Another Israeli airstrike on Gaza over night. Just only 300 Palestinians killed this time. Mostly, young children

More Palestinian children who won't grow up to be Hamas.

They're probably just getting a headstart on the demolition for Trump Gaza Riviera.

Israel callously targetting one of the many famous Gazan overnight, unsupervised kindergartens. Bastards.

Israeli genocide continues, what’s the death count currently?

Like I said above, that's more children who'll never be tempted to join Hamas.

It’s at least a relief to see that this time around, no-one is defending Israel’s actions.

Genocide? I wouldn’t quite call it that myself but wouldn’t argue with those who do. They may be right. Ethnic-cleansing as the term though? Without a shadow of a doubt.

As someone said before, bastards, the Israeli government that is.

Someone needs to be held accountable Dave

No doubt bombed by the Israelis with American bombs

It’s disgusting

In this world? Right now? Looks unlikely Oz.

Makes me hope there is an afterlife and that the likes of the murderous Netanyahu get to meet their maker who if he is a just god, simply points them in the direction of the down escalator.

(Hope you’re well by the way mate).

There seems to be a race to the bottom of who can be the most vile, spiteful and abominable 'leader' in the world.

It seems that in a world where it should be possible through technology etc. to do good more than ever before, hate appears to be 'winning', like some deranged fashion accessory for the most powerful.
Apart from being disturbing, it's frankly heart breaking.

And bastards, Hamas that started it all

If you take October ‘23 as the time it started, your shout.

These hatreds go back into the mists of time. But for the avoidance of doubt, yes, of course Hamas are in the ranks of this world’s bastards.

Both sides can be the bad guys. I rarely see that acknowledged. In this particular case, I think both sides (Hamas and Netanyahu’s government) transcend being bad guys and go straight to evil. And evil in the true sense of the word, rather than just some hyperbolic insult.

[Ozza]

Im well thanks mate....

As for your point, I find it strange that there is a need to blame one side or the other, to blame Hamas for "starting it" when over 40k thousand humans lay dead and likely four times that with life changing injuries. The situation, occupation, displacement, incarceration without trial...its horrendous.

The lack of humanity in it all is astounding, that decision makers can easily take away the accountability they have for ending peoples lives as simply as they seem to.

Just stop murdering people

I'm going with ethnic cleansing too. And Bastards, killing 50,000* people just to cover their abject failure to defend their country against a mob of heinous, inhuman, cowardly, murdering, raping, torturing, islamist, Hamas scum, who are only not genocidal because they don't have the physical means to be.

*Hamas figures

[Toulouse_Iron]

Netanyahu is only continuing with this killing as he knows that, when it stops, he will be held to account.

He also knows that, while his government are on a "wartime" footing, there can be no elections ergo he remains in power.

What was it the yanks said about Zelensky? I don't hear them levelling that same criticism at Netan-yahoo.

While he has the military backing of the yanks, the slaughter will continue.

Do I take it from this post that you believe the 50k deaths and the razing to the ground of Gaza would have happened anyway without Hamas' terrorist atrocity?

The rest of your post I have empathy for.

[Ozza]

Its impossible to know isn't it?

I think Netanyahu, has certainly exploited the situation to get away from the corruption questions that were being asked prior to the attack by Hamas as well as the lack of security which allowed it to happen.

The one thing we do know is that the murder of 45k civilians and complete destruction of Gaza is a disproportionate response to the apparent objective of removing Hamas, especially when you look at the indiscriminate weapons used that are all about mass casualties.

That doesnt take into the account the starvation, disease and all the other ways to reduce the population thats been used.

If you, for a moment remove any bias you have and you just think about the loss of life..... it's absolutely horrendous, regardless to who "started" and why it started, or any other what ifs.

And then of course there's BB's mate Donny waiting in the wings to turn a nice profit on it all for him and his mate no doubt

Israeli jets were bombing Gaza in September 2023.

He also knows that, while his government are on a "wartime" footing, there can be no elections ergo he remains in power.

Jeremy Bowen nailed it earlier this week...
