Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

I'm German, it's so depressing that our nation's stance on this will always be: We stand 100% behind Israel.

Discussions exist and it's being debated a lot on TV. People are pretty much appalled, with what Israel is doing.

Anyone, that feels the least amount of compassion towards other people, is not ok with this. Disregarding religion, nationality, race or whatever community they belong to. There's no way to justify this, no way at all.

Edit: 5000 dead and they haven't even sent in any troops yet.

Let this shit sink in.
