Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.
“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.
Muslims consider adulthood to begin with puberty, 15 years of age. It’s not uncommon for Muslim military soldiers to be under 18. In the west, we consider anyone under 18 children.
It’s still terrible and I’m not saying they’re not children. I’m just pointing out that many of these children are legal adults and adult soldiers in their own culture.
Israel humiliated Biden during Obama’s term when Biden went to visit Israel and suggested in soft words that they don’t expand illegal settlements. Israel basically said screw you in the press conference, and Biden took it like an obedient slave. Really showed the world who holds his leash.
I’m German, it’s so depressing that our nation’s stance on this will always be: We stand 100% behind Israel.
Discussions exist and it’s being debated a lot on TV. People are pretty much appalled, with what Israel is doing.
Anyone, that feels the least amount of compassion towards other people, is not ok with this. Disregarding religion, nationality, race or whatever community they belong to. There’s no way to justify this, no way at all.
Edit: 5000 dead and they haven’t even sent in any troops yet.
You won’t hold the media you are invested in accountable for the manufacturing of consent for this, because they’re the same ones that feed you your ‘orange man bad’ content. You’ll give them a pass.
So, so tired of that rhetoric. Trump is a POS, I don’t need ‘orange man’ content to know that. He’s definitely on the top ten worst presidents list. You automatically qualify for that list when you foment an insurrection.
the rhetoric that makes you accountable for supporting media companies that manufacture consent for illegal wars. lie, and spread propaganda. yea i bet you are so tired of it.
The previous mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, ended their status as sister city with Tel Aviv over the systematic crimes from the state of Israel against Palestinians. The immediate reaction of the Israeli embassy was denouncing her as antisemitic, both in the media and in courts, which recently found her innocent.
The position that denouncing Israeli crimes is antisemitic has been the official position of Israel for decades, and that’s a very dangerous game for the well-being of Jews in a world where actual nazis are slowly gaining power, because once you’re run the term down through the ground, calling actual hate crimes against Jews “antisemitic” will no longer have any meaning.

At this point, that’s just a template answer, not different than the template answers China delivers everytime someone says something about the Uygur genocide, the Hong Kong occupation, or claims over Taiwan.
If people want to tie their religious identity to a nation state and call me antisemetic when I criticize that nation state – the same as I criticize any other nation state – they are in fact trivializing the experience of those who experience actual antisemitism.
I’m sure they don’t see it that way, but it’s hard for me to see such an attitude as anything other than disrespectful of one’s own history.
Think of what Palestinians are going through if you feel this way. I had to stop looking at the corpses and small children being torn apart. But I don’t regret it, it only made my resolve stronger to counter the lies.
I’d be careful with using these numbers as they are difficult to verify and often come from Hamas themselves. That is not to dismiss lives lost but raise awareness about committing to accurate information.
Were you this skeptical about Ukraine, Xinjiang and elsewhere too, or is it just going to be a thin wrapper of Palestinian sympathy over your enforced support for Zionist Anglo empire agenda?
Here’s the problem. In making your point you can’t help yourself but make assumptions about my beliefs and stances. You should always be careful about your information sources no matter the topic at hand.
