It’s already known that the ministry which is run by Hamas is manipulating the numbers, accelerating it. So I don’t understand why we keep using a terrorist organization as a source of

What should we do, act like nobody dies under rain of hell because Israel is not allowing press to enter Palestine?

We will know the exact numbers after the war when independent bodies can research

And all reports suggest that the US “backs Israel fully” in its actions, partially demonstrated by US strikes on Houthi territory in Yemen.

I have no qualms with the eradication of terroristic Iranian proxies, and while I understand that they rely on civilians to shield their military activities, Israel’s strikes in particular seem so incredibly clumsy. It would be laughably ironic (if it wasn’t so horrifying) how Israel in its desire to eradicate threats creates a bountiful supply of new ones. Hamas leaders, safe and comfortable in Qatar, now have a fresh supply of children with minds shattered by extreme violence and trauma that they can throw at 19 year old Israeli foot soldiers and tanks.

While Israel commits daily war crimes, it's incredible that anyone still believes the "human shields" claim is anything other than a baseless pretext for mass murder. Just because the US parrots it at every press conference should be enough for people to realize it's a sham.

I also don't understand how the human shield argument has any merit when Israel clearly does not give a shit and is completely okay with flattening buildings full of hundreds of civilians to kill one low level Hamas soldier.

adasiukevich@reddit (OP)

The irony being that there is far more evidence of the IDF using human shields.

You posted the same incident multiple times. Still a shitty thing to do, but posting multiple sources of the same thing is misleading af

BlackJesus1001@reddit

It's a method of shutting down the sockpuppets that tend to claim any given source is a Hamas supporter.

Stubbs94@reddit

Amazing how you somehow absolve Israel of the blame here...

[-]

Eexoduis@reddit

What is it with Ireland-tagged accounts on this sub and unbelievable idiocy?

[-]

Stubbs94@reddit

Is Israel responsible for the mass death they cause?

[-]

Eexoduis@reddit

Yes, Israel is directly responsible for the deaths of Palestinian civilians to IDF airstrikes. Hamas’s war crimes do not permit Israel to conduct the same.

I do not appreciate your moral examination (in lieu of reading comprehension). When you fall from your high horse, be careful not to break your neck on the pile of contradictions you stepped on to mount.

[-]

Stubbs94@reddit

But you support the elimination of Hamas? If you are fine with Israel doing what it needs to eliminate Hamas... Isn't that just a blanket approval for mass murder? Israel is an occupying force.

“Israel is an occupying force” source: the vibes

[-]

BlackJesus1001@reddit

Source being most developed nations in the world, the UN, the ICC, warfare scholars and historians, NGOs and anyone looking at it objectively.

Israel is currently an occupying force in Gaza, West bank, Golan Heights and Syria. Just going by official and information recognition from most of the world.

There's probably an argument to be made for more, those are just the official recognised occupations.

[-]

AppeltjeEitje12@reddit

Yeah the ones that are native to the land are the occupiers and the Arabs from the peninsula are not.

So according to your reasoning Israel should give the West Bank to Jordan and Gaza back to Egypt and Golan heights to Syria.

[-]

cookingandmusic@reddit

To call each of those areas occupying is just wild. And I assume you acknowledge the occupation of aboriginal land in australia?

[-]

Being-of-Dasein@reddit

No answer lol. Armed resistance to occupation is a right under international law, whereas near enough everything Israel does to Palestine is illegal under it.

Sounds like the BBC

mostard_seed@reddit

the phrasing is crazy too. "19 year old foot soldiers and tanks".

[-]

Eexoduis@reddit

Explain to me what is crazy about that phrasing

Stubbs94@reddit

"it's so awful these literal babies are being burnt alive... But what about the US funded Israeli tanks shelling those babies parents?"

[-]

ztuztuzrtuzr@reddit

The Israeli government doesn't want to eradicate the terrorists since without them they can't stay in power and can't justify the genocide

Americas playbook

Conscious-Abalone-86@reddit

Sees act of terrorism, No qualms for the eradication of civilians, Somehow manages to make it about Iran , Hamas and Qatar, Except for the threat the surviving children scarred by violence and trauma poses towards Israel.

[-]

Conscious-Abalone-86@reddit

YOUR qualms or lack of it in the eradication of civilians does not shield Israel from accountability for crimes against humanity.

Palestinians killed in new Israeli Gaza strikes, says Hamas-run agency

At least 85 Palestinians have been killed in overnight Israeli air strikes in Gaza, the Hamas-run health ministry has said.

Hours later Israel's military said it intercepted three rockets which Hamas's armed wing said it fired at Tel Aviv in response.

It comes after Israel resumed its bombing campaign and ground operations in the territory this week, with air strikes having already killed more than 430 people over the past two days, according to the health ministry.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday it had started a ground operation in northern Gaza. There had been a lull in large-scale military action since January when a ceasefire began.

Gaza's health ministry also reported that 133 people were injured in the latest attacks on Thursday.

Israel resumed attacks on Tuesday as talks to extend the deal failed to progress, warning they would intensify until Hamas released the remaining hostages.

Israel says Hamas is still holding 59 hostages, 24 of whom are believed to be alive.

IDF spokesperson Col Avichay Adraee said Hamas had fired three rockets from southern Gaza. One was intercepted, while the other two fell in an "open area", he added in a post on X.

The Israeli military said earlier on Thursday it had begun "targeted ground activities" to create what it called a "partial buffer between the north and south" in Gaza. It called the action a "limited ground operation".

Col Adraee said forces were deployed up to the centre of a strip known as the Netzarim Corridor which divides northern and southern Gaza.

Meanwhile, five staff members of the UN's Palestinian refugee agency Unrwa were among those killed over the "past few days", the agency's chief Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X.

"They were teachers, doctors and nurses," he added, warning that "the worst is yet to come" amid the ongoing ground invasion.

On Wednesday theUN said that one of its workers had been killed and five others injured after its compound in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza was damaged. It said the circumstances of the incident were unclear.

Gaza's health ministry blamed an Israeli strike, while Israel's military said it did not attack the compound.

UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Thursday confirmed that a British national had been wounded in the compound attack. It comes after a charity said one of its workers, a 51-year-old British bomb disposal expert, had been injured.

"Our priority is supporting them and their family at this time," he told MPs.

Elsewhere, Yemen's Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at Israel on Thursday, aiming for Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, the Iran-backed group's military spokesperson said.

No injuries were reported and the IDF said the missile was stopped before entering Israel.

On Tuesday, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it had "resumed combat in full force" and any ceasefire negotiations would now take place "under fire".

A group representing hostages' families has accused the Israeli government of choosing "to give up the hostages" by launching new strikes.

Israel and Hamas have failed to agree how to take the ceasefire beyond the first phase, which expired on 1 March.

Hamas did not agree to a renegotiation of the ceasefire on Israel's terms, although it offered to release a living American hostage and four hostages' bodies as mediators tried to keep the ceasefire going.

Israel blocked all food, fuel and medical supplies entering Gaza at the beginning of March in order to put pressure on Hamas. It accused Hamas of commandeering the provisions as part of its strategy against Israel, though without providing evidence.

The war was triggered by Hamas's attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in which about 1,200 people, mainly civilians, were killed and 251 other taken hostage. Twenty-five Israeli and five Thai hostages were released alive during the first phase of the ceasefire.

Israel responded to the October attack with a massive military offensive, which had killed more than 48,500 Palestinians, mainly civilians, before Israel resumed its campaign, the Hamas-run health ministry says. Israel's offensive has also caused huge amounts of destruction to homes and infrastructure.
