“Israel has the right to defend itself, but this response must respect international law,” he continued. “We must urgently stop the humanitarian catastrophe.”

Sanchez, who was making the trip with his Belgian counterpart, Alexander de Croo, also set out Spain’s position on the conflict, which includes a two-state solution, the recognition of Palestine, and a peace conference.

    We still don’t know the actual casualty figures. All we have is information from the Hamas terrorist group.

      The casualty figures provided by Gaza’s medical institutions are generally agreed to be considered trustworthy because they’ve been consistently confirmed afterwards, by organizations such as the WHO, across the years. I understand distrust of Hamas, but these figures come from medical professionals, who generally just want to do their job regardless of the political figures they have to answer to.

      Personally, I’m more worried about the potential mortal victims of the internal displacement due to the shitshow of forcing over half a million people to leave their homes to refugee camps that have serious difficulties to receive supplies, which might currently not be properly reported due to the lack of organization.

        The trouble is, they say whatever Hamas tells them to say. Information coming out is going through a terrorist group’s filter. International governments aren’t allowed to monitor what’s happening inside.

          What the hell are you talking about? There are a multitude of journalists and international observers, risking their lives and dying to be there covering the facts and verifying.

            There isn’t. Nobody on the outside knows what exactly the Hamas terrorists are up to.

            6 weeks ago those “highly reliable” Hamas sources were beheading babies and raping their mothers.

              Ah, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but you were seriously trying to claim that the Ministry of Health members are the same as Hamas.

                No. I am stating that Hamas terrorists control what they say.

                  And yet every major organization and multiple governments, including the US, consider their numbers reliable. So they clearly don’t think Hamas controls what the Ministry of Health says.

      Spain is sending aid to country that is defending itself against an agresor.

      What the fuck is up with the comments in this post?

          In WW2 the US shouldn’t have sent any aid to the Soviets because this just lengthened the war, they should’ve pushed both sides towards a peace treaty

              Sure, it would’ve just killed a few more million soldiers and civilians at minimum, who cares about lives anyways.

              Nobody needs

              over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386[56] of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans);[57] 11,400 aircraft (of which 4,719 were Bell P-39 Airacobras, 3,414 were Douglas A-20 Havocs and 2,397 were Bell P-63 Kingcobras)[58] and 1.75 million tons of food.[59]

              in a war.

              Also you failed to address the point: Was lend lease immoral because it “prolonged” the war?

                  Hm, maybe you happen to be shortsighted. Don’t worry, Markdown can help with that:

                  WAS LEND LEASE IMMORAL BECAUSE IT WAS AID AND ANY AID “PROLONGED” WW2?

                  Hot take bud, we lost less in general yes but without us industry the outcome likely would have went different.

              Correct. The effects of the lend lease program is way overstated by butthurt westerners who want to believe they won WWII
