Gotta love how they told people to go south then bombed them there, as well as hospitals. And they can just say every target, no matter how many civilians die, was a "Hamas target" and it's "Hamas' responsibility to protect civilians" while they indiscriminately bomb these civilians.

Crazy that more people aren't speaking up against this.

They told people to evacuate and then bombed the evacuation routes.

Israeli spokespersons keep saying they're fighting Nazis, but I only see Nazis on their side of this.

Once Palestinians starteing evacuating North Gaza, Israel bombed the humanitarian corridor that they'd declared as safe.

Russia did the same to Ukrainians last year and EU & NATO & UN supported Ukraine. Now they support Israel.

I swear to God, I can’t name another country that takes such little criticism ever in the MSM other than Israel.

A fucking hospital ffs.

For many it's the sunk cost fallacy.

They've rhetorically, unreservedly supported Israel for half a century, and they will not be reexamining those intransigent beliefs today, thank you very much.
