“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.
“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”
Yes, the situation in Gaza is awful and a tragedy in every way imaginable. It is a war zone.
Your right, Israel should cease it’s indiscriminate violence now and call for an immediate stabilization of the civilian population on the ground. That was a big leap for you man. Proud of you Dobby!
Hamas should surrender so everything can end.
Hamas doesn’t care if those civilians and journalists die anymore than probably Israel does. It goes to show how stupid this is because everyday Israel becomes more the murderer, more the oppressor, more the aggressor, more the monster. I’m sure Hamas leadership love it because they literally have to do nothing as proud Israel marches into the history books as the land hungry maniac butcher of the middle east. This is how a 9/11 works and you buffoons are out here trying to roast Hamas marshmallows on the smoldering corpses of women and children.
The trick is, if you destroy enough Palestinians and drive them from thier home ling enough, those people’s kids will have no connection to Palestine/Gaza and little desire to go back. After time the situation would solve itself.
If you continue to let hamas rule Gaza and commit acts of terror then Israel will retaliate insuring the continuation of the current situation until.the end of time.
Racist says the “trick” is genocide. What a subpar troll
Or you know, the people.in Gaza can leave and not die. Not only.do they not have to die from Israel bombs but don’t have to live under hamas rule
Sounds like a win win
What a sickening take.
It’s THEIR LAND. Why are the only options “leave forever, or die?”.
There wouldn’t be a Hamas if Israel didn’t stop murdering and stealing land they have no right to.
Between 2008 and 2020, 5,590 Palestinians have been murdered
Until Israel has all of the land, this won’t stop. They continue to murder and maim for decades, and when a Hamas retaliation happens, well then “this is war”.
Let’s be clear about something. This was ‘Christmas come early’ for Israel, as Hamas laid out an attack that gave them a cart blanche to go all out on Palestine, ignoring all wartime rules, as they commit actual genocide, confirmed by Israeli Holocaust scholars: https://www.wrmea.org/israel-palestine/holocaust-scholars-say-israel-is-committing-genocide.html
The solution should always start with de-escalation. Everyone knows this. Cops are trained to do this. Why is nobody policing Israel? They can’t even commit to saying what is going on in Israel is definitively Genocide.
It’s funny since you posted all this shit just to agree with me that until Palestine in Gaza ceases to exist thus fighting will continue.
Yet neither Egypt nor Israel want to open their borders to Palestinian civilians. Where should they go?
They should continue to try and leave through any port of entry.
Maybe we should be wondering why no other country wants them.
Jordan or Lebanon.
Sounds like it was a bad idea for the Gazans to put them in charge of their government. Maybe they should do something about that
Looks nervously at our elected officials
If we start a war we pay the cost
I’m glad that Israel refuses any further US military aid or funding then
Israel hasn’t started a war rn
They took power illegally years before the literal majority of Gaza citizens were even born.
Edit: My apologies, the ones that are almost legal adults would have been infants or toddlers at the time Hamas seized power. They really should have done something about that while they were learning how to walk and speak. /s
Okay, and? I’m sorry, my dude, but Hamas won the election before they illegally seized power, and it’s not like the people of Gaza have tried to do anything about that. Who is supposed to do it for them?
Yeah, it sucks that sometimes the citizens of a nation pay the price for the actions of their leaders. But who else can change their leaders for them?
You’re talking about a population with extremely limited resources that is literally 50% (or more) children that has been under two fascist boots for the last decade and a half. There does come a point where a level of desperation combined with a possibility of a better future will instigate a revolution, but right now? They don’t see a possibility of a better future. With Israel’s Likud on the other side of the wall and no resources to rebuild after a coup, what’s the point in gambling everything on maybe being able to overthrow the more local oppression?
Also, education in Gaza is very inconsistent and most political revolutions are started by people with education and nothing to lose.
Okay? What, am I supposed to say that the people supporting genocidal lunatics aren’t doing that because they have a shitload of kids? How does that change jack or shit?
Or do you think Israel shouldn’t defend themselves because the people relentlessly attacking them have a bunch of children? What is the path towards Hamas no longer launching rockets and attacks at Israel?
Your right, perhaps we go punish the skeletons in North Korea next?
If North Korea starts a war, its people will bear the brunt. But that’s a bad comparison - Hamas was elected.
Maybe tell that to the children (who are 2 out of every 5 murdered) who didn’t even exist for this definitive election of yours. It’s a fine comparison. It’s been so long since either event that your blaming a currently suffering group for the mistakes of it’s predecessors, and it rings just as gross and hollow. Why don’t you tell me how women should dress so they don’t get raped?
Idk man shit sucks sometimes, but the people of Palestine have agency, and the Gazans chose their government.
Lots of people should do lots of things to make the world better. I feel they’re not going to, though.
Yeah. Hamas is the only group which can really end this, though. Israel ending it involves a lot of dead people. They’re not going to stop until Hamas cannot make war any longer, and I can’t blame them.
The world and history will blame them. Nobody, not a single soul, is concerned with where you cast the blame.
Yes, yes, of course, it’s all the fault of the defenders
How far into someone else’s lands are these “defenders”?
A few miles. Gotta reach the rocket sites somehow. Or do you think they should just sit there and do nothing while genocidal lunatics lob rockets at civilians
Yeah. Hamas is the only group which can really end this, though. Israel ending it involves a lot of dead people. They’re not going to stop until Hamas cannot make war any longer, and I can’t blame them.
