UNICEF has declared Gaza to be the “world’s most dangerous place to be a child.”

United States diplomats once again held up a vote on a watered-down United Nations Security Council resolution on Wednesday aimed at bringing more aid and relief to civilians in the besieged Gaza Strip as reports of starvation, mass killings, and other war crimes allegedly committed by the Israeli military continue to pile up.

    If side A uses a human shield, and side B immediately kills that human without hesitation, side B has made a much more evil decision.

    Nothing justifies genocide. Period.

        Israel has killed at least 8000 children in two months through indiscriminate bombing and forcing doctors to abandon babies in incubation units so they starve and die alone and rot.

        Fuck the Israeli government. Israel has made itself a hotbed of terrorism.

        This is literally the same logic. Learn to think better. Stop justifying genocide.

          Israel has killed 20,000 civilians that Hamas is hiding behind.

          Hamas hides in civilians populations for a reason, and it sure as hell isn’t for fun.

          This isn’t a game, Hamas knows exactly what they are doing by having it’s militants spread out into these critical locations. They lose a few fighters, and gain international support.

          Eventually the pressure on Israel will be too much and they will be forced to back down.

          Then Hamas will build back up and kill another 1000 Israeli civilians in another attack. The cycle repeats.

          Hamas doesn’t give a shit about it’s own people. Israel is correct on that front. Hamas could be using their people to provide aid, they have food, water, and fuel they’ve accumulated and are still smuggling in. They aren’t sharing it because they want it to keep fighting instead. Hamas’ leaders don’t even live in Gaza, they’re in other countries pushing the pawns around on a chessboard and sacrificing other people’s lives.
