As far as I understand Israel doesn’t claim that it didn’t bomb a school area, it claims that it was filled with terrorists and had to go.

If I’m understanding this right, Israel is saying “this is the price that Gaza pays because we have to kill the terrorists” while also trying to minimize to the press how many civilians were actually caught up in these bombings.

Basically killing Hamas is above any Palestinian human rights for Israel, though I suspect that if the world wasn’t watching, the genocidal government there would actually just straight up give orders to kill them all.

No need to suspect. They’ve said many times that global opinion is the only thing curbing their genocide.

Nice, just straight up admit to it.

At least they are honest, right?

They have it in writing (leaked months ago) that some ridiculous number like over 1000 Palestinian civilian casualties were acceptable if they got to kill a terrorist.

Also, anyone in colors or in proximity to Hamas members or known gathering areas in the last 2 years, is automatically labeled a terrorist by Israel

Basically they pretend to have a formula to regulate civilian casualties but they have twisted its variables so far that any scenario can be solved by bombing no matter the collateral damage

technically they didn’t twist the variables, they just lied, or vastly misrepresented them.

It’s okay though, that ceasefire is totally coming any day now.

Please ignore their constant immediate rejection of their own plan and assassination of a negotiator, Biden administration totally gonna make it happen any day now

Just yesterday I was playing the Batman telltale series. In it, Mayor Dent, during his descent into becoming Two Face, blows up a city block in Gotham in an attempt to thwart a terrorist organization. Two Face was put in a mental asylum for the action. I vote we do the same thing to Netanyahu.

Haven’t the schools been closed for several months now? There shouldn’t be any civilians in there, let alone kids.

Civilians are sheltering in the schools, since, you know, they’re running out of buildings.

What about terrorists in the refugee camps? They need to bomb them in case the next trump is amongst them

I don’t think the guy you are replying to should be called Jesus Christ, it doesn’t matter much to me as an atheist, but I think Jesus was against all this nonsense.

Aha, but the precision strike was on the small first floor window on the north side of the block. The school was evidently on the east side of the block, many many centimetres away. Please ignore surrounding blocks completely destroyed by bombs.

The kids have no right to be outside if it is not recess.

Only terrorists are outside during non recess hours.

There was a pipe going from the window all the way down to the Hama’s Tunnel under it with the terrorists.

The fighter jet of the brave Zionist tresistance just thread its way at low level between the rocket launchers of the evil Palestinians and hit that small hole causing the destruction of the entire evil outpost.

is that even an official image? Seems weird to me that the location marker and the school tag are two completely different styles, but maybe that’s just the military over there lmao.

The school tag is integrated to the mapping, it’s then screenshotted and the red location marker is overlayed.

This is on whoever took the screenshot and didn’t hide the school marker first. Pretty certain it’ll be a straight forward menu item lmao.

that makes sense, checks out. Although it does look like theres a white outline on the building of the school tag, so this is either a really specific map. Or someone actually made that by hand for this image. Though im guessing the strike tag was added over top of that still.

isn’t trump literally trying to call off a ceasefire though?

It sure seems to me like the collective mission of the israel/palestine people here in the US is just bitching about shit.

Aside from decrying war, which like, that’s a thing you can do. You have the right to do that, i don’t see them doing anything else.

I haven’t even heard of a ceasefire. Trump is just trying to get Israeli support since even American fascists are on to his nonsense.

They forgot to thank Biden, Harris and The USA for the thousands of bombs they have provided for Israel’s genocide. and the coming 20 Billion more of military support.

Listen, this might have looked like a school, but I assure you everyone inside that they killed was an October 7th terrorist.

They had thousands of miles of tunnels under there, with a million rockets ready to be fired. All supplied by Iran.

These school bombings were in self defense. And if you think otherwise, you’re Antisemitic

The tens of thousands innocents, mostly children, that Israel has slaughtered have been semites. So I’m not even gonna call you an anti-semite. You’re just a heartless prick.

do we even know how complicit biden and harris are for this shit? They’re just the administration, it’s the congress pushing the funding bill, and the bill passed, i feel like we should probably be focusing on the 500-600 odd members of congress that are seemingly fine with this instead of two people who are quite literally just sitting at the top of the chain.

there’s a lot that biden could have done ages ago. as things looked back when it first became obvious (at least to me,); if Biden had vetoed the aid package, that likely would have signaled a seachange in the dems and made the package not-super-majority proof.

But the first big one, they did lump it in with Ukraine and Taiwan specifically to get that stuff through republicans. Biden could have at any time vetoed the spending bills.

he could also have admited that they’re doing a genocide- or at the very least fucking warcrimes and be like “we need to hold onto that while you sort yourself out.”

The thing that pisses me of the most is that Biden is getting his zionist smeared across Harris- but I think she could actually be persuadable- but not if everyone is being assholes about it. She’s just not presently in a position to set policy. I hope I’m not reading it wrong and that her silence right now is… to not upset whatever the fuck Biden actually is doing. Because. as idioticly pathetically impotent as Biden is proving on this issue… I don’t think he’s just ignoring the genocide altogether. he’s not trump.

it would’ve also denied aid to ukraine as well as humanitarian aid to palestine, and if the package hadn’t been cucked by republicans so hard it would’ve also denied the border funding as well, though they blocked that independently themselves.

But the first big one, they did lump it in with Ukraine and Taiwan specifically to get that stuff through republicans. Biden could have at any time vetoed the spending bills.

this is extremely normal with large funding bills like this, it’s just how you get these bipartisan supported bills through.

he could also have admited that they’re doing a genocide- or at the very least fucking warcrimes and be like “we need to hold onto that while you sort yourself out.”

i mean yeah, but the US hasn’t exactly had the cleanest record when it comes to war crimes either. I mean we started numerous wars for shits and giggles.

It’d be nice to see this conflict resolved, but unfortunately i think a really big detriment to that goal currently is a lot of the palestine dialog that is just super aggressive and highly toxic. It also doesn’t help that it seems to be their only issue that they care about. Single issue voting has never once solved a problem. I think a lot of the democratic dialog right now is very front facing, there’s very little focusing on actual policy and specific issues that aren’t extremely marketable. Shit like palestine just isn’t a massive concern for the majority of the population, though i’m sure they would prefer it stopped. I imagine there’s going to be a lot of behind the scenes work to clean this shit up, if they get elected. Democrats tend to be all bite no bark.
