  • IDF reveals Hamas command posts in and beneath Gaza hospital

    Jump

  • That's the thing

    Hamas is awful for putting military installations near civilian infrastructure, and the Israeli military is awful for bombing indiscriminately despite their advanced military tech and resources.

    We don't need to pick one or the other

  • Hamas senior official storms out of BBC interview after being pressed on civilian carnage inside Israel

    Jump

  • I agree with that Hamas needs to go, and with the general idea in this article, but we could use a better source for the story

    In what seems like the slightest of signs that the BBC has decided to veer away from its near-constant anti-Israeli narrative, it conducted an interview with [...]

  • Ah I think I misunderstood which part of the comment the /s was referring to, not sure why

    That's my bad, I guess I can't read

  • How about we don't bomb things based on ideology, even if the ideology is atheism...

    It's a bit ironic to call out the issues with organized religion, and then go "I'm ok with bombing the buildings of those I consider 'other' "

  • Open source intelligence suggests rocket was launched by Palestinian group, backing up Israel's claims

  • More than that, the focus is on a Leader and administration that is opposed by the majority of Israeli people

  • White House weighs $100 billion for Israel, Ukraine bill; plans in flux

  • Yes that's true, bad wording on my part when trying to talk about how much things should actually cost

    Gaza hospital bombed: Health Ministry says death toll in Gaza City hospital blast caused by Israel strike rises to at least 500

    Jump

  • This shouldn't be a controversial take either. Even WITHIN Israel, the majority of Israeli's want Netanyahu and his administration gone. There were massive protests over months over the years of corruption. There are criminal charges filed against him and his family. Right now after the attacks, there are widespread calls for his resignation and an investigation into why the response to the initial attacks were so bad.

    Given all that, it doesn't make sense for any world leader to continue to support his administration. Especially if countries are meant to be allies of the Israeli people.

    The US is complicit in Israel's campaign of genocide against children of Gaza

    Jump

  • What about now after thousands of people have been killed in bombings, is now a good time to call timeout or do we wait another round?

    A ceasefire goes both ways, and it stops more innocent people from dying on any side. This weird "oh they should be able to get some revenge" line is so fucking stupid and it's surprising that officials and news anchors are repeating it.

  • The US spends more than any other country on healthcare, on TOP of what individuals pay for things like insurance.

    The reason it all looks so expensive is because of how much money goes to shareholders and corporations. So yep, it could be a whole lot cheaper

  • Footage shows moments before and after Israeli airstrike hits civilian convoy fleeing Gaza – The Guardian

    Jump

  • I saw a comment saying that both Hamas and the Netanyahu administration need each other. It's the only way either stays in power

    Both aren't good for their own people, and both need to go before we can get peace in the region

  • Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack | CNN

    Jump

  • Edited to add a word

    We'll likely know what happened with time and proper investigation and while I hope for justice, I agree that there's a precedent of that not happening.

  • Overloaded Gaza hospitals short of power, fuel, medicine; may be forced to shut down

    Jump

  • Another aspect of this is when western media and politicians are hesitant to call out Netanyahu's administration right now, despite so many Israeli people wanting him gone and months of massive protests in the country.

    As for Ireland, they've actually long been different from other European counterparts about Israel/Palestine in both public opinion and government policy. The reasoning given is that they felt a shared sense of struggle against a powerful neighboring regime early on, and that helped them focus on the human rights aspects of the issue

  • The U.S. Is Giving Israel Permission for War Crimes

  • This isn't an endorsement for Trump or Republicans who aren't much better, and rather I wanted to add this since I don't think the other comment was focussed on the important bit.

    1986:

    Joe Biden says that Israel is the best 3 billion dollar investment the United States makes, and that if there were not an Israel, the US would have to invent a one to protect US interests in the region.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FYLNCcLfIkM

    Don't endorse the channel, don't know anything about the channel, I googled for the C-SPAN clip

    And a more modern example with a legitimate source:

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/10/26/remarks-by-president-biden-and-president-herzog-of-the-state-of-israel-before-bilateral-meeting/

    And I — I’ve often said, Mr. President, if there were — if there were not an Israel, we’d have to invent one

  • Isn't that the other side of the truck, which does have it?

    We do need more information to get proper justice, but in the meantime we also need things to quiet down so things don't just keep getting worse

  • Israeli official says government cannot confirm babies were beheaded in Hamas attack | CNN

    Jump

  • A lot of people are arguing over specifics of who said what, which random social media post included what, what might have happened, etc.

    The point that's being missed is that spreading unconfirmed information as fact is wrong, and it's not ok to use it to justify other atrocities.

    All the innocent people harmed in this conflict deserve justice, and that information will only come with time and proper investigation. There's no benefit in running with a report right off the bat, and we should be cautious about any leader / news agency doing that because there ARE groups here trying to take advantage of a crisis.

    This isn't specific to any side with this conflict, nor is it with this conflict in particular
