will happen, and even if it did that would not be enough for the jihadists who will settle for nothing less than the complete destruction of the Jewish State of Israel.

There will be ebbs and flows in the violence, but it will continue to be the vicious circle that it has been for so many years. Tragic.

Thanks for clarifying that @EasterIssland it wasn't clear in what I read hence my unwarranted scepticism

It's rather unclear.

There is no footage of the soldier actually shooting the individual, there just seems to be a (blanked out) body on the floor.

There is no proof the scene of the soldiers talking, is connected with the body (?)
