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.

I think @anotherlevel wouldn't have meant it that way; we're both Muslims and reminding our fellow Muslims to have faith in God's mercy and plan is often a way in which Muslims show support and empathy for each other.

I am so grateful for every person's support for the innocent people of Palestine in the face of this horror. Thank you.

Oh no I know. My comment wasn’t intended as a criticism at all, apologies that it came across that way.

Even a majoirty of Americans. AMERICANS, Thought Israel went too far...back in January

So sorry Scirocco sending love and hugs 💐

That is horrendous, I don’t know what to say. How will she carry all that pain. I wish her the strength to do this and that one
day she may see some semblance of justice for what was done to her children.

I am so sorry for the loss of your own child and all the pain you have had to endure.

This is an astonishing question.

If a gunman in England shot into a police station from a school full of children, and the police knowingly bombed the school to kill the gunman, would you similarly say "well, who's to blame" about the loss of the children?

This is the same. Precious beautiful children knowingly blown to bits.

You have utterly lost your humanity to support Israel, that you can think of such a question as a moral grey area.

There is no need to debate or try and reason with Zionists. Let them continue. We live in a changing world and their day of reckoning will surely come. I like many welcome a multi polar world.

What exactly do you mean by "day of reckoning"?

She probably means exactly what it meant for white South Africans who fought for apartheid. That the oppressive system they fight for only their benefit, at the expense of others, will end.

agreed. accountabilty is ratcheting.

In US at leeast he generational divide on Israel is massive. The "victim" hasbara still works with some but its rapidly losing ground.

People can now easily translate videos for example that Israel mistranslates.

So not a major ground invasion and a 'mistake' not a 'mishap'

White House says Israel’s latest actions in Rafah do not cross US red line

The Biden administration has said recent Israeli operations and attacks in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah do not constitute a major ground operation that crosses any US* red lines, and that it is also closely monitoring a probe into Sunday’s deadly strike on a tent camp it called “tragic”.

Speaking after Israeli tanks were seen near al-Awda mosque, a landmark in central Rafah, national security council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the US was not turning a “blind eye” to the plight of Palestinian civilians.
“The Israelis have said this is a tragic mistake,” Kirby said, referring to the airstrike and fire in an area crowded with refugee tents that Gaza health authorities said killed at least 45 people on Sunday.

‘Mistakes’ that end in death require an investigation and for those responsible to be held accountable.

IDK @PeasfullPerson 'mistake' acknowledges some degree of culpability whereas 'mishap' doesn't to my mind suggest any responsibility at all

They can speak for themselves. I'm I retested to know what they mean, especially given that they think the whole of Israeli society is rotten.

Bombs used in Israeli airstrike on Rafah camp were made in US, say NYT

And CNN have identified the factory in California where they were manufactured

I was surprised to see All Eyes On Rafah has been reposted by almost FOURTY MILLION accounts on Instagram.
Some will call it virtue signalling etc etc but to me it shows that awareness of the massacres taking place in Gaza by the Israeli government is increasing massively.

@Parkingt111 I've seen this too! Even by those who have remained silent or neutral.

@Parkingt111 there has been a definite uptick of people posting. I mainly follow artists and craftspeople and yesterday my whole Instagram stories was All eyes on Rafah. Prior to now not many had posted about it. I think you would have to completely lack humanity not to have been touched by what happened to those poor children, the photos and videos showed human suffering at a level many wouldn't have seen before. It's never too late for people to post about it imo. It's important to show your humanity.

There’s been a Hamas one doing the round too probably in response to the all eyes on Rafah

Even if it is virtue signalling, this is a key moment and everyone can see the IDF for what it is now - a barbaric and murderous regime

The IDF is an army, not a 'barbarous and murderous regime'. HAMAS is the 'barbaric and murderous regime' who allow no freedom of speech (as Israel does) nor elections.

@blackcherryconserve So what would you call killing civilians just because you think they're walking suspiciously? Or bombing their houses because you don't like the colour of their walls?

Hint: murdering scumbags doing this just for fun literally. This was told by an ex IDF member btw.

@anotherlevel or deliberately aiming to cause lifelong limb disabilities with sniper fire, or giving orders to shoot clearly unarmed children, or refusing to allow medically necessary aid past a blockade, or running people over with bulldozers, or ordering civilians to go to areas and then bombing those areas, or executing healthcare professionals, or blowing up aid convoys, or detaining people without due process, or denying medical aid to detainees, or engaging in acts which could constitute medical torture, or threatening independent human rights agencies and the families of people working for independent bodies...

The list just goes on.

You realise that an army can also be a barbaric regime and the two things are not mutually exclusive? The fact that the IDF is a state sanctioned organisation does not make it less barbaric. You would think that it would make the IDF act in accordance with International Humanitarian Law but of course, it doesn't.

Exactly
