Israel bombs 6th UN-run school in Gaza in 10 days, kills dozens - Lemmy.World

Israel’s military has bombed another United Nations-run school as well as an Israeli-designed “safe-zone” in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 42 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others, according to Palestinian officials. The Israeli attacks on Tuesday hit the UN’s al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a main street lined with market stalls in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought shelter.

There is no way they hit them purposefully. Education is Israels best weapon against the Hamas leadership.

Unfortunately, education in Gaza has been directly linked to the incitement of terrorism. In Gaza the children read textbooks in school containing hateful, antisemitic messaging.

Ah, well, better do genocide then.

Do you really think trolling is appropriate for such a serious topic?

I don’t think anybody here wants death and destruction.

Just wondering why you have justified the bombings of children because… checks notes the UN run schools -might- have been teaching history to generate hate.

Please read the comment you replied to. “bombings of children” would be covered by “death and destruction”, i.e things I (and hopefully you) don’t want happening.

education in Gaza has been directly linked to the incitement of terrorism. In Gaza the children read textbooks in school containing hateful, antisemitic messaging along with encouraging martyrdom and jihad.

According to the IDF and far right Knesset members and organizations beholden to them. AKA the least reliable sources regarding anything even REMOTELY connected to Palestine.

If you’re unhappy with this particular link, just search yourself. There are condemnations from several institutions (amongst them the EU comission). This is pretty much common knowledge for those who are familiar with the situation.

I’ve seen the claim many times before and it’s been thoroughly debunked as disinformation again and again.

This is pretty much common knowledge for those who are familiar with the situation. blindly believe Israeli Hasbara meant to justify the unjustifiable.

Fixed that for you.

Oh? Well in that case please go ahead! I’ve yet to see such a “thorough debunking”. Don’t worry, I’ll be patient. Go ahead and make me pleasantly surprised.

Go ahead and make me pleasantly surprised.

Ah, the honeyed words of the local Sealion.

Their source is an Israeli organization, lol. There are so many parallels between Israel’s theft of Palestine and the Europeans’ theft of North America, “their education/religion/culture is terrorism” is just another one on the list.

The issue is why the school materials are radicalized in the first place.

If Israel, you know, would treat the Palestinians like human beings instead of blockading them from all aid and support for 30 years, maybe they wouldn’t face a radicalization threat.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. I was highlighting to the OP why education (in this instance) isn’t actually reducing bigotry and hate like it would in many other cases, but instead making the problem worse.

Besides, the issue with problematic materials in teaching is hardly limited to Gaza.

Couldn’t you just change the curriculum then; when you have full military control anyways? Bombing the schools seems a slight overreaction to me.
