New evacuation orders have been issued. Israeli government reported as saying they will fight until their war aims are achieved.

At least 330 killed after Israel launches extensive strikes on Gaza, Hamas-run ministry says - live updates

Israel launched dozens of air strikes on cities across Gaza, in the largest wave since a ceasefire with Hamas began in January.

Though this would have happened with any excuse because the previous excuses were "It's the PLO, PLFP, etc" every single Palestinian group has been used as an excuse for the systemic destruction of the Palestinians.

Yes, the maximalist approach of all these groups is the main reason why the Palestinians haven't managed to achieve many of their goals over the last 75 years or so. Virtue-signalling Western sympathisers chanting "from the river to sea" (or the earlier equivalent) has encouraged this attitude, of course.

Hamas could have said "Oops - October 7th was a terrible miscalculation leading to deaths of thousands of innocent people". But instead they said that it was just the beginning and it will be repeated a thousand times over. Unsurprising that the Israelis feel that that the status quo is not sustainable....

Fuck Israel and that tyrant Netanyahu they could have used the ceasefire process that meant the hostages were being released and not relied on the bullies in the White House to support them to carpet bomb civilians

But phase 2 involves withdrawal from Gaza and Israel will do anything to sabotage the ceasefire so that doesn't happen including sacrificing their own hostages.

But not Fuck Hamas? Who could have released all Israeli hostages ages ago or not murdered civilians back in October?

Two wrongs don’t make a right but surely it’s Fuck Hamas too?

I noticed that too.

Funny, I anticipated that someone would mention Hamas and I was not disappointed.

The "but Hamas" excuse has long lost its effect, a death ratio of 1 Israeli to 60 Palestinians is disproportionate .

so Fuck Hamas too, for giving the Israeli government the excuse to carry out a systematic, calculated, destruction of the Palestinian people.

Though this would have happened with any excuse because the previous excuses were "It's the PLO, PLFP, etc" every single Palestinian group has been used as an excuse for the sytemic destruction of the Palestinians.

You know just as well as I do this has never ever been about the hostages ! This has been an excuse to carpet bomb Gaza in a land grab for land / oil and gas . American Zionists were selling real estate on the Gaza Strip as soon as October 8. Netanyahu never wanted the hostages back , he wants a genocide to ethnically cleanse the land !

Think about what you have said here. I have no affiliation with either side at all and I don’t think I have ever posted on anything about this war. But this post stood out to me starkly. It’s chilling and devoid of normal, human decency.

Thank you, I think it helps when people who don't normally comment point out such depraved posts so the rest of us know its not just some of us taken aback by such disturbing words.

Thank you. This war has cost so much, for innocent Israelis and innocent Palestinians alike. The ceasefire was a chance for the safe return of hostages and progress towards peace - there were plans for aid and rebuilding, and the removal of Hamas from power, and for the ceasefire to be broken like this is disastrous for the chances of peace, as well as very traumatic for those of us with loved ones in the region.

Just utterly nasty. They don’t care about a whole race and want to kill as many as possible. Hateful and beyond revenge.

Hamas aren't currently bombing Gaza, so they can go fuck themselves over in the many threads about how they can go fuck themselves.

Fuck Trump, Fuck Netanyahu, Fuck the IDF. Pure evil, bombing people who were fasting.

It's clear who the true monsters are and history will not be kind.

Rest in peace to the victims, may they finally have some peace, compassionate people will pursue justice.

Brilliant news. Once Hamas are gone the war will be over. I will never forgive or forget October 7th and we need to end terrorists. If Oct 7th didn't happen there wouldn't have been a war. Only sick people support terrorists .

Only sick people celebrate the murder of children. You need help.

Many of the people dying are civilians. Some of us know them. Maybe show the same respect for others as you'd like to have shown if these were your loved ones being blown up.

@EasterIsslandthat doesn’t surprise me that trump knew about this. Sick people. Those poor people killed when there was meant to be a ceasefire.

EasterIssland · 18/03/2025 08:13

Israel has confirmed that they had consulted with trump before the attack

Israeli War Minister Yisrael Katz: "We are attacking Gaza fiercer than before. We arranged our attacks with the American administration"

Toadstool101 · 18/03/2025 07:37

They are sick. Hundreds of children within that number. There are no words for the evil. It was clear they weren’t keeping to the ceasefire terms. They will not rest until all Palestinians are dead, killed by Western bombs.

Yes this is about killing Palestinians. They are sick and twisted and won't hold back in killing innocent children if they think it will put pressure on Hamas.

EasterIssland · 18/03/2025 07:48

Unfortunately the world won’t condemn these actions enough and won’t hold Israel accountable to killing all these innocent people.

i guess the ceasefire is over ?

the families of the hostages aren’t happy. There was an agreement to get their relatives back and now some of them won’t have their relatives alive but some of them might be killed.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum released a statement on Tuesday condemning the renewed attacks in Gaza.
The claim that the war is being renewed for the release of the hostages is a complete deception – military pressure endangers the hostages and soldiers,” the statement read. “We must return to the cease-fire.”
