Emotional outburst on live TV from Gaza over death of reporter encapsulates collective grief
“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.
“These protection jackets and helmets don't protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. ... We lose our lives for no reason.”
This is heartbreaking, I don’t know what else to say. The justification that these casualties are acceptable because “Hamas is there too” is just nonsense. If that’s the case why won’t Israel let civilians cross the border into Israel to prevent their murder?
That would humanize those whom they oppress.
I doubt Hamas was at this reporter's house, which was singled out by Israel for an airstrike, which they then pretended to know nothing about.
You’re probably right, I’m just trying to get ahead of their typical excuse for collateral damage
Makes you wonder what they do get away with
Just playing devil's advocate, maybe it was hamas who bombed the house just to get sympathy. Hamas has shown that they don't really care much about civilian casualties.
Nuke the whole world, hamas is on the planet. Killing all humans is the only way to be sure.
Shh, don't give them ideas!
eh, just gaza
They even deported some stranded Palestinian workers to Gaza. Imagine that!
I wanna preface this with "Israel is clearly in the wrong for these attacks and civilians casualties are not an acceptable consequence of this conflict" but as others have already mentions: Israel not taking in Palestinians is very clearly because you can't reliably filter out hamas from Palestinian civilians. That doesn't make what their doing OK, it's just the very obvious reason for them not doing what you're suggesting. It doesn't help that these continues attacks probably makes the civilians population more likely to want to retaliate against the government. "You make the monsters you want to fight" and a that.
The denial of basic necessities for human survival and the driving of civilians southward is a coordinated push to expel the populous from the Gaza Strip. They've attempted back channel deals to scrub Egypt's debt for them to take in the civilians. Their "plan" to ship the expelled around the world has been leaked. People understand this, and thus, the only logical solution is for Israel to take care of these people whose lives they are shattering. They can't leave their land or Israeli land or they won't get it back. Whether it's worth dying over is largely out of the Palestinians in Gaza hands for the moment.
This can't be made someone else's problem, because that's exactly what Israel wants and that should make their motivations very clear.
This is also a fucking BS, sure you disapprove but you can't even put that on the table. Right now, Israel is fabricating more than ever the so called "terrorists", that's why they conflate the term with resistance fighter. Don't you fucking think it is a traumatic situation?! Bombing, displacing, cut water/electricity/food ...
At the very very least, it should have been a terrestrial attack, but they are so coward and reluctant to anything not jewish (last bit is in their book), that they go freestyle and free of consequence.
Whether you agree with Israeli attacks or not, obviously the answer to this is because it's impossible to filter out Hamas terrorists, which is the main thing they're trying to prevent.
Your right, best to kill them all then. What do you agree with btw?
So, you believe Israel can identify a Hamas terrorist remotely to bomb them, but can't identify Hamas terrorists when they are at the border in person?
My dude has never seen a customs office or checkpoint in his life
No its obviously because Israel doesn't care about Palestinians lol. They wouldn't have literally any of these issues if they hadn't been doing like 80 years worth of state sponsored occupation and murder.
You really think the people in Gaza chose to willingly leave their former homes and land to move into a military enclave?
Either they’re armed and easy to identify or they’re not at which point there’s one less person to worry about shooting Israeli soldiers while their tunnel network is dismantled. I don’t see the problem.
Why does Israel not let people leave and use its famed intelligence services to identify who the Hamas fighters are? It is looking like the Israeli government simply prefers collective punishment or even genocide.
How do you know who is Hamas and who is a civilian? It's not like Hamas honorably sticks to identifiable uniforms in this war they started
The war has been going on since long before October.
You're right, so let's just declare everyone in Gaza Hamas and bomb everyone. Right? Isn't that Israel's current policy?
Hey, why don't we speed things up and nuke the area. Wouldn't that be more efficient?
Killing civilian children is not an appropriate response to terrorism.
If they filter through the border they can’t be armed. It’d be pretty easy to take away all their arms if no one was left to guard their tunnels.
it's really obvious:
Why would you let people who may or may not be criminals / terrorists into your country ? What do you think this is the usa southern border ?
Would you let random people come flooding into your house ?
Racist bigot has entered the chat
The US southern border is so scary. Migrant workers enter the US every day, it's terrible. These people are going to ruin America by looking for better lives for themselves and their families. /s
I've lived very close to the US/Mexico border most of my life. There aren't any criminals and terrorists coming to live here. It's all just people looking for better lives. The criminals smuggle drugs and people over, but they don't move over here too often, and even if they do, it's just to sell drugs. There are no terrorists amongst them, idk where you got that idea.
Don't fall for right wing propaganda about the US/Mexico border.
