Merged Gaza just launched an unprovoked attack on Israel

[Politesse]

The latest victim of the onslaught was this guy, Omar Hayek, killed on his way out of the city to a satellite clinic. He was waiting at a bus stop. I sure it was a fucking terrorist bus stop. Murderers! This is the fourteenth killing of an MSF staff member since they began operations in Gaza. You'd be safer as a soldier than you are as a doctor when Israel is on the march, at least soldiers get body armor and are allowed to shoot back.

We have one MSF member documented as Hamas.

And note that Israel has called for the evacuation of Gaza City. Everyone there is either Hamas or a human shield.

You are writing heinous lies about a good man who was just brutally killed while risking his life to help others. It's not an "evacuation" when Israel is gunning people down as they try to flee. You should be ashamed to look at yourself in the mirror in the morning, typing filth like that. Or don't you?

What is left to evacuate to?

Dr Z is not paying attention to what each side is saying.

Trump hyped his p[proposal as an agreement. Israel would withdraw, Hamas would disarm, and Gaza would a be administered by an international group led by .... wiai for it. .. Trump.

I don't care what The Felon says.

Netiquette later said Israel will not withdraw. For the Palestinins no Palestinian state run by Palestinians is a non starter.

A state run by Hamas is a non-starter.

Meanwhile Israel continues to colonize he West Bank.

The war may have been triggered bin part by hostage taking, but it is not about the aesthetes.

It is about Israeli Zionism and controlling all land they think was Israel 2000 years ago. Netanyahu said pu8bhlcaly they have a right to the land and will do whatever is in their own interest.

The settlers are because Israel knows that they're irrelevant in the big picture and thus doesn't have the political will to stop them.

The only thing that will stop the war is the USA cutting off arms supplies. Not likely. Obama increased military aid followed by Biden and now Trump.

No, that will increase the death toll because they'll switch to cheaper, less precise weapons.

Israel walled of Gaza and the West Bank. The coast is blockaded.

But Israel doesn't control the border with Egypt. And blockade is perfectly legal in war--and the situation with Hamas has been quasi-war all along.

I do nit know why you have unqualified support for what Israel has done and is doing. All based in a 2000 year old claim Jews own the land.

Some seem to ignore what Netanyahu and his spokespersons actually say.

There was a olng running propaganda campaign to turn American Christians towrds Israel.

Long tunning commercials by the so called International Fellowship Of Christians And Jews Still running.

Mournful commercials of al aged starving old Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. Shameful pandering.

International law sees the settlements as illegal. But not according to Israeli law. Which is the law that Israel is following. Yes, normally I would side with international law. But in this case, since the world is so antisemetic, I don't think it can be applied here. Jordans claim to the west bank is so weak it's non-existant IMHO. You can't just invade other countries willy nilly and expect it to be affirmed by international law. But that's what happened in the west bank case. Made extra serious since Jordan ethnically cleansed the west bank of Jews, when they took it. It's bizarre that the court in the Hague just accepted that. When Israel took the west bank back, they did not give the stolen land back to the Jews that once owned it.

Gaza/West Bank should be a Palestinian state. But since Israel knows they gain nothing from stopping the settlements so they continue.

But by far most of the settlement is within areas already under Israeli control.

Should? Why should?

Israel is under constant threat from neighbours. Especially Palestinians. It hard to defend Israel against attacks from the west bank.

I think Israel learned its lesson. The west bank won't become an independent Palestinian country. Gaza, maybe.

Israel needs guarantees that Palestinians will be good neighbours, and I can't see that happening. Palestinians seems too hellbent on murdering all Jews
