As a father of a soon-to-be-4-year-old, that picture tears me up inside. I can't fathom losing my son, especially not in this way. That goes for both sides of this fucking terrible thing.
If Israel wanted to end this they could. They'd get their hostages back and they'd get to mourn their dead.
Instead they immediately moved to starve millions of people to spite, what Wikipedia claims is (ie. a likely exaggerated) 20,000 Hamas members, of which Israel can only count one to be officially killed by their actions so far.
They're now talking of a "final solution" for the "palestine problem". Half are already homeless, trapped beside the border crossings that israel bombs if not to their liking. How long until Israel is either allowed to enact their "final solution" or instigates a regional conflict between countries trying to prevent that?
If only Saudi Arabia didn't want a civilian nuclear program.
What am I talking about? Saudi Arabia was about to sign a defense agreement with the United States that would have allowed them to have a civilian nuclear program and enter into a defense pact with the United States. The only condition placed on Saudi Arabia was that they had to normalize relations with Israel. Iran didn't like this, because they're biggest competitor in the region was Saudi Arabia. If only there was a way to keep Saudi Arabia from normalizing relations with Israel. I wonder what Iran could have done to prevent that...
Says the "Gaza Authorities" hahahahaha, means Hamas. Hamas do nothing but lie. The same people screaming bloody murder after Hamas lied about the PIJ bombing their own Hospital killing 50 as "dur dur dur The IDF killed 500" are the same Islamofascist Jew killing motherfuckers making these daily claims of hundreds being killed by the IDF again.
And the Edge lords, Jew baiters, Nazis, Islamofascists, and Anarchists will scream bloody murder again. Makes no difference.
Also, Al Jazeera aren't Qatari shills, Al Jazeera are Qatari.
Al Jazeera was founded by Sheikh Hamad ibn Khalifa Al Thani, emir of Qatar, in 1996 and is wholly owned by the State of Qatar. Qatar funds Hamas and Hezbollah to kill Jews, and all the news from Al Jazeera is meant to convince the world that Jews have no place in the Middle East, and no claim to Israel. It was the singluar reason the Emir of Qatar founded Al Jazeera in the first place.
It's a single purpose propaganda organization.
None of this matters to the Jew baiters in the Fediverse though.
I block anyone posting Al Jazeera anything, you might well as title your post "Yalla, rape, kill, and burn all the Jews". Fuck Al Jazeera, and fuck anyone that posts from it, knowing they target Jews for murder.
This is simply disgusting and utterly unjustifiable. Yes a nation has the right to defend itself - when it's under attack as it was by Hamas two weeks ago. Once the attack is over, going into Gaza and blatantly murdering people is no longer "defense," it is sick and perverted retaliation - a chance for mentally ill men to go use their sick weapons to kill, hurt, maim, torture, destroy, wound, and obliterate. Give them weapons, men will always invent (completely erroneous) reasons to use them againt innocent civilians. SHAME AND DAMNATION ON EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS WAR.
Any israelis or palestinians who engage in this war, for terrorist reasons, retaliation, or just for the sick thrill they get from killing children, is a total monster and to blame in every way with no exception. And all who participate, will burn in hell for the rest of eternity without exception and in every possible way. I am a lone voice screaming the horror of this war mentality into the wind. War is not a justifiable response to ANYTHING. And it never can be. But most especially, it cannot be justified by any group claiming to have any actual religious ideals of any kind.
