IDF airstrikes reportedly carried out on 'humanitarian area'

You have to twist your mind in new and interesting ways to continue to support Israel's actions and convince yourself it's OK.

Are you saying that it's ok to kill thousands of civilians because Hamas hate them too? I cant understand this "logic"

They've gone beyond defence now.

Yes, Hamas is evil. Nobody is disputing that fact.

But it is equally evil to bomb civilians. It's funny that no Hamas leaders are being killed in these attacks, but hundreds upon hundreds of innocent Palestinian women and children are being exterminated.

Exactly. The missiles sent off towards Tel Aviv were launched from here. In full and correct expectation that Israel would retaliate. Fucking hamas hate Palestinian people every bit much as they hate Israelis.

Apart from 1 or 2 actually.

Yes. This happens every time there's a high profile atrocity committed by Israel. They'll be back in a few days.

It's still surprising how, not just on this thread but on others too where this is being discussed, there is so much silence from the pro Israelis about this.

One day they will get their comeuppance

Never thought the day I would see this although I don't doubt if it's just lip service either

Thank you, @EllaDisenchanted and horror though I feel at the IDF, I know that if I were actually in your shoes, living there with my family, I would want to feel safe and be at peace and perhaps even feel there is no perfect way and not know what the solution is.

I’m not here to pick a fight, scrolling, and I know you aren’t either. I get your anger and pain. I don’t go on a lot of these threads, but I saw what happened, and was trying, maybe clumsily, to express my upset and regret 💔

@EllaDisenchanted I am so sorry, I forgot you yourself are in Israel when I responded to your post. May you be safe from those Hamas rockets and the constant fear of attacks.

Hamas sending those rockets is deplorable, idiotic and does not even try to target soldiers as opposed to civilians.

I heard that too.
The IDF were apparently precision targeting a Hamas compound they knew to be in that vicinity and this ignited a fire which spread to the camp of tents.

The IDF say they are continuing operations in Rafah as they know there are Hamas battalions there. A battalion is up to 1000 fighters. (So they must mean 2000plus.)

How many Palestinian civilians including children were killed/burned alive, in a place where they had withdrawn to where they were supposed to be safe?

35, with many many more likely hideously injured and maimed.

How many Hamas fighters from the ‘Hamas battalions’ they believe to be in Rafah did the IDF kill in this brave, thoughtful operation?

I just can't. It's horrific. Worse than your worst nightmares.

There's a special place in hell for those responsible.

Thanks @EllaDisenchanted, I hope you're all keeping safe too.

I just want it to stop. 🛑
It was too much death and destruction by mid-October, I don’t know how anyone can comtinue to support this.

Those poor children. Really haunting scenes coming out this evening. My heart feels so heavy, there is just no end to the pain Palestinians are having to endure 💔

This has to stop. Fgs it's too much.

There is no defence of this.
Anyone who tries to is inhuman.

There are no words.
This world is lost.. if 1 single person thinks this is in anyway defensable.
I genuinly cry for us all

Update from ActionAid in Gaza. Horrendous.

This was shared on the Gaza medic page that i follow

Thank you Ella 💔

It is only a matter of time before one of the "But Hamas..." brigade shows up.

In your scenario it is the soldier.

A soldier is a legitimate target in a war and was not harmed.

A child is a civilian, and the soldier is not legally permitted to retaliate by shooting through a child to hit a terrorist. Or even shoot through an adult male or female civilian. Hostages are not targets.

Collective punishment and targeting of civilians is prohibited.

I’m so sorry parking 💔 it’s devastating

@Jonismorf I don’t know the answer to that one. I don’t think anyone comes out of it looking good in the end.
