Israel is doing its best to make Hamas look like saints.

Giving religious zealots martyrs is never a bright idea.

Thomas White, Gaza director for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said he has traveled “the length and breadth of Gaza in the last few weeks” and called it a “scene of death and destruction,” according to The Associated Press.

I'm sure he's just being dramatic

Israel government & military officials need to be taken out.

Seems unproductive in light of the current retribution attacks. Full support to the citizens of Israel to rise up and take back their country from fascists though. Can't say I'm entirely so pigheaded (as users say this about the Gazans) that I believe that a lack of ability to do so makes them complicit in these genocidal war crimes. Many of us are trapped in these comfortable cages. Heard it best from a political prisoner, who had gone in young and came out old, when he said "I know what the inside of a prison looks like and out here everywhere is minimum security."

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The United Nations (U.N.) condemned a recent attack by Israel on a convoy of ambulances leaving a Gaza hospital.

“I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital,” Antonio Guterres posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes,” Guterres continued.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), who claimed responsibility for the strike, countered, saying it killed “a number of Hamas terrorist operatives.”

Guterres’s comments follow warnings from fellow U.N. officials about a dire humanitarian situation in Gaza amid a conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Israeli air campaigns and a recent ground offensive in response have more than 9,200 Palestinians dead, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry.
