This isn't just rocket attacks. There are technicals driving throughout streets shooting civilians, hostages and houses burnt down. Reports of hundreds of people ariving at hospitals. Over 500 reported injured and 20 dead so far.
Not military targets. Not government facilities. People's homes and communities.
So innocent people like the Palestinians regularly murdered by Isreal soldiers?
Those are horrific as well, but it's simply not true that the IDF roams around Palestinian villages murdering every Palestinian they find, and you know that.
For starters, if they did, there wouldn't be very many left.
This childish need to see one side as unequivocally good and the other bad must be discarded or people find themselves cheering for citizens to murdered while waiting for the bus, and if you've gotten to that point, something has gone deeply wrong.
Are you really doing a whataboutism while there are literal terrorists shooting up households right now?
Holy shit dude you have no fucking soul.
Israel doesn't target civilians, nor fires indiscriminately. These are like the crazies that shoot up schools and concerts in the USA.
This is demonstrably, objectively false. There are literally dozens of UN reports with clear evidence that Israel routinely targets civilians. They literally just bombed a five story apartment building an hour ago. Look up "mowing the grass"
Yes, the IDF doesn't target civilians just like how American police don't target African americans.
Stop gaslighting please.
Hamas mutilated a woman's corpse then paraded it through the streets this morning. I've never even heard of Israel doing something remotely close.
Bust sure keep doing antisemitic whataboutism.

I think we can all agree that this is a bad thing and a lot of people will die, regardless of ideology or affiliation. Let’s all start there.
It's clear from the footage coming out of southern Israel right now that the goal of Hamas is to simply kill as many Jews as possible. Either you stand with Israel right now or you stand with genocide. You can no longer claim ignorance of the crimes of Hamas if you associate yourself with the "#freepalestine" cause.
Critiscm of Israel and their treatment of Palestinians is not antisemitic. It is not supporting genocide. Take a look in the mirror.
This take makes perfect sense if you have been paying attention for only the last twelve seconds of history
“started a war”
That’s rich.
The (world) news lemmy communities being true to their reddit influences by only posting about Israel and Palestine when it can be skewed as an unprovoked attack against the poor oppressed ~~racist settlers~~ civilian pariahs
They will win and then there will finally be peace in the region, right?
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate Israel.

I keep hearing from the River to the Sea on this site.... looks like Hamas is going to get their wish.
Netanyahu is going to use this attack as excuse to level the strip, wonder if Haifa will expand or if they'll bother to rebuild Hebron?
The Saudis are abandoning the Palestinians and joining the Abraham accord. Hamas has condemned the people of that region to death. This is terrible.
