Honestly disgusting how the media overlooks this. No idea what these children have ever done. Irrespective of what side you support this is genocide and this should not be tolerated.
"noooo these children voted for Hamas they deserve every bit of suffering they get"
Fucking assholes.
These children can’t have voted for hamas. The last election in Palestine was in 2006.
Well I'm sure they would if we would let them not starve until the next one. Ben and his psychotic entourage, probably.

This was the top story on NPR's up first podcast today. They didn't exactly blame Isreal directly, but they also didnt defend Israel and suggest this is somehow justified. They stuck pretty close to here is what is happening on the ground, here's voices of those affected, this is a humanitarian tragedy and will only get worse. They mentioned a woman in Gaza rationing milk for her baby due to the food shortage, that stuck with me. So I guess #notallmedia.
The coverage on the NYT The Daily podcast was spot on what I would expect from the outlet that cheared us into invading Iraq. Trash podcast, I don't know why I'm still subscribed. Should have dumped it after they spent a whole episode making a martyr out of the praying football coach.
NPR's coverage has been very good so far. They are trying their best to remain impartial in a difficult situation where there is a humanitarian crisis. I think it's the right thing to do. The media doesn't need to point fingers at Israel when they can just report the facts and people can see where the blame lies.
I'll second this. Every time they mention the Israeli casualty toll, they mention the Palestinian right at the same time.
While interviewing someone about Israeli response, they took the time to raise the question about plans for Palestinian civilians (unfortunately the answer was "we must destroy Hamas", clearly indicating the civilians dying is perfectly fine by him).
Washington Post and Voxx have had a really good article as well, as well as a podcast about it on there today I learned show.

And those kids will grow up hateful and resentful of Israel, which will make it easy to mold them into the sort of people who commit the atrocities Hamas committed. Israel is creating their own future problem.
Yes. Even if Israel "eradicates" Hamas, the idea is still there, and with the trauma that these adults and children have gone through would probably take decades to heal, and even then many won't heal at all and become extremists.
Israel is creating their own future problem.
Which monsters like Netanyahu love. More excuse for genocide and conquest.

Who would have thought that cutting energy and infrastructure along with limiting food supplies would cause a humatrian crisis in a densely populated camp....
Just yesterday fake news said, Gaza residents deserve it and Israel has every right to do it.

We are so worried about AI destroying us, yet here we are bombing children on both sides. We are the problem.
The Palestinians I've met who moved to Canada, were surprised that I didn't have horns as a Jewish person. Some less funny stereotypes too but that one was.... surprising given the physical proximity of Gaza to Jewish settlements.
I've made some friends with people who came from there, and once they're comfortable with opening up, what they say about the education over there makes perfect sense as to why the hate continues.
When you're teaching kindergarten kids to stab or drive over Jews, not Israelis, Jews there's not much hope for you to NOT be a terrorist.
The UN needs to do a better job of deradicalizing the education system over there, how that happens is way beyond my understanding.
I'm not saying Israelis can't be assholes, but I'm absolutely positive they're not teaching that hate in their education system.
