CNN Host Left Stunned As IDF Confirms Israel Hit Refugee Camp With Airstrike

That's our fucking tax money, that's what's killing me. We are indirectly funding the killing of all of these innocent people. I hate life.

And people wonder why they're calling what Israel is doing a genocide...

Genocide.

There is no excuse for this. Don't you dare try and find one.

I think Israel is losing the information war on this recent crisis. They're trying to defend the indefensible. There's no way to spin "we dropped a bomb on a refugee camp" into something acceptable. And people are seeing the bullshit for what it is.

Seems like the sort of thing that, in addition to being morally abhorrent, would drive more Palestinians to become terrorists.

Frankly I don't know which words are powerful enough to describe this and condemn it. I don't think the right words exist to explain how bad it is.

This logic is just... If it's justified to blow up a refugee camp to kill a senior leader of Hamas, then by that same logic, Hamas would be justified in blowing up Israel's capitol buildings to kill Netanyahu.

Fucking hell, not only that, but this logic defends the Hamas attack on Israel too. There could have been IDF members there or government officials.

I don't see how anybody condemning Hamas' terrorist attack could not condemn this. It's the same picture.

I mean yeah, that's where the Palestinians are, who did they think was the target of a military attack on a city?

It's getting hard for people to pretend that this isn't a genocide when the people doing it aren't even bothering to pretend it isn't.

It's textbook genocide. They've seen they can get away with anything under the guise of war, so why not just solve all their issues and make sure no one's alive to return to their homes?

From the article:

“But you know that there are a lot of refugees, a lot of innocent civilians—men, women, and children—in that refugee camp as well, right?” Blitzer asked again.
“This is the tragedy of war, Wolf. We as you know, we’ve been saying for days, move south. Civilians who are not involved with Hamas, please move south.”

Holy shit, Wolf is getting trolled on just as hard as us, but on live TV... I hate the future.

"There could be infrastructure there, there could be tunnels there. We’re still looking into it.”

So... you bombed this refugee area, didn't give a fuck... you got the target you wanted along with a bunch of civilians. Now, after the fact, you are searching for more justifications than you had before the attack was sanctioned.

What the fuck. They may as well just say "tell us what you need to hear for this to be okay, and we'll say it".

70 year of atrocities committed in Palestine with the support of western powers and the indifference of western media

2023 : IDF commits yet another round of genocidal atrocities in Palestine

western media: Surprised Pikatchu face 🤯

Blitzer pressed Hecht on the logic involved in Israel’s decision to target the refugee camp.

“This is the tragedy of war, Wolf. We as you know, we’ve been saying for days, move south. Civilians who are not involved with Hamas, please move south.”

They have been bombing the southern humanitarian corridor too. So I am not sure what he is saying.

Also, the thing about battlefields is that eventually the north becomes the south. At least if you are winning.

Now they will start saying that beneath every hospital and refugee camp in Gaza lies a Hamas headquarter.

We’re doing everything we can, you know, other than not dropping bombs directly on refugees

Just to note, they've bombed people in cars fleeing Gaza as directed by them as well. There really is no safe way to be in or attempt to leave.

Who comes up with these headlines?? Certainly not someone who based it off the video used to support their claim.

This bullshit dilutes real news stories. Headline should read; "IDF bombs refugee camp in attempt to kill Hamas terrorist, knowing it was full of civilians." That's the story and it's fucked alone as it is. Why sensationalize this and make up shit that is objectively untrue??

This is how we know they didn't hit that hospital car park the other week.

They're not ashamed of what they do. They just say they were "targeting a Hamas commander" and walk away.

It's just sad, absolutely sad that Israel is using these excuses to use weapons of war against thousands of impoverished, innocent civilians, the large majority having nothing to do with the tragedy that occurred in early October.

The U.S. needs to take away the toys it gave to Israel.

Fuck Israel

Are we the baddies?

"There could be infrastructure there, there could be tunnels there."

Translation:

We killed them all just in case one of them was an asshole. What if we're actually totally justified in bombing a refugee camp? We certainly don't know for sure that we weren't. Now that all of those innocent children are dead we're checking under their corpses to see if there's anything we can use to make ourselves seem like the good guy here.

Oh, man... do I have news for Wolf Blitzer - Israel loves bombing refugee camps almost as much as they love bombing hospitals.

Israel's excuse is pure political theater. This was a war crime. Regardless of who's coming a war crime - Israel, Hamas, Russia, America, Isis, or anyone else, they should be held to account. But they won't, which is just so fucked up. But much like politicians and cops, you can't effectively punish the ones with all the power.

Israel is punching down so hard it's insane. If they really knew where the Hamas leader was, they could absolutely send in a team or assassin to take him out without the collateral damage. It's not like they don't have spec ops or all the money and military resources they could need to do the job. Hell, the pro-Ukraine saboteurs in Russia have been able to destroy military assets and assassinated at least one oligarch, all without hitting a crowd of civilians no matter how anti-Ukraine said civilians might be. Israel has no goddamn excuse. Neither does Hamas. They're both at fault and the individual persons responsible should be punished.

Burned down the haystack to find the needle

Don't worry, in about 23 more strikes they'll then send in ground forces to sort the survivors. /sarcasm

I'm an ardent supporter of Israel and their right to defend themselves in these extreme times. This isn't that.

This is not okay. Targeting the tunnels is understandable. Targeting their leadership is understandable. Targeting a refugee camp is not acceptable, it's the sort of thing Hamas would do and I can't believe they've gone that far.

Permanently Deleted

I have noticed a change in tone from the colonel. He was very much all fire and bluster before while explaining why it's Palestinians' fault they are dying. Now he comes across as far gentler while explaining why it's Palestinians' fault they are dying.

What a sick fuck!

I'm all for Israel defending themselves, but they're not even trying to hide the fact that this is about revenge, not security.

Why the fuck is a Scottish guy defending this

Did he have a Scottish accent?

Mod test reply -- testing out something new. Just ignore this, will delete in a few.

Anyone have the clip?

I get it, the Jews want their turn since they were getting killed by the german Nazis in the Holocaust.Now they want to do it to the Palestinians.

Im sure Hamas wasnt among them

Disclaimer: what I'm about to say is not in support of any action, it's just philosophical musing.

Isn't the whole concept of a war crime sort of hypocritical? War is inherently barbaric and uncivilized. Yet we seem to think we can make it something other than that by placing restrictions on parts of it. The goal is to defeat your enemy but society says it's not gentlemanly to do it in a particular way, as if treating it like a sporting event with ineffectual referees will fundamentally change what's happening. At the end of the day we're still giving the green light to kill a bunch of people. I get why we do it, it just seems insincere to stop short of saying any amount of killing is immoral. We'll only allow you to kill these people in these places under these circumstances.

I don't know how this helps anybody it's just something I was thinking about.

The U.S. has a talking zombie for a leader. Victims of injustice have long memories, and so do their families. The world is not on the side of Israel. The Holocaust trump card that diverts any criticism of Israel's behavior as anti-Semitism is expired, null, and void. They are backed by the U.S. unequivocally, to commit genocide rather than push for ceasefire and dialogue. The U.S. president, a talking zombie, has made his country less safe.

I was talking about Chomsky. He is not trustworthy.

Technical speaking by hosting military units it became a legitimate target.

War is hell, isn't it?

It's a religious holy war, nothing else... And it's irrational because of it.

Religion has darkened politics for the past decade in particular ways. In America it's shown Christians will support fascism. In the middle east it's showing Jews will do as well...

...religion is the root cause. Anyone over there is there for religious reasons. I think perhaps it would be best if, whenever peace is achieved, the secularist west nuke the entire area, with a particular focus on long term irradiation of all holy sites. This version of humanity in the current era can't handle organised religion, and it needs to be prohibited with an automatic means of early death. It needs to be made abstract and reasonable... and only the irrationality or nuclear irradiation can be its metaphorical equal.

Nuke religion. Nuke religious wars. Irradiated holy sites.

OK CNN, so ? at least you get clicks and time views.

where's the fucking flag "we stand with " you were throwing up at our face during Ukraine invasion ???

It's not about what's right and wrong, it's about who will stop them. This is America's war.

And yet no one bats an eye when china murders millions of muslims or Armenians are getting wiped out. The west only cares about Palestinians, even when they get warning after warnings of evacuation orders. "Israel says leave north Gaza for fear of your life" "Two weeks pass, plenty of time for anyone to flee" "People who didn't live are fearing their lives"

Come on. Are they supposed to go in there on foot on basically suicide missions to heavily trapped areas because people are refusing to get out of an active warzone after multiple warnings? How about keeping Hamas responsible for evacuating their civilians when they live in active warzones? Israel is legit the only country in the world who knocks first, and ya'll are goving them crap for it. Grow up.

People get surprised when people are killed in warzones. 10/10 logic.

if hamas werent cowards they wouldnt try (and fail) to hide in civilian camps. they do it because they have no actual chance in a real war. end result is more civilian casualties.

Glass of juice.

Hamas doesn't seem to be enjoying this particular Finding Out phase.

You mean this?

“A short while ago, IDF fighter jets, acting on ISA intelligence, killed Ibrahim Biari, the Commander of Hamas' Central Jabaliya Battalion. Biari was one of the leaders responsible for sending “Nukbha” terrorist operatives to Israel to carry out the murderous terror attack on October 7th. Numerous Hamas terrorists were hit in the strike.

Biari oversaw all military operations in the northern Gaza Strip since the IDF entered. He was also responsible for sending the terrorists who carried out the 2004 terrorist attack in the Ashdod Port in which 13 Israelis were murdered, and was responsible for directing rocket fire at Israel, and advancing numerous attacks against the IDF, over the last two decades.

His elimination was carried out as part of a wide-scale strike on terrorists and terror infrastructure belonging to the Central Jabaliya Battalion, which had taken control over civilian buildings in Gaza City. The strike damaged Hamas’ command and control in the area, as well as its ability to direct military activity against IDF soldiers operating throughout the Gaza Strip. As a result of the strike, a large number of terrorists who were with Biari were killed. Underground terror infrastructure embedded beneath the buildings, used by the terrorists, also collapsed after the strike.

The IDF reiterates its call to the residents of the area to move south for their safety.”an this?

They apparently managed to kill Ibrahim Biari - he was near the top of the Hamas hierarchy. I'm impressed that they knew he was there.
