Israel has a right to defend itself

Is this what defending means?

Yes civlians in Gaza are suffering brutality from all sides.

@PurpleChrayne you might find my link interesting, it's the second report I've seen from that account of Hamas firing on fleeing civilians.

Genocide is not a form of defence.

It's also interesting how they don't give a shit about any other armed conflict or genocide currently taking place. Just this one. It's so bizarre.

Who doesn't give a shit about any other armed conflict or genocide? How do you know what people do, say or care about outside of this topic?

I haven't seen a single word said ever on this site regarding an ethnic cleansing/ genocide that's been going on for 30 years. Killing children, forced sterilisation, rape etc etc

Bet none of you can tell me where.

I don't understand this obsession with Gaza on here.

The majority of you have no skin in the game. Fighting each other about who's right and wrong and whos lying about when you'll never know. It just smacks of humble bragging as if it's commendable just to make bold statements about what you think. You're not making any difference and most you just look quite silly with the fights you stir up.

There's nothing I can do about it and I've bigger things to worry me in my own life including my terminally ill mother.

Botswana? Since the 90s the government targeting the bushmen?

Sudan although maybe not as that's since the early 2000's I think so 20 years not 30.

china - the Uyghur genocide?

Sadly, people all over the world are suffering. The human race really is full of evil bastards.

That's so sad.

I can think of several areas that could fit that description, so no, I'm not going to play that game with you. None of us need to justify our presence here nor provide credentials.
If you don't think gaza/Israel is worthy of discussion, why are you here?

That's not verified
There are multiple other pages tweets etc showing the same footage with the caption that Israeli soldiers are firing
As you must be aware now some of the main hospitals in the North have now been surrounded by the IDF

@SomeCatFromJapan the same with the video of the other incident
There are many pages showing that they were fired upon by Israeli tanks

The situation around the hospitals right now is terrible, its the worst it has been since the start of the war
I can't begin to even comprehend what people are going through
Hell on earth seems about right
This is from the BBC

Most major news outlets are reporting from the palestinian red crescent that Israeli snipers have opened fire at Al Quds hospital injuring many and causing one death
The IDF haven't commented on it

Hamas are intimidating people by firing in the air.

Israel is tearing them to pieces with bombs.

Both heinous acts, but it's clear which is worse.

Before anyone points out Hamas is trying to stop people fleeing - Israel is also attacking the people fleeing.

@NotTerfNorCis yes but it also hasn't been confirmed or verified anywhere that Hamas tried to stop people leaving the hospital
What we do know though is the IDF have now positioned themselves around the hospitals and there are still strikes on going

Nothing can justify what Israel is doing. Nothing can justify the genocide against innocent civilians. Self defence does not mean genocide or terrorising civilians to steal their homes and land

@Ballsbaill i agree with you. Muslim on Muslim violence is absolutely fine it would seem, the Chinese genocide of Muslims is fine but Israel absolutely cannot defend itself. I’ve no skin in this game whatsoever, not a Jew and abhor the killing on both sides of this conflict. When I see marches about Yemen, and the fate of the afghans being forcibly removed to Pakistan and against the treatment of Uyghurs then I might think this is more than thinly disguised antisemitism.

No so called democratic society has killed this number of innocent people including babies in incubators. Food and water has been stopped. Hospitals and schools have been destroyed. Southern Gaza was supposed to be safe but that’s been bombed too. Hospitals power has finally run out but Israeli forces are not allowing them to move bodies out. This is beyond comprehension. Meanwhile in West Bank innocent people are being tortured and terrorised to steal more land and homes

Since when has our government supported recent genocide though? Can’t think of any other genocide that our government has said yes go ahead we want you to win. I don’t think it is possible for UK to police the world but to surely shouldn’t support one.? It’s crazy that supporting the genocide of actual Semitic people isn’t considered antisemetic.

Really? Ok some facts for you - since the Yemen war began 4 million people have been displaced, 17.4 million are suffering from food shortages and malnutrition, 11000 children have been killed. The Chinese government has imprisoned more than one million people since 2017 and subjected those not detained to intense surveillance, religious restrictions, forced labor, and forced sterilizations. But all your ire is reserved for Isreal?

Yes and Obama, Biden and the UK are allies with Saudi Arabia who are pursuing the war in Yemen. Nobody is very interested in that, odd?

@headstone I agree it is shocking to see full support from the UK and US for this. It's not as if Netanyahu and his government have hidden their intentions.

I don’t think there is much UK can do to improve things in China, it is a much more powerful country than ours. I don’t think the UK government has ever said it agrees with those human rights abuses though. As for Yemen I think it’s disgusting that the UK sells weapons to Saudi Arabia. I do not suppprt the arms trade at all.
