We know from WWII that bombing civilian centers kills a lot of innocent people. It's not like anyone should be surprised that Israel's relentless bombing campaign is murdering thousands.
Legal how? By their own decision? They've committed war crimes and violated military norms. Roughly 1,000 Israelis were killed in a cowardly attack by Hamas, so Israel is "justified" in murdering over 20,000 Palestinians who had nothing to do with the attack?
They've blocking aid. They're geared up to move in and build more settlements on stolen Palestinian land. The Israeli public is divided, but there's plenty of bloodthirsty soldiers sniping children and civilians foaming at the mouth to seize the land. There's no one holding these people accountable. The IDF lies with every breath and shields their people from justice.
Israel is no better than Russia (and probably worse).
Considering the fact that Israel has killed more journalists, more healthcare workers, more aid workers, and more children during this conflict than Russia has in Ukraine I would say it is definitely worse. The invasion of Ukraine is wrong, but Gaza has become the world capital of war crimes.
Just compare the civilian deaths: UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine has verified 30,457 civilian casualties since 24 February 2022, including 10,582 killed and 19,875 injured.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, thought the fact that they are not trustworthy is a different conversation than whether they are right on this one. They might be, it's just that you shouldn't take merely their word for it.
I think this is a good reminder that one should always check their sources tho
Or, y'know, instead of racing to post content from potentially questionable outlets, people could wait until it's confirmed by more reputable journalists. Or even just stop visiting questionable sites like this in the first place.
Yes. Only get your info from approved sources people. Heaven forbid you fact check anything yourselves
