If Israel shut off the electricity into Gaza, how do they charge their cell phones?
Then stop doing it.
Israel is running into Gaza like a Fuze player on hostage gameplay, and wondering why the hostages keep getting in the way of the bombs. Either it is stupidity or maliciousness.
When it should be treating this like a gang or mafia that has infiltrated the population of Gaza and using them as unwilling participants.
People don't understand shit. Me included. In fact, me the example. However, people can empathize with human suffering.
People have eyes and can think, maybe Israel should stop bombing indiscriminately. Maybe Israel, should tone it down a bit?
Then Israel says stuff like "Yo dudes, we are going to wipe out Gaza and every civilian, man, woman, baby, child, dogs, cats, sheep, salt the earth."
It doesn't inspire any confidence you either don't know what you are talking about, or don't know that Israel has a completely different philosophy from what you are arguing.
I mean, but you're lying about indiscriminate bombing. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming that Israel is effectively warning people and striking valid military.
It is delusional to say as you have that the bombing is indiscriminate if they're literally calling people on the phone and telling them where the bombs are going to hit before they land. That's very discriminate.
The Rohygna were targeted indiscriminately. Myanmar had helicopter gunships strafing crowds of refugees, burning down whole villages without ever even pretending that there was a military target. Clearly war crimes.
It's not a mystery why the civilian casualties are so high. It's because Hamas is a terrorist organization that employees a strategy of martyrdom and voluntary and involuntary human shields specifically for the purpose of gaining international sympathy, and because Hamas dug tunnels under where most people live and then used them for decades to launch tens of thousands of rockets and finally on October 7 a massive border incursion and a campaign of actually indiscriminate mass shootings of Isreali civilians, on purpose, the tunnels must now be destroyed.
And that means that unfortunately whatever is above them is also likely going to be destroyed or at least rendered inhabitable from a structural engineering standpoint. Israel didn't put the tunnels there, that was also Hamas, and also part of their strategy of martyrdom and human shields.
Don't argue with me,argue with math.
Half of Gaza is gone
Israel dropped almost as many bombs in a week then the US did in a year in Afghanistan.
Israel almost dropped more bombs in a week, then the US did in a year. Do you know what a high bar that is? For a place like Gaza?
I'm not sure what relevance you think this is. Are there military targets or not? Are there warnings or not? The targets in Gaza are pretty much underground.
You've been warned about denying genocide before. 30 day ban.
