This is not just about the strikes, read the fucking article.
minors in the Palestinian territories have endured systematic violence for decades. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 1,434 Palestinian children have been killed between 2008 and August 31 of this year, with most deaths attributed to Israeli forces. The UN Office for Children and Armed Conflicts (CAAC) documented 1,679 cases of maimed minors between 2019 and 2022. Defense for Children International, citing UNICEF data, reported that 3,000 Palestinian children have been detained, interrogated, tried and imprisoned since 2000. A significant number of these minors (1,598 in the past decade) needed medical attention while under arrest, suggesting possible mistreatment.
There are cases of this even in the West bank. Should I copy the whole article for you?
but a million-plus people dying of dehydration, starvation, or treatable illness isn’t a better look than people dying in a ground assault.
well you can just say: "It's a side effect of war, HAMAS can use those resources too! we cannot allow that to happen", but when your troops are on the ground and can see what they're killing Al-Jazeera becomes a problem.
The same can be applied to airstrikes: "They cannot see what they're hitting"
their already-shaky international support would collapse.
I can assure you that they can kill nearly anyone in the middle east at this point and that won't happen, they can kill an entire population and they will get away with it if they do it over a long enough period of time.
increasing desperation could benefit them.
You might be right, it looks like the invasion is very close.
Just a little theory: they might be waiting for most of the population to die from lack of food, water, and medical equipment, and the rest to join Hamas before the ground invasion. It wouldn't be a great look to go around killing civilians on the ground like they're doing in the West bank, but going around and freeing the area from Hamas terrorists? well, now we are talking.
Are Arabic countries racist? No. Transphopic? probably. Supporting slavery? IDK what hell hole you were in, but if it's actual slavery, then I've never visited that part of the world before.
Based on the convoys you've taken and the other experiences you've had, it looks like you check if the country has ongoing conflicts and if it does, you decide to go there. Have you paid Yemen or Syria a visit yet? I am sure you'll be blown away.
If you were Christian or Muslim and didn't want to be spit on and attacked for no reason, then your middle eastern country of choice changes drastically. The "only democracy in the middle east" is not the most secular country, nor is it the least racist one.
While the hospital disaster wouldn't have happened if not for the attack, the attack also wouldn't have happened if not for the blockades, terrorization of Palestinians, demolition of houses, and non stop settler violence everywhere even in the West Bank.
They stay exactly where they were and get treated as citizens with rights. Just like they were when Palestine was part of Syria, and after it became a British mandate for a while.
If they can steal resources and dig up water pipes to make rockets out of them, then they can organize an attack against some dumb pieces of shit, who moved troops from the border to terrorize people elsewhere.
People should remember that the side which can withstand bombardment, blockades and live off of minimal resources probably has decent leaders, and an angry population.
If you pay attention to the background of videos showing settlers murdering people in the streets, you'll spot that one cop always present to protect the settler from the unarmed civilians. Isn'trael is doing it's best.
