Or maybe Israel is afraid anyone who spends enough time in Gaza will realize Israel are baddies too. Or maybe they expanded the Hannibal Directive to include post-capture hostages as well.
Source that they’re pets and not cattle? My farmer friend had a pet cow; they didn’t eat that cow. They ate other cows.
Houthis claim its new hypersonic missile managed to evade Israel’s air defence systems as Gaza war enters 12th month.
You’d think eventually Israel’s enablers (us Americans, Brits, and Europeans) would realize Israel’s actions are motivating more and more war and we’d stop kowtowing to Netanyahu. Have we not already collected enough data on how effective our various munitions are at blowing off children’s limbs?
It probably won’t happen until the people who confuse Netanyahu with Anne Frank are out of power.
They employ 30,000 people. It’s only natural that after decade of abuse, at least a few will use force against the blockading super-power that periodically kills their children at random.
And Israel made allegations against 19, only 9 of whom the UN found good evidence for so there’s a better than 50-50 chance a given “Hamas” UNRWA employee is perfectly innocent. Most “western democracies” wouldn’t take a 50-50 shot at killing civilians but Israel’s so called “precision strikes” demonstrate they’re perfectly happy to murder arbitrary numbers of children in the process of killing a maybe-terrorist.
The UN condemns as "totally unacceptable" the strike, which Israel says targeted Hamas fighters.

That’s fine, but I think you’ll be able to reach/influence more people with intentional source selection.
In this example, if Iran claims the UN said that, I’d still go and confirm it (which I did). If Al Jazeera or Reuters says he said it, I don’t feel the need to double check; I know they won’t flat out lie. Someone lazier than I was here might just remember this story as a “maybe” if they didn’t bother checking the source themselves.
Then use Al Jazeera. But if Trump Media tells me it’s rainy in the Pacific Northwest I’m going to have doubts, and if Iran says Israel’s doing Israel things… I’m going to have doubts.
While there’s nothing about the story that’s hard to believe given Israel’s love for genocide and harming anyone who cares about the humanity of Palestinians, can we get a source that isn’t literally Iran?

That’s one heck of a crater for a strike on tents. I’m sure they’ll release footage of the strike showing that it was secondary explosions, and not that they used enormous munitions to obliterate bodies so the reported casualty count from bodies at hospitals is lower.</s>
My tax dollars at work, funding genocide, and nothing I can even do about it.
That’s a big crater for some tents. Does it help reduce the documented civilian body count when you just turn them entirely into mist and they become missing instead of killed?
Hey now, we’re also going to deliver another shipment of 2000lb bombs to use against civilians in tents, but with a strongly worded letter attached.
Source that the Palestinian victims of Israeli settler violence are the same ones using violent resistance against the occupation?
The German political establishment has abandoned the belief that the Holocaust gave it a responsibility to humanity and replaced it with a responsibility to Israel alone.

But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been widely adopted (and here), anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Why do you hate Jewish people?
-
Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
-
Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Totally unprovoked! Israel were the most moral army in the world until Hamas forced them to start offing kids in October 2023</s>
Protection? They also need reparations after this.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which tracks violent incidents in the West Bank, said in its latest update on Wednesday that Israeli settlers had carried out 25 attacks against Palestinians in the previous week.
Wow. So if you fight for your land, your territory gets leveled and you get rapidly genocided, and if you try to coexist peacefully, you get slowly genocided?
The official resigned over arms sales to Israel, saying the UK government "may be complicit in war crimes".
> “Senior members of the Israeli government and military have expressed open genocidal intent, Israeli soldiers take videos deliberately burning, destroying and looting civilian property,” he wrote. “Whole streets and universities have been demolished, humanitarian aid is being blocked and civilians are regularly left with no safe quarter to flee to. Red Crescent ambulances have been attacked, schools and hospitals are regularly targeted. These are War Crimes.” He said there was “no justification for the UK's continued arms sales to Israel”.
Does China have the US government by the nuts? Does China get F-35s and 2000lb bombs funded by my tax dollars for their genocide? Is China a shining example of western democracy and values in their part of the world? Is it possible to be upset about more than one genocide at a time?
Excuse me, please keep in mind that the terms “Palestinian children” and “children of Gaza” are now antisemitic. The most moral army in the world prefers different, more holocaust/genocide-sensitive terminology.
Alternate source since I’ve never heard of The Cradle” and have no idea if it is credible or not.
> “Welcome to Hell” is a report on the abuse and inhuman treatment of Palestinians held in Israeli custody […] Facilities in which every inmate is deliberately subjected to harsh, relentless pain and suffering operate as de-facto torture camps.
Thanks, today I learned about New Historians.
Last week, the treatment of Palestinian prisoners ignited a furious public row, as far right demonstrators – including members of Israel’s parliament – violently tried to prevent the arrest of soldiers accused of sexually abusing a prisoner from Gaza at the Sde Teiman military base. Some of those protesting were followers of Israel’s hardline security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, the man in overall charge of the prison service. Mr Ben Gvir has frequently boasted that under his watch, conditions for Palestinian detainees have deteriorated sharply.
Such an shining example of Western values and democracy in the Middle East. Let’s send them more bombs and F-35s for self-defense against children huddling in schools and hospitals!
Don’t worry though, people who dislike Israel just secretly hate people for being Jewish. Totally not because of the decades of abuse.</s>
The model was chosen to promote shoes referencing the 1972 Munich Olympics, at which 11 Israeli athletes were killed.
(Israel’s influence is insane)
More than 92,600 people have been displaced from their villages in south Lebanon by the attacks, according to the IOM.
Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage last month, inciting and co-ordinating attacks on WhatsApp.
> What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.
Hamas fires rockets towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in months.
> Hamas says it has launched a rocket attack towards the Tel Aviv area in central Israel for the first time in nearly four months. > At least eight rockets were launched from the Rafah area in southern Gaza and several were intercepted, the Israeli military says. No injuries have been reported.
More than 800 officials in the US and Europe have penned a letter calling for more pressure on Israel.
> More than 800 serving officials in the US and Europe have signed a statement warning that their own governments' policies on the Israel-Gaza war could amount to "grave violations of international law".
[…]
> "Israel's military operations have disregarded all important counterterrorism expertise gained since 9/11… the [military] operation has not contributed to Israel's goal of defeating Hamas and has instead strengthened the appeal of Hamas, Hezbollah and other negative actors".
