Warplanes strike Gaza refugee camp as Israel rejects US push for a pause in fighting

Palestinian health officials say Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens. Sunday's strike came as Israel vowed to press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite U.S. appeals for a pause in fighting to get aid to civilians.

Arafat Abu Mashaia, who lives in the camp, said the Israeli airstrike flattened several multi-story homes where people forced out of other parts of Gaza were sheltering.

“It was a true massacre,” he said early Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.”

I’m still wondering how people are able to defend Israel government’s actions with the phrase “defending themselves”.

This entire situation has nothing to do anymore with defending themselves.

I get it, you want to target Hamas. Understandable. But refugee camps, innocent civilians, journalists? On purpose.

And yet some people claim Israel isn’t the bad one here. Mind blowing.

US asking for an “pause” is also insanity. Pause on what - Killing civilians? Just ceasefire. Innocent people have nothing to do with the entire war.

Wasn’t there an article, where someone lost 36 family members due to Israel’s bombs.

There are no words for that, I genuinely feel so sorry for the person.

Yet here we are, all Presidents just staring at the result and doing nothing. Like that picture “can’t see, hear or say anything”.

This won’t stop Hamas from existing, this will just create an entire new group that will join Hamas eventually.

What happens to those that lost everything and everyone they cared for? They will probably join Hamas and seek revenge and they do not mind dying because inside, they already died with the ones they have lost.

smoof,

They're brainwashed and just regurgitates what they've been told. Like the guy that keeps copy and pasting the whole cry me a river essay in every post.

Or they're literal paid shills working in the name of nationalism and "diplomacy"

I don't know about that guy. There's soooo much weird stuff going on there. He uses such an odd mixture of words and lingo that it's like he's from 4 different countries sometimes. Always look at who upvotes him though. They certainly like what he has to say and they can't all be crazy.

smoof,

Nah, they crazy if they like what he has to say.

So we are still pretending this isn’t an ooen display of genocide we are just casually watching every day? If you’re Americam here. Call your reps today and tell them to pull all funding for this atrocity machine.

Silverseren,

An Associated Press reporter at a nearby hospital saw eight dead children, including a baby, who were brought in after the strike. A surviving child was led down the corridor, her clothes caked in dust, an expression of shock on her face.

In before IDF defenders claim the numbers are lies.

Israel has gone way too far and has no intention of stopping, and the US is sending more money/weapons to commit even more atrocity. When does the international community say enough is enough? What Hamas did is definitely inexcusable but, ignoring all happenings prior, Israel is the bad guy here. When the school bully gives you a black eye, the logical solution is not to burn their house down and murder their entire family.

Annoyed_Crabby,

I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.

Netanyahu: heh, don’t mind if i do.

Israel sure isn't doing Anthony Blinken any favors. That guy has to have ulcers on his ulcers by now. Maybe fuck him though?
