67 Palestinian and 7 Israeli Civilians Killed in Conflict

[Fahran]

Is this the warning they posted on Twitter, or their usual method of just dropping a smaller bomb on the roof a few minutes beforehand?

They dropped pamphlets about two hours before the airstrike.

Let’s think about the proportionate response to two or three people getting killed and some overgrown model rockets keeping your missile defense system busy: is it to launch an intense aerial bombardment of a densely populated urban area?

I'm talking about the recent rocket strikes against Jerusalem and Tel Aviv as well as the recent airstrikes in Gaza since that's what was brought up.

[Fahran]

Is that really the bar you want to set? “It’s not as bad as Aleppo,” one of the bloodiest, most brutal sieges on this side of WW2? “It’s not as bad as Yemen,” where millions of people have been starved because Riyadh thinks famine could be militarily expedient? That’s not an argument for what the Israelis are doing or a defense, that’s just saying “well, it could be worse”... which will literally always be true, unless they set up like, an industrial child-flaying facility or something.

My point is that Israel and Hamas are waging an unconventional war, and one that is not especially bloody by the standards of the region in the present-day. Comparing it to the Holocaust, for very transparent "gotcha" reasons, isn't altogether illuminating or informative. And Israel can plausibly claim to be on the defensive against Hamas.

Now I’m just confused what we’re talking about, were the 30ish dead killed in “clashes” in Jerusalem or something? I thought I read it was the result of an Israeli airstrike?

These are two distinct but related sets of events.

[Fahran]

Is Fahran perhaps talking about some specific other airstrike that didn’t kill any children? Or some strike from years ago? Who knows!

I'm talking about the recent strike on Hanadi Tower since it was brought up and was what prompted the current post chain.

Israel said it had sent 80 jets to bomb Gaza, and dispatched infantry and armour to reinforce the tanks already gathered on the border.

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

This is all we need, another fucking war in Gaza.

Isn't Gaza literally worthless? Why even bother fighting over it?

When this war inevitably fails to end Hamas, maybe Bibi can explain to the families who lost IDF kids in Gaza why they didn't die for nothing.

Because the Bible says it may or may not have been part of the ancient kingdom of Israel like 2000 years ago, so the Israelis would rather fight a war and get many of their own people killed than just let the Palestinians have a country.

The Palestinians have no where else to go and Israel doesn't like the missile strikes.

In a moment of self-reflection: I need to work with my empathy. I’m too desensitized to stuff like this.

My condolences go to the families of those people killed.

Great chance for the IDF to pump some lead into some Palestinian kids holding olive branches.

So is Israel gonna apologize yet for firing tear gas into Al Aqsa or are they gonna just keep doubling down and making it worse?

Probably the latter.

Israel will make it worse. No question.

Lucky then that the IDF has been so far successful in not suffering a single casualty, whereas the Hamas terror group has already suffered around 18 dead according to estimates.

Israel: Apologise? For what? It was self defense. It was the Palestinians who started it.
Rest of the World except US: In what way did they provoke? They were simply praying in Aqsa
Israel: uhh Duhhh. Exactly. Are ye Dumb?
Rest of the World except the US: *facepalm*
US: Stop persecuting my little brother. This is anti-semitism.

Didnt the UN help create israel?

An Israeli presence in Gaza is literally only meant to prevent rocket strikes from Hamas. There's no economic or cultural value to the region at present, at least not from an Israeli perspective.

Yeah, this is pretty awful. It's especially horrible that small children have been killed and harmed.
