Israel resumed bombing the Gaza Strip, as the truce ended this morning after failed negotiations.

The Health ministry in Gaza reports dozens killed in airstrikes today. The WHO describes the situation in Gaza hospitals as “like a horror movie” and is worried, that the last remaining hospitals in Gaza will have to cease medical care soon.

The US urges Israel to not repeat “massive loss of civilian life” as seen in northern Gaza, but Israels inconsistent warning of civillians as well as bombing of designated safe areas raises questions to Israels intentions of protecting civillians.

    Israel never stopped murdering Palestinians in the West Bank, and even shot a bunch of Palestinian civilians who tried to go North during the “cease-fire”.

    The cease-fire was Hamas trying to give people as much time to evacuate as they could, because Israel was clear from the beginning that they intended to go back to murdering Palestinians afterwards. And of course Israel is now expanding “operations” in the South, since that’s where the majority of Palestinians are now.

    Everyone always says the answer is that the “other side” stop being violent and be nice. It never happens. So my question to the liberals is, if being nice doesn’t work, what’s your answer to the situation? Have Israel disarm and let Hamas murder Israelis with impunity? Have Hamas disarm and have Israel settle palistine with impunity? It’s been 70 years of this. And by 70 I really mean about 7000.

    Lol, they fired rockets at Israel at 05:42 (ceasefire was scheduled till 07:00) and yesterday 3 people were killed in a terrorist attack that they (proudly) took responsibility for.
    Guess we’re due for another apology from the BBC…

      Israel killed Palestinians in Gaza who were heading North during the “cease-fire”.

      Israel killed Palestinians in the West Bank who they said were Hamas during the “cease-fire”.

      Israel never even wanted the cease-fire except that it would lay bare Bibi’s complete lack of giving a shit about the hostages on Hamas’s side if he refused, and he couldn’t afford that either internationally or internally.
