More video and eyewitness info on Al Jazeera so far

Also reported on Common Dreams and Middle East Eye.

I haven’t found any reports of any independent investigations yet, hopefully they are underway

    I’m sure you’d call Hamas’s actions a genocide, but based on what definition or metric?

    No differences between Israel and the Nazis?

    No difference between Israel’s self-defence and Hamas’s attacks?

        Your inability to point to a meaningful distinction between those you’re supporting and literal Nazis or provide a consistent definition of genocide (because you can’t manufacture one that describes Hamas without admitting Israel is committing one) says far more than Godwin’s law ever will.

          Your inability to form any argument besides a comparison to Nazis says far more about your reasons for advocating for genocide of Israelis.

            Still waiting on that definition of genocide or a meaningful distinction from the Nazis.

            Meanwhile, I don’t need to make an argument - I’ll just let the Israeli leadership do that for me…

            Prime Minister Netanyahu 

            They (Israel/IDF) are committed to completely eliminating this evil from the world,”

            and 

            You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. And we do remember.

            and

            I don’t call them human animals because that would be insulting to animals

            “Defence” minister Galant

            We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly

            Kallner…

            Nakba to the enemy now! This day is our Pearl Harbour. We will still learn the lessons. Right now, one goal: Nakba! A Nakba that will overshadow the Nakba of 48. A Nakba in Gaza and a Nakba for anyone who dares to join!

            Atbaryan… 

            erasing all of Gaza from the face of the Earth. Gaza needs to be wiped out.

            Halevi…

            goals for this victory. One, there is no more Muslim land in the land of Israel. After we make it the land of Israel, Gaza should be left as a monument, like Sodom.”
