At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.
The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.
Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack
One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.
The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.
So, here’s a question, what would be the appropriate Palestinian response to this?
Fight back by any means necessary.
Grief?
Not whatever Hamas is doing.
Okay, Oct. 7 is what they did, but what are they currently doing that you think warrants the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian children?
What level of response to that do you think Palestinians are entitled to?
Or do you think they deserve this for existing, and oppose any resistance at all?
You are aware that Hamas has continued armed fighting, including firing rockets at civilians since October 7, right? Just because Oct. 7 was by far the worse, that doesn’t mean they laid down their arms and surrendered.
So you think they should just let the genocide continue?
I think Hamas should surrender and release the hostages. I don’t see another realistic way to end the war at this point.
Well if they surrender then they will just kill more with less resistance
Palestinians are opposing the wrong people. If Hamas operatives were unable to operate publicly this war would be a lot easier for Israel to conduct in a manner that minimizes civilian casualties.
Hamas ≠ Palestinians
Hamas may target Israeli civilians in their war against the IDF, and that is fucking evil, but Palestinian civilians are just trying to survive. The IDF kills orders of magnitude more Palestinian civilians in their war against Hamas, and that is orders of magnitude more evil.
Expecting Palestinian civilians, half of which are children, and all of which are currently experiencing a man-made famine, to lead the charge against Hamas or die in the crossfire is fucking deranged.
Hamas is the defacto government of Gaza. They have more support amongst the people than most governments in working democracy. So yes Hamas does equal Palestinians in Gaza.
More than half of the current population had also not yet been born when Hamas was elected, so you can not reasonably say it’s their responsibility when no election has been held since and when even Netanyahu personally has supported Hamas financially and helped them destabilize competing parties who wanted peace
What they are currently doing is still sending unguided rockets towards Israel, rockets that have an accuracy measured in kilometers and can thus only be used as terror weapons. Is Israel just supposed to eat those? Their defenses aren’t perfect and every single alert means that people have to interrupt whatever they are doing and rush into shelter within seconds.
Because every single death in Gaza is either that of a child or a woman. What a ridiculous claim. Here’s another reminder that the only numbers we have from Gaza are those reported by Hamas themselves. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t even trust them as far as I can throw them.
There are legitimate forms of resistance, both armed and unarmed. Neither Hamas nor any other militant Palestinian organization has ever focused on legitimate resistance. It’s always been terrorism. The difference between Israel and its enemies is that civilian casualties are an unintended side-effect to Israel, one which they are trying to minimize through all sorts of measures, whereas for Palestinian organizations, it’s the main goal. Had the October 7 attacks limited themselves to military targets like border fortifications and command centers only, that would have been legitimate armed resistance. But they did not, they only did this in order to enable the murder, rape and abduction of civilians.
Anti-semitic racist justifying a genocide while ignoring things like the March of Return and other non-violent protests ending in slaughter from Israeli snipers literally wearing t-shirts showing stick figure pregnant women in cross hairs with the caption “One shot, Two kills”
You do realize the internet and the ability to automatically translate the genocidal rheoteric coming from the Israeli government has changed things, right?
People who don’t speak Hebrew can now translate this shit in real time.
Oh right, storming a national border and flying incendiary balloons into Israel is considered non-violent when it comes to talking about Palestinians.
Your timeline is wrong with your bullshit for justifying the slaughter of peaceful unarmed people.
But I wouldn’t expect much more from someone that believes ICBMs are not ballistic missiles.
What does ICBM stand for again?
Sorry, I guess your lack of reading comprehension goes along with your lack of knowledge of history. My timeline is quite accurate as to the events that took place during the violent border protests known as “march of return”. They even burned a bunch of tires to conceal their activities.
What’s linear time?
Bad Hasbara.
