At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported. The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children. Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”. The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

It’s clearly designed to launch rockets and hide a cache of weapons… /s

Aljazeera Arabic released a video showing some of the victims of this brutal israeli massacre of little children. Some injured some dead.

Harrowing. Those poor children.

Fuck Israel. Fuck HAMAS.

Linkerbaan Apr 17, 2024

Hamas had nothing to do with this brutal israeli slaughter of little children.

Unless we take the IDF suggestion that all these kids were “Hamas operatives”.

queezywheezy Apr 17, 2024

I never said they did.

But they also slaughtered children.

I stand by my statements.

Linkerbaan Apr 17, 2024

Hamas has a 3% child casualty rate on October 7 (including all israeli friendly fire)

Israel has a 40% child casualty rate since October 7

One of these is not like the other.

macniel Apr 17, 2024

It’s incredible that leaders like Biden can still back Israel after actions like this.

The United States cannot turn its back on its allies so easily. It takes decades to build strong alliances.

Sterile_Technique Apr 17, 2024

What a horrific example of the sunk cost fallacy.

nonailsleft Apr 17, 2024

I don’t think this is a purely economic equation

RunningInRVA Apr 17, 2024

So it’s not a good example? What does it say to other allies when we drop one? Israel was attacked. We should stand by them. Certainly I am not supportive of what is happening in Gaza. I blame Bibi, not Biden.

CaptainSpaceman Apr 17, 2024

A country who bombs children without regard is no ally to a modern nation

Patapon Enjoyer Apr 17, 2024

What does it say to other allies when we drop one?

Probably something like “bombing children is bad” or “don’t commit genocide”

small44 Apr 17, 2024

Bibi may be the worst, but it’s not like other prime minister was good with Palestine

capem Apr 17, 2024

Israel is only a detriment to the US.

It’s the main reason behind the 9/11 attacks, which cost the US trillions of dollars.

octopus_ink Apr 17, 2024

Why would Israel stop? They don’t give a shit and no one is doing more than frowning at them in response.

Can’t believe THIS is something I find topical and in need of posting over and over:

Six Wars Old: Sixteen Years of Childhood in Gaza - Visualizing Palestine

Israel is not only killing Palestinian children at astonishing rates since October 2023, but killing the childhood of those who survive. We first published this visual as “Four Wars Old” in May 2021, and with today’s update, it highlights SIX Israeli military assaults on Gaza in sixteen years.

Unfortunately we the people keep promoting the most narcissistic, sociopathic people to “leadership” positions. This is in all nations and the consequences of this are all over the place throughout all history yet few are talking about it.

Boomer Humor Doomergod Apr 18, 2024

Narcissistic sociopaths are exactly the sort of people who seek out power

Mrkawfee Apr 17, 2024

Don’t worry the US will “look into it” and express “concern” before repeating how ironclad their support for Israel is.

Deceptichum Apr 17, 2024

Joe Biden was heard rehearsing into his mirror that he was upset with Bibi.

Aceticon Apr 19, 2024

He really needs to get over the habit of giving a wink and a nod at the end of his “expression of concern”.

IbnLemmy Apr 17, 2024

So, here’s a question, what would be the appropriate Palestinian response to this?

nonailsleft Apr 17, 2024

Grief?

DdCno1 Apr 17, 2024

Not whatever Hamas is doing.

BreakDecks Apr 17, 2024

Okay, Oct. 7 is what they did, but what are they currently doing that you think warrants the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian children?

What level of response to that do you think Palestinians are entitled to?

Or do you think they deserve this for existing, and oppose any resistance at all?

DdCno1 Apr 17, 2024

What they are currently doing is still sending unguided rockets towards Israel, rockets that have an accuracy measured in kilometers and can thus only be used as terror weapons. Is Israel just supposed to eat those? Their defenses aren't perfect and every single alert means that people have to interrupt whatever they are doing and rush into shelter within seconds.

slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian children

Because every single death in Gaza is either that of a child or a woman. What a ridiculous claim. Here's another reminder that the only numbers we have from Gaza are those reported by Hamas themselves. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't even trust them as far as I can throw them.

There are legitimate forms of resistance, both armed and unarmed. Neither Hamas nor any other militant Palestinian organization has ever focused on legitimate resistance. It's always been terrorism. The difference between Israel and its enemies is that civilian casualties are an unintended side-effect to Israel, one which they are trying to minimize through all sorts of measures, whereas for Palestinian organizations, it's the main goal. Had the October 7 attacks limited themselves to military targets like border fortifications and command centers only, that would have been legitimate armed resistance. But they did not, they only did this in order to enable the murder, rape and abduction of civilians.

Mrkawfee Apr 17, 2024

Go to hell you Zionist psychopath

Mrkawfee Apr 17, 2024

Bad Hasbara.

Count042 Apr 17, 2024

Dumb shit anti-semitic racist justifying a genocide while ignoring things like the March of Return and other non-violent protests ending in slaughter from Israeli snipers literally wearing t-shirts showing stick figure pregnant women in cross hairs with the caption “One shot, Two kills”

You do realize the internet and the ability to automatically translate the genocidal rheoteric coming from the Israeli government has changed things, right?

People who don’t speak Hebrew can now translate shit in real time.

DoomBot5 Apr 17, 2024

March of Return and other non-violent protests

Oh right, storming a national border and flying incendiary balloons into Israel is considered non-violent when it comes to talking about Palestinians.

Count042 Apr 17, 2024

Your timeline is wrong with your bullshit for justifying the slaughter of peaceful unarmed people.

DoomBot5 Apr 17, 2024

Sorry, I guess your lack of reading comprehension goes along with your lack of knowledge of history. My timeline is quite accurate as to the events that took place during the violent border protests known as “march of return”. They even burned a bunch of tires to conceal their activities.

Natanael Apr 18, 2024

What’s linear time?

sabin Apr 17, 2024

Palestinians are opposing the wrong people. If Hamas operatives were unable to operate publicly this war would be a lot easier for Israel to conduct in a manner that minimizes civilian casualties.

BreakDecks Apr 17, 2024

Hamas ≠ Palestinians

Hamas may target Israeli civilians in their war against the IDF, and that is fucking evil, but Palestinian civilians are just trying to survive. The IDF kills orders of magnitude more Palestinian civilians in their war against Hamas, and that is orders of magnitude more evil.

Expecting Palestinian civilians, half of which are children, and all of which are currently experiencing a man-made famine, to lead the charge against Hamas or die in the crossfire is fucking deranged.

Atin Apr 18, 2024

Hamas is the defacto government of Gaza. They have more support amongst the people than most governments in working democracy. So yes Hamas does equal Palestinians in Gaza.

Natanael Apr 18, 2024

More than half of the current population had also not yet been born when Hamas was elected, so you can not reasonably say it’s their responsibility when no election has been held since and when even Netanyahu personally has supported Hamas financially and helped them destabilize competing parties who wanted peace

gedaliyah Apr 17, 2024

You are aware that Hamas has continued armed fighting, including firing rockets at civilians since October 7, right? Just because Oct. 7 was by far the worse, that doesn’t mean they laid down their arms and surrendered.

rasmus Apr 18, 2024

So you think they should just let the genocide continue?

gedaliyah Apr 18, 2024

I think Hamas should surrender and release the hostages. I don’t see another realistic way to end the war at this point.

rasmus Apr 19, 2024

Well if they surrender then they will just kill more with less resistance

capem Apr 17, 2024

Fight back by any means necessary.

Burgomaestre_paris Apr 17, 2024

Thank you Biden

RunningInRVA Apr 17, 2024

Thank Bibi. Not Biden.

givesomefucks Apr 17, 2024

Compare his response to this: absolutely nothing

To his response to a counterattack that resulted in zero casualties and not the US and Israel were warned of ahead of time: wanting to start WW3

nonailsleft Apr 17, 2024

Wanting to what now?

givesomefucks Apr 17, 2024

What the fuck do you think will happen if the US and Israel attack Iran for a “counterattack” that killed zero people that was in response to Israel attacking Iran’s embassy?

Like, do you even realize what countries are acting rationally here?

nonailsleft Apr 17, 2024

What makes you think the US would attack Iran?

Natanael Apr 18, 2024

US literally did the opposite by only shooting down drones and missiles after leaving Iranian territory.

USA did that specifically to ensure there would be no risk of a major Israeli target being destroyed, because any significant damage on Israeli soil by Iranian weapons would have inevitably led to an Israeli escalation with another counterattack, leading to open war.

USA is NOT going to attack Iran (not with Biden in charge, at least, Trump might try a second time if he gets the chance).

Israel has multiple parties who want to attack Iran and multiple who want to avoid war. That’s why USA got involved, to pressure those who want to attack Iran to stand down, working together with the ones who want to avoid it.

Burgomaestre_paris Apr 17, 2024

What does Biden’s cock taste like?
