The strikes hit around Kuwait Hospital early Monday morning, an Associated Press journalist in Rafah said. Some of those wounded in the strikes had been brought to the hospital.

Some of. The death toll stands at over 28,000 dead Palestinians at the hands of Israeli terrorism.

After corralling everyone south, they are now indiscriminately bombing there as well, expect to see the death toll surpass 30,000 within the next 24 hours.

Not to mention the 67,000 injured, and the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding due to lack of access to housing and aid from groups like the UNWRA.

So the casualties will probably surpass 100,000 by this time next week.

Israel must be stopped.

The death toll stands at over 28,000 dead Palestinians at the hands of Israeli terrorism.

How are we defining terrorism? If it just means any killing we don't like, then it's just noise - we can drop it as a word and just say murder. If it means using fear as a weapon, it doesn't fit here - Israel is intent on violence for violent ends, not achieving victory through fear.

The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

By that definition at least I'd say it fits Israel's actions.

That does not mean they are not also guilty of other acts, but terrorism is a tactic they employ to keep the citizens of Palestine oppressed and enacting political goals such as the continuation of Hamas (as well as directly funding them) which helps them muster internal support for campaigns of colonialism and genocide.

Israels crimes are multi-faceted, terrorism is but one of them.

"Don't genocide! Stop genocide now, and I will give you our genocide funding!"

"Btw. our patrons support your genocide, and so we are labeling any peace calls as antisemitism."

Netanyahu must be laughing about the situation.

Strike Israel imho

"warns"

It's not a warning if there aren't consequences. That's just whining.

*virtue signaling — the US is happy to make money arming Israel, and are accessories in the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Heard our funding described as “chuck e cheese tokens for Raytheon” yesterday and can’t stop thinking about it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 10 months ago

It's not just money, Israel is our unsinkable aircraft carrier. Not just accessories to genocide! Active participants by cutting UNRWA funding.

Israeli strikes hit Rafah after Biden ~~warns Netanyahu to have 'credible' plan to protect civilians~~ tries to give israel 17 billion dollars to continue their genocide

[–] Etterra 9 points 10 months ago

They don't want to protect the civilians. What part of that has nobody figured out yet?

Netanyahu tells his pet to shut up and sell him more weapons.

~~Fuck Israel.~~

Sorry. I'd already commented yesterday. There's so many articles about this genocide that I can't keep them straight. Apologies.
