The attack came a few hours after Israeli forces bombed a United Nations food distribution centre in southern Rafah city, killing at least five people including a member for the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA).
Can anyone imagine the reaction if China or Russia or Iran started dropping bombs on UN personnel on a daily basis? Fucking hypocrisy of (most) of the western world is nauseating.
They do? They shoot rockets into cities, and it just happens so that the air defense of the cities where UN personal is (Kyev) is very good and there are no UN personal close to the front, because whatever help is provided to civilians is done by Ukraine itself, without need of UN personal. But where the front passes everything is destroyed. The cities are literally erased to the degree with several orders of magnitude more destruction than what is happening in Gaza. The scale of destruction there is not even close to be in the same category.
UN bases in Gaza are Israel declared safe zones, not an active war zone. They just ignore that fact when it suits them and US happily defends them.
I would suggest checking the images of how Gaza looks now before posting this nonsense.
Gaza before/after: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/27/gaza-before-and-after-satellite-images-show-destruction-after-israeli-airstrikes

Israel hits Gaza Strip with the equivalent of two nuclear bombs
They are literally using 2000 pound bombs on Gaza, which I don't think even Russia uses. Their biggest was 1500 pounds, which Ukraine struggles to deal with.
Just for some comparison, on how brutal Israel is (it's to 165 now)
Portions of Gaza looks like that. The distraction of cities in Ukraine is nearly complete where the fighting was and the scale is much larger.
Another certified banger (horrifying warcrime) from the IDF!
