The IDF have reportedly carried out airstrikes on displaced people, in an area Israel designated a 'humanitarian area'. They told people to go there, displaced people to that area, and have now reportedly bombed it.

Airstrikes on Rafah reportedly kill 30 after Hamas launches rockets at Tel Aviv

Medics in the southern Gaza city say the strikes hit an area of tents being used by displaced people.

But you still felt the urge to retort? x

There is something so cruel and evil about bombing refugees sheltering in tents. Shane on anyone who defends this.

PeasfullPerson · 27/05/2024 21:40

What happened to the tent camp in Rafah was grim.

What has been happening for the last six months is grim.

What has been happening for years is grim.

I’m pleased to see many leaders speaking against this, but it isn’t anything new.

The people in Palestine are not less deserving of peace and safety, and hopes and dreams, than the people of Israel, or the people of any other place on this earth.

"How dare you accuse people of supporting genocide when you only have compassion for some victims."

That is not fair at all.

Of course folks have compassion for the victims and hostages of Oct 7th.

But this is not "an eye for an eye".

This is indiscriminate bombing and mass slaughter of starving children who are trapped.

And please, don't give me the human shield claptrap. There hasn't been a single human shield that caused Israel to hold fire. Not one.

Gaza is an unliveable graveyard. That was always the end game.

Yes I've heard it can be hard to hold more than one idea in your head at a time.

Half a year ago? Have you ever lost someone you care about, in the worst possible circumstances. Well get over it.

If your compassion is only for one side you are part of the problem.

The way Israelis justify genocide is so supremely disgusting. This was a refugee camp. Which the Israelis forced the Gazans into. You will be just as complicit one day for genocide with these views. Our kids will be learning about you in history lessons on how you justified the slaughter of innocents to yourselves. Absolutely vile with your faux outrage. The world has realised what is going on and these excuses are no longer accepted.

There are people saying that Palestinian aggression is justified whilst expecting those caught up in 7/10 to move on with compassion and no hard feelings.

Did you see the link I posted earlier, about 2 Israelis torn apart with bare hands and their organs held aloft in celebration to cheering crowds? Someones son, brother, husband.
None of it is OK.

How dare you accuse people of supporting genocide when you only have compassion for some victims.

Those Hamas cunts deliberately launched an attack whilst hiding behind innocent children in the full knowledge that the IDF would retaliate in this way. If a terrorist shoots at a soldier and the soldier returns fire and the terrorist holds up a child to shield himself from the bullets, who is the murderer?

Based on this logic police should just blow up a school if there’s a school shooter inside.

AhNowTed · 27/05/2024 21:19

"whilst hiding behind innocent children"

Spare me the faux outrage.

Israel couldn't care less if it was an entire school of 5 year olds.

They bomb them all anyway.

The excuse that’s being used to try to justify what the IDF are currently doing.

Many Jewish people see it as having a homeland in Israel, if you are antizionist to the point that you think Israel shouldn't exist ( in any form) I think you are perpetuating the hate.

Vote for the Lib Dems , the only party opposed to the genocide.

Or the SNP, or Plaid Cymru, for voters in Scotland and Wales.

Two high-profile right-wing pundits posted photos on Xcomparing the fatal blaze in Rafah to bonfires lit to celebrate the Jewish festival of Lag B'Omer, which was celebrated Sunday evening. One of them captioned their post: "Happy Holidays." After widespread outrage, both later deleted their posts.
(Haaretz today)

It is very good to see that those deplorable posts brought widespread Israeli outrage.

Right-wing Israeli journalists celebrate Rafah attack, likening it to Lag Ba'Omer bonfire

And the rogue state continues its reign of terror against Palestinian innocents

Agree, more and more becoming a rogue state as these actions have shocked the world. A “mishap” is how Netanyahu describes this, but the worlds governments are now turning their back on Israel, in disgust, rightfully imo.

@Hawa13 the leadership of any country mostly lies with…. Its leaders. Although I don’t entirely disagree with your post, I think BN and his band of utter lunatics have lead things to where they are now.

@Hawa13 I understand your anger, but this comment really isn't ok.

Agreed, Zionism is just as dangerous as any other extremism religion.

As I have learned here, don’t say that, because the very extreme version you may be thinking of as being Zionism, is not what perfectly reasonable Jewish people mean by it as the start of establishing a safe homeland, which in the end was actually given by the English after WW11, though
the idea began earlier, and a
some Jewish people had never left in two thousand years.

And after the holocaust and WW11, Americans and British were not welcoming to Jews as you might think, and the Arab countries where Jews had lived for two thousand years expelled them and kept all their property after the British gave the section of land to them.

There may be extreme Zionists but they are not all Israeli people. In Israel there are lots of people who want security from Hamas, but who don’t want the trajectory this war has taken. Think what it would be like if everyone thought that the U.K. was the National Front or those US stormers of the Whitehouse types.

Hamas massacred some of the most peace promoting Israelis. They wrecked their own cause.

mactire · 27/05/2024 20:55

And the rogue state continues its reign of terror against Palestinian innocents. Netanyahu’s not sorry in the slightest, he’s only sorry he didn’t manage to burn more Palestinian children.

quantumbutterfly · 27/05/2024 20:48

Justified?
I don't justify my thoughts to you. What I think, I will share with people who might make a difference, you are intractable and whatever compassion I feel is wasted on you.

anotherlevel · 27/05/2024 20:40

@quantumbutterfly do you think last nights attack was justified?

quantumbutterfly · 27/05/2024 20:32

I think that some people want it to stop and have a dream of Gazans and Israelis coexisting peacefully and some people see it as further reason to perpetuate hate.
