[News] Middle East conflict

[birthofanorange]

I've learned a lot from your posts (and the replies), facts and opinions alike. Please keep posting .

Have to agree, and although I confess to not grasping a lot of it, at least it encourages me ( and others) to try.
That's all most of us can do, tbh.

BBC reporting that a Doctor at the hospital has said there were 4000 people sheltering there as well as the patients, staff etc and 80% of the hospital has been destroyed.

Surely not I’ve always been told on here that anyone who writes for the DM is a clown

Chimpanzees and Shakespeare come to mind.

the latest news is just devastating. How can that sort of action ever be justified?

 

[sparkie]

Horrific.

Enough is enough.

So Israeli strikes are preventing Palestinians' entry into Egypt, and are hitting schools and hospitals, killing hundreds. Is anyone seriously still trying to pretend the Israeli government are the good guys?

Oh wait, the UK government. Fantastic.

Israel winning hearts and minds with hospital strike. Sadly you have to spell it out on here - Hamas are bastards; however cynical attacks like this do not help.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Examples?

Google and you will find it….i tend to look at these things on the run due to time constraints

I see this Zerbidi thread is still going.

Well Done.

Give it a rest that’s not necessary

Reports that a hospital has taken a direct hit in Gaza, talk of hundreds of fatalities....terrible times.

When Russia does the same in Ukraine it's classed as a War crime, why not Israel in Gaza?

In my eyes, it is.

 

[nicko31]

Israel knows where the hospitals are, they have world class precision weapons.

What excuse do they have ?

Of course it's a War Crime.

When Russia does this in Ukraine it is classified as a War Crime, nothing actually happens though then either. War Crime prosecutions usually only ever happen after major regime changes when the ex leader becomes expendable.

There is none, and I hope that those who previously completely defended Israel have no excuse either.

It is simply a tragedy which involves the killing of hundreds of innocent Palestinians - devastating.

Agreed, nothing 'happens', but it can still be classed as such....yes?

No one can pretend this is a new thing. The murder of innocent Palestinians has been going on for decades.

For anyone interested this is planned for Saturday in London

Yes, definitely. But as such, meaningless.

It means a lot to me.
