Gaza conflict -- Two years of devastation and dim prospects ahead

According to Gaza-based authorities, over 90 percent of Gaza's infrastructure has been destroyed by Israeli airstrikes. More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed -- the vast majority of them being civilians, women and children -- and 169,000 more wounded. According to official Israeli figures, thousands of Israelis have been killed since the conflict between Hamas and Israel began. Dozens of hostages taken by Hamas during its initial assault remain in captivity, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's early promise to bring every one of them home.

@RememberUsAlways A discussion can't be logical, when it is based on false narratives...

This is closer to "the truth":
#Genocide vs. #Genocide
#Army vs. #Militias
#ForeignSupport vs. #ForeignSupport
#InstrumentalisationOfTheShoah vs. #InstrumentalisationOfColonialism
#Walls vs. #Tunnels
#Expulsion vs. #SuicideAttacks
#Hate vs. #Hate
#Racism vs. #AntiSemitism
#MilitarySuperiority vs #TemporalSuperiority
#Systemic vs. #Systemic

The powerful and power-hungry against the civilian population – on both sides.
#DesireForPeace vs #DesireForPeace
#Israelis AND #Palestinians

We must base the discussion on a logical and at least approximately historically accurate foundation that breaks out of the usual antagonism and cannot be monopolised by one side.
We must stand on the side of the people, not the states or their leaders!
