Brazil is the "B" in "BRICS"

Israel also has large military contracts with the "I" and "C".

There will be pressure on Israel to ratchet down its offensive strikes, but once it all cools down and the Palestinians go back to their daily shitty life, the rest of the world will also go back to ignoring them. This is the sad, depressing nature of our world. Just look at Syria, 200,000 dead and they are still bombing people over there, with the world doing little to stop it.

Shocking news.

Oops, guess those tailfins weren't from Hamas/al-Quds mortar bombs after all...

Maj. Gen. Sami Turgeman: "Hamas leaders are hiding in hospitals in Gaza."

Time to bomb some hospitals.

It's scary to think about how the people feel. There's nowhere safe to evacuate. You live with the fear of death everywhere at any moment because it is happening everywhere.

When people say why do people talk more about Israel's wrongdoings over things like Syria, this is why. We are playing accessory in these actions. We are directly aiding in these atrocities.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

where the FUCK are they supposed to go?

nothing but PR bullshit. They don't care about anyone in there, as long as they can say "at least we warned them!111!!!"

It's about time someone stepped in.

Yep. I get that people don't want to see pictures of maimed and dismembered Palestinian kids, but these are our tax dollars at work. if we're just gonna sit here and do nothing to stop it, then we deserve to have the images foisted upon us and be permanently haunted by them. Also, IDF Massacre fans suddenly concerned about Syria oddly make no case that the 270,000 Palestinian refugees there be given the right of return.

 

[Piggus]

Hard for there to be an outcry when Americans sincerely believe Israel is in the right...

Thanks for the generalization, ass. It's not as one-sided as you think.

 

[TrojanBlade]

Hey you know we warned you ... yeah we know you can't go anywhere either tough luck...now its your fault for being a "human shield" for hamas

Fucking assholes

 

[Whitechocolatekrispies]

Actually it is.

The UN needs to move in, disarm Hamas, police the borders and guarantee Israel won't get showered with rockets or invaded by terrorists.

Then when Israel decides it wants to murder little palestinian babies in their sleep. Even I won't be defending them.

Well, previous leaflets were specific to which areas they were targeting...

To the residents of Al-atatra, Beit Lahyia and Beit Hanun,

The IDF does not wish to cause any harm to you or your relatives.

For your own safety you are requested to vacate your residence and head towards Gaza City through-Toam, Al-Falugah, Al-Audah, Al-Sacha, and Salah A-Din.

The assembling will be in the central Gaza city within the following borders: west of Salah A-din, north of Amer Al-Mahtar road, east of Al-nazzer road and south of Al-Quds road.

This fighting is temporary, and with its conclusion, everybody will be able to return to their homes.

Please obey the instructions given by the IDF, which is attempting to avoid causing harm to civilians.

IDF Headquarters

Write a letter to your local representative demanding the US put pressure on Israel to halt its operation. You do have a voice, even if you feel it may not be heard.

I'm going to say something very ugly here. In a few years the US will have no right to wonder why we receive such hate, why countries burn our flag, why anyone would want to attack us. I don't condone terrorism in any sense, but why the US thinks it is innocent in these affairs is beyond me.

 

[Linkhero1]

That's just PR. They've hit UN shelters for crying out loud. What makes you think people will be safe anywhere else?

Got to be kidding me. Why give the IDF unguided mortar rounds? Doesn't that just increase the chance of killing civilians?

[Chumly]

Not to mention these people conveniently forget that Israel is treated nothing like Syria. Syria gets no aid, cut off diplomatic relations, cut off economic relations, plus at times the rebels have been given aid although that has dried up due to a variety of factors. Until Israel can say that they are in the same boat as Syria and were still complaining "too much" about Israel then they might have a point.

 

[Linkhero1]

What do you mean? you mean the leaflets in that picture are blank?

You know what I mean.

"OBTW we might bomb those places as well if our 'intel' points toward Hamas presence there, so watch your step and look up often!"

Um... we were well past that point almost 5 decades ago. Have you not read up on the history of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and many other countries?

End the occupation, pay reparations, give back what isn't yours. if Hamas fires another rocket after that, *I* will join the IDF.

 

[Kurdel]

"OBTW we might bomb those places as well if our 'intel' points toward Hamas presence there, so watch your step and look up often!"

No, those leaflets is when they have intel for a specific Hamas target in a densely populated area and don't want civilian casualties.

 

[Toxi]

God, I can't stop thinking about the fear you must go through to live in Gaza when you know there is nowhere safe and it's dumb luck whether you get hit or your neighbor does. I honestly expect most of the population to have PTSD.

Got to be kidding me. Why give the IDF unguided mortar rounds? Doesn't that just increase the chance of killing civilians?

Mortars are precisely aimed weapons, so it's not like they're blind.

Still depressing.

 

[TheRealTalker]

they never warned people when they where bombing UN safe zones

you know the ONLY place left to go since they are just levelling neighbourhoods one by one

 

[AlexMogil]

Oh, I know. I know. We're just perpetuating it.

It's one of those things you don't want to believe, you know? I know, head in the sand, all that.

 

[Kurdel]

My post is to show their leaflets is a legit and clear warning to which area will be targeted.

People here dismissing the leaflets don't realize that they are the best tool to avoid civilian casualties, when possible.

okay tell me where do they go to avoid such causality

Edit: Also you got to run pretty fast since you only got 5 minutes

[Nikodemos]

Given that so far the Israelis have been killing about 5 civilians for every 2 Hamas fighters, they're either doing a really piss poor job at prevention, or they don't actually give a shit despite their statements.

From Times of Israel: 3 IDF soldiers killed in booby-trapped UNRWA clinic

Three IDF soldiers were killed on Wednesday in Gaza in an explosion at a booby-trapped UNRWA health clinic that housed the opening of a tunnel, the IDF’s Gaza Division commander, Brig. Gen. Micky Edelstein, said.

The clinic had apparently been abandoned by its UN personnel. UNRWA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The three soldiers, members of the elite Maglan unit, were taking precautionary measures in efforts to limit damage to the structure before eliminating the tunnel, when the explosives detonated in the small building.

Yeah, I just mean that they just recently released that footage of one of their mortars hitting that empty playground. That didn't exactly strike trust in the precision unless they intended to bomb an empty playground

So you're giving Israel the benefit of the doubt even though the UN said they told Israel multiple times about the UN school and the refugees inside it? You honestly think Israel gives a shit about where they bomb regardless of what their poxy leaflets say? They bomb where they like, even if people can evacuate in time doesn't mean they're safe from further bombing elswhere.


The tall and short of it is, Israel shouldn't be bombing the fuck out of civilians regardless of any kind of warning. What they are doing is a plain massacre and war crime.

 

[Kurdel]

okay tell me where do they go to avoid such causality

In this case (17th of july), they even had a map for people who don't know their neighbourhood. I guess UN shelters, or parks outside the affect area for the affected time.

My point is the leaflets mean jack shit if they're bombing UN shelters. You know, the places civilians who leave their homes go to.

If the leaflet saves, life I think it's worth it.

It odes not wash Israel's hands though, if that is that you think my opinion is.

They don't always do leaflets, but they should.

I was responding to the legitimacy of the leaflets, and cited the July 17th as an example that the affected area for that working was realistically evocable. Try reading my posts a bit before spouting nonsense.

 

[Toxi]

There is no place left to go.

This is terror. There is nothing certain, nowhere safe, because even though "only" a bit over a thousand have died, they died in every place imaginable with no repercussions. Nobody is safe, not man, woman, or child. Now there is no power and the people of Gaza sleep in the dark with the constant sound of drones flying low overhead.

Israel is addicted to slaughter, and we (the US) are their dealer.

because that is clearly safe and where not bombed just these few days ago


Edit: Run to your parks in 5 mins without any sleeping material... stay the night... then get bombed either way


It is like winning the lottery except the grand prize is maintaining your life

 

[Nikodemos]

No, they aren't. They need to be zeroed in. The process involves lobbing a few bombs at some locations until all of them fall on the spot you want. See "fire for effect".

It's just business.

And business is good.

there were story about ppl who moved to the place the idf told them to go.... in which bomb dropped there... dose anyone have the link?

do you think they give out leaflets for those "safe" locations

A) If so where do they go now?

B) If not is the bombing justified?

So if you were Hamas, you would tell people to stay in their homes because Israel is lying to you?
