No place is safe. Israel has intensified attacks including in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
On Friday, the United Nations Office for Human Rights (OHCHR) warned that Israel's "collective punishment of the entire Gaza population" constitutes a war crime that must be immediately stopped.
"For nearly three weeks, Palestinian civilians have endured relentless Israeli airstrikes by air, land, and sea; thousands of them have perished, some amidst the ruins of destroyed homes, mosques, or bakeries," OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said, and revealed that the families of two organization workers had perished in the attacks.
"We have received harrowing accounts of parents writing their children's names on their arms to identify the bodies in the future," she emphasized, adding that 57 UN workers have lost their lives in the hostilities that began on October 7.
The spokesperson for the office led by Volker Türk also deemed Israel's forced displacement of hundreds of thousands of Gazans, through evacuation orders, a war crime. This comes at a time when "no place is safe" in Gaza.
I really don't get the 9/11 reference. I hear people crying that everyone they know has a family member being taken hostage. Then they explain how small Israel is (9million people) and how 1400 deaths + 200 hostages is a huge blow to them.
Then I see 7000 dead Palestinians, and hold on, they have a population of 2.3 million?
So who does the math here or am I going crazy thinking the Palestinians have lost more civilians in this war?
It doesn't matter really, one person killed is an entire world being killed.
Ceasefire and release the hostages and free Palestine and Israeli's by the 2 state solution.
Oh and lock up Hamas and Netanyahu and his cronies for war crimes.
You might say Israel is implementing a final solution to their problem...
Oh how the turntables.
That's how you imagine yourself as. Realistically it just feels like a mask has slipped of your face and a lot of people in the world realised you aren't the oppressed anymore.
Yes, you're an occupying, child-killing, war-crime-comitting illegal state.
You care about human lives? Tell that to the thousands of dead women and children.
