This is exactly out of Israel's playbook as well though, they attacked the very same hospital just within the week. "Restraint" towards Gaza? Last I heard there were over 6000 strikes launched by Israel, leveling whole villages, killing entire families. Over 2000 people killed inside Palestine after the first night of retaliation by Israel, striking numerous apartment blocks, hospitals and schools. I doubt anything will change your mind about the righteousness of Israel but I just want to point this out in case anyone thinks you have a good point.

If the inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto escaped and murdered German citizens living around the ghetto, would you be pointing out this crime or would you think it more relevant to discuss the crimes of the Nazis in power, still going on? Israel has been doing this for decades. Even just the night after the attack by Hamas, Israeli airstrikes killed over 300 children.

If anyone has love for Jewish people, for any people, they should condemn Israel. You are wrong. This attitude has helped allow the slaughter of thousands of innocent people over decades. To condemn Israel is to have humanity. To support the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom is to support justice. I love Jewish people, I've studied the Holocaust, I've spent massive time studying Nazism, modern movements and the history. The actions of the Israeli government and the IDF must be stopped by all means necessary.

That's the point, CNN has been upholding Israeli terror for decades. Around 2005 a person I knew in Palestine mailed me a bumper sticker that says "CNN LIES", they've only gotten worse since then.

The difference is Israel still exists, holding Palestine back, it's not even about reparations but stopping the actions on-going today, not just about righting wrongs from the past.

I was with them until that comment. Israeli people might want that, but the action of the Israeli government has been the opposite. Funny they say 'stop being so one-sided' and say Israel wants peaceful rulers, like Palestinians don't want that also.

This is a great win for everyone, the owl is free from the zoo imprisonment and he's helping balance out the rats. Oh my god, I just realized, on Futurama aren't there problems with swarms of owls in the city? This is the start, they take out the rats and take their place.

Small detail some might miss, one of the editorial board signatures is Ted Kaczynski.

Brilliant paragraph:

“What of the tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians killed before this attack?” some may ask. Our response is simply that we aren’t going to engage with that because it would be too hard. We also won’t be addressing Palestinians living in refugee camps without access to clean water, electricity, or housing. Others may ask, “Isn’t it your responsibility to provide context, particularly on thorny issues such as this one?” To that, we merely say: No, shut up. You’re being annoying.

Couldn't this easily have been made up? It's a war, and one of the sides is saying "look at this proof we took off a body at how evil our enemy is, no there is no other proof, just this map we found." Propaganda is a key tool in war, especially during initial stages.

Zionists have already said about hostages being killed: "You trust Hamas that they weren't already killed? They were dead as soon as they were captured." So I would guess that any captives in Palestine do not have a good chance of being returned.

If I was about to paraglide into Israel, I would definitely assume I was going to become a martyr from an anti-air missile. It makes a lot of sense why some people think Israel let the incursion happen.
