  • Hamas-run government says Israeli strikes on Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza killed at least 195 Palestinians, with concerns raised by the UN that these could constitute war crimes.
  • Evacuation of foreign nationals from Gaza is underway, with 320 already crossed into Egypt; about 7,500 are expected to leave within two weeks.
  • The strikes targeted Hamas military leaders and infrastructure, with Israel’s campaign responding to Hamas' cross-border attacks from Oct. 7.
  • U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is set to visit Israel and Jordan to discuss the conflict and the need to minimize civilian casualties.

There's also the option of a ceasefire and diplomacy.

[-] qnick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, that worked well before.

[-] moonlit2107@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

It never worked because Israelis would never admit their settlements are illegal and then break ceasefires. There is no pressure because the US waves away international courts. They have done this, blatantly, for decades.

So it's about settlements all of a sudden? People who yell* "kill all Jews" just want to settle.

*not just yell, they actually tried

[-] blitzkrieg@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's about Israel occupying Palestine. Breaking news for you, I imagine.

[-] moonlit2107@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

A lot of the Gaza's anger is undoubtedly misdirected at the Jewish people. Let me ask you a question, if someone evicts you and destroys your home. Then kills your extended family. Then I trap you in an open air prison so you can live in squalor. Will you be a peaceful and rational person?

[-] qnick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes I will. And you too, I imagine, as most of the people.

Fortunately, there are some very good historical examples of how and why you're very wrong. Maybe you're not the best example of what one would do under such circumstances.

— You're very wrong. Here are some examples of yellow, and even red grass.
