The South near Rafah is more intact, but these are from Gaza city and the North.

It's gone. There's barely a building that hasn't got significant damage/a burnt out shell.

I don't know how anyone can look at this and say that is ok. Or look at it and not blame the people who dropped those bombs. I wonder how many of those buildings were occupied at the time. I wonder how many dead or dying people are under the destroyed buildings we see right now.

Thanks to Google maps this level of destruction can't be hidden any more. I just hope that one day the monsters that ordered this genocide face justice for it. Nothing can ever justify this. It's a never crime for a reason.

Ps: I didn't look for the worst bits, it's pretty much all the same up north. You can look for yourselves.

Awful.

All those buildings would still be standing, all those people still alive if Hamas hadn't done what it did on 7 October.

What a total fucking waste.

This.
Blame Hamas.
Hostages still being tortured by them.

Indeed.

I saw a headline today saying Hamas are hinting at refusing the peace deal. If so, they'll be the only victims in history of a 'genocide' that chose not to end it

Genocide is being committed against the Palestinian people, not Hamas, the leadership of Hamas are sitting safe away from danger. Can you not tell the difference between regular Palestinians and a terrorist organisation?

Iamfree · 01/10/2025 17:26

@PollyPaintsFlowersif they refuse I hope there’s such a level of bombing that no Hamas is left. Gosh only in the west people can protest in the name of terrorists

Iamfree · 01/10/2025 17:25

@PollyPaintsFlowersexactly - anti semitism has always existed and now finally Israel has decided to do something about it. But unfortunately many mumsnetters can’t see the truth what a shame

@KoalaKoKoFinish the job of finishing Hamas. If there’s a terrorist attack in London or America you’ll think differently. The children number is from Hamas too I don’t believe a word they say. And sell has proposed a ceasefire, up to Hamas whether to accept it or not. There are people on both sides or do you only want people who blindly accept the cries of “genocide”?

I'm amazed some people are still pretending this all started on October 7th! Some people don't seem to have much awareness of what was going on for decades before then.

Centuries even. It wasn't the first massacre Arabs have carried out against Jews, they've been at it for hundreds of years

Do you not have a tv or a computer where you live - there are dead children, starving children, children missing limbs on our screens every day. This is not fabricated - they are currently dying - at least one an hour. Does this not move you at all? Do you have kids? Could you imagine watching them starve or bleed out. How many Hamas are you killing when you carpet bomb refugee camps, hospitals, schools, doctor’s homes, press tents, ambulances. There were circa 30,000 members of Hamas on October 7th and there are over 65,000 Palestinians confirmed dead (likely much higher figure). When will it be enough for you?

Did you know that as part of Trumps deal the men who orchestrated October 7th will get off scot free and the PA can’t pursue charges against Netanyahu so all the people at the top pulling the strings, ordering the murders, orchestrating the genocide, walk away scot free

And actually terrorist attacks have happened against my country, we were also at war on and off for hundreds of years with the UK, had a genocide that saw the population halved and I am now with an English man 20 years and live in the UK. You cannot blame people for what a group of evil men who share the same ethnicity do, every country in the world has had evil men who commit atrocities, it is universal. Also important note: collective punishment is a war crime.

Finish the job??? They have killed 20,000+ children, destroyed 92% of homes and you want them to finish the job? I think we have a sociopath in our midst!

Perhaps they shouldn’t have started yet another war they couldn’t win.

Give back the hostages, stand down, and this war can be over.

No other “genocide” in history could have been so easily solved.

Will the genocide be over? Will the illegal settlers go back to where they should be living? Will they stop terrorising the Palestinians whose land they are illegally occupying?

Exactly. It's not like all was peaceful and happy on Oct 6th.

Israel were merrily bombing Gaza for days at the end of September 2023 but for some it doesn't count when Israel attack Gaza, that's not breaking an imaginary ceasefire that's just maintenance works, making sure those living under your occupation know who is boss. You can't illegally occupy and subjugate millions of people without flexing your fists every now and then.

Ah. So it’s a case of “look what you made me do”. The vast majority of the casualties in this conflict have been women and children.

I’m aware they’ve never paid up and never will. The ICJ means nothing to Israel and their 2024 ruling will be ignored. They are above the laws the rest of us abide by

I knew you did as your posting shows that you are actually well read on the situation from multiple credible and historically accurate sources. ❤️

I imagine Dresden didn't look too great after ww2...

Don't forget the other big cities Hamburg, Manheim ... Gaza.

Carpet bombing and destruction on that scale should never happen.

BelleHathor · 30/09/2025 08:33

Come on Dr don't be naive, apart from the 7% of land legally purchased before Ben Gurion announced the state of Israel in 1948, Israel has never paid for a Palestinian land, displacement or destruction.

Truthfully it would be American taxpayers paying, whilst their roads have potholes and folk can't afford healthcare lol.

DrPrunesqualer · 29/09/2025 20:02

I’m assuming Israel will be financing the rebuilding and have to pay reparations to those who’ve lost everything if this peace deal goes through

Although Trump is in agreement with Netanyahu and allowing him to continue bombing until Israel think they’ve destroyed all the tunnels and infrastructure that Israel think supports Hamas.

So no idea really what that means in terms of actual peace in Gaza

You keep trotting that line out, I'll keep trotting mine. 60k + people, Palestinian and Israeli, would still be alive if the atrocity of 7 October hadn't happened. Its the truth.
