Israel continuing their genocidal plan with devastating affect. Bombing hospitals and killing kids as usual. Wasn't treated as a big deal in previous occasions that Israel bombed Palestine and won't be treated as a big deal now. Israeli government and the Israeli military are without out 100x worse than Hamas but criticism in the mainstream media stays near silent.

Just a shame that the Arab countries with power are too in bed with the US to actually exist as some sort of repellent for Israel who just do what they want with Palestine.

The hospital that got bombed today appears to be from a failed Hamas rocket though. Not that it excuses some of the other things the IDF has done in their bombing campaign on Gaza. I think the strikes on the south of Gaza, after telling people to evacuate there, are particularly condemnable. But that hospital rocket footage and the clips of the aftermath (500 people died) also demonstrate how Hamas don't particularly give a shit about Gaza's most vulnerable and are keen to continue fighting without regard for how many innocents (Israeli or Palestinian) die.

But I do question what Israel's real strategy is here other than vengeance. It's not like this slow systematic crushing of Gaza is going to lead to anything other than more land taken from Palestinian control. The longer this goes on, the more likely it is that Gazans don't even have Gaza City anymore - they'll just be forced onto camps.

I'm not sure you can blame the neighboring Arab countries for not wanting anything to do with Palestinian refugees. Hamas has close ties with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt - Egypt's government doesn't exactly like them lol. And with Jordan, the last time they took in Palestinian refugees their king was assassinated and Palestinians tried to overthrow their government.

Once Israel annexes all of Palestine it will go for low population density areas like Sinai and parts of Lebanon next. It will use the 'we have terrorist threat' from these places as an excuse to launch military operations like Russia. 

Greater Israel is a not conspiracy.

This statement ignores diligently that Israel only annexed territories from other nations after said nations attacked Israel initially and lost the following war til now. Something many Muslims tend to "forget" to mention when talking about Israel's annexion.

Appears to be? What is your source for this? Was the air strike on the school also a failed Hamas rocket?

Watch 19:59 to 20:01

No, I think the air strike on the school was the IDF. Also the bombing of south Gaza (where they've told people to evacuate to) also appears to be IDF bombings.

That's the IDF's angle. Which makes it completely untrustworthy as they're an extremely unreliable source of info. Especially on their own war crimes.

It's also being reported on Al Jazeera. And that's Qatari state media, and Qatar's one of the 2 countries holding the purse strings for Hamas.

What do you see on this webcam that proves that it's a failed Hamas rocket launch?

A rocket coming from the Gaza side of the border failing and crashing down? Israel's committing enough war crimes on it's own to where if even Al Jazeera, which is not exactly unbiased in the conflict, is agreeing that this hospital was struck by a failed rocket... it probably was the case. Hamas rockets failing and killing Palestinians isn't really anything new. It's not exactly state of the art rocket technology they're using.

It's not like Hamas killing more Palestinians somehow absolves Israel of bombing a school or bombing areas they've told people to evacuate to. Those are pretty clearly war crimes, I don't think we need to have more fabricated to make the case that the IDF's committing war crimes. Hamas is also very clearly capable of killing Palestinians as well.

It does seem odd seeing Joe Biden & friends batting for the other side.

You think it's surprising seeing the US and other big western countries take Israel's side? The US gives them $6B a year to spend on US weapons, there was never any doubt that Biden wouldn't be at bat for Israel.

– The wars started because of illegal enroachment on Palestinians territories

– Israel has annexed more territories like Golan Heights from Syria since then without provocation.

Ahemm the Golan Heights were annected after the 6 days war, that's far from without provocation.
