It was a Hamas ambulance... The dozen kids at killed in the area? Hamas. The hospitals we bombed? Believe it or not, Hamas. We're the victims here - look at the number of ~~Palestinian kids~~ Hamas combatants we've been forced to kill in ~~a transparently genocidal land-grab~~ self-defence.
-Israel ~~probably~~.
Strike the designated refugee camp and the emergency responders responding to the strike? Believe it or not, also hamas
"They were coming right for us!"
Hamas whenever it's convenient.
I am genuinely wondering how many Hamas they have managed to kill.
Let's run the high-level numbers then...
So far, they've killed ~11k people
The population of the West Bank and Gaza strip is ~5m people.
There's 20-25k Hamas members.
~45% of the Palestinian population is children.
So far, Israel have killed ~0.22% of the Palestinian population, which would suggest about 55 Hamas fighters and about 5,000 children.
Oh. Oh dear.
...but do you condemn Hamas?
The global media coverage of this is arguably assisting a genocide.
LMAO so true.
Jesus fucking Christ, Israel. Can you try to at least not hit non-combatants?
You mean, can you not try to hit non-conbatants?
They are aiming for them at this point
At this moment you get the impression Israel pushed specificity so Hamas would attack, giving them casus belli to wipe Gaza out. You're expecting Israel to claim they found WMD in Gaza any moment now.
Personally, I feel someone paid Hamas a lot of money to do this, tricking them into thinking they would have support after the attack. Then remove support, let Israel commit genocide with Bidens approval, give ammo to Trump and republicans for 2024.
Any Democrat or GOP president would have done this because the US likes that grasp on the middle east. If Israel were to come out from under their thumb they'd lose political control.
This is a super conspiracy of course, but I wouldn't put it beyond someone like Putin or Xi
Terrorists do what terrorists do.
Israel, and it's supporters, will say that Hamas was hiding in the abulences. all of the literal children were all terriosts and that being bombed is proof enough they were Hamas. I mean... WHY ELSE DIDN'T THEY MOVE LIKE WE TOLD THEM TOO?!?
It's disgusting BS.
They don't see them as non-combatants. At this point they are just categorizing anyone simply being in Gaza as part of Hamas.
"If they weren't Hamas, they would have been in the south... where we totally aren't bombing as well"
we totally will also let them back in the north later
After the Holocaust some worked to make sure it never happened again, but some just took good notes.
At this stage you would have to think anyone still supporting this genocide are sick to their very soul.
Hamas was hiding under the ambulances.
Actually, inside of them. That's a war crime.
Evidence?
Hamas WAS the ambulance bro, 4 for tires, 3 for the engine, about 18 spray painted for the outside, and 1 to make engine noises
Most creative thing I've read all day. Your words really brought the image to life. Thank you!
Fucking nazi scum.
So when is Israel bombing Geneva?
Indirectly through moral bankruptcy they already have.
