Imagine thinking in absolutes like a couple of people in here.
Possibly, however I don’t intend to get into anything further than reasonable discussion and passing on facts/figures in this thread as the topic of the thread is so deeply upsetting, emotionally charged, and so nuanced/multifaceted.

If me auntie was me uncle and lived in Gaza he'd be dead or something
Alarm as Israel again hits Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt
The third attack on the crossing's Palestinian side in the last 24 hours consisted of 'four missiles', reports say.
This is insane, bombing a civilian boarder crossing to prevent civilians escaping a conflict zone is literally a war crime.
“What it seems to me is that the measures taken, including the bombing of the Rafah crossing, hints to an intention to really starve and kill the people who are innocent inside the Gaza Strip,” UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese told Al Jazeera
Fwiw I’d recommend Al Jazeera’s coverage on this for people who want the news, they tend to do a more reasonable job of reporting the facts in an unbiased manner than most western news networks
Why do we keep getting told that Israel is at war with Hamas, not Palestine? More than a little disingenuous considering the indiscriminate response so far.

It's just a different bias. Keep in mind that they're an SOE of Qatar, in much the same way that the BBC answers to HRM's government for funding. There are limits to their editorial independence.Alarm as Israel again hits Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt

On the plus side, they are a testament to what funding can do for an outlet. They're often more on top of things than the Western for-profit outlets that have scaled their newsrooms and bureaus back over the years.

I think he feeds off this stuff unfortunately.
What I don't understand is the "unconditional support for Israel" that the US is throwing there. I get it, Israel has had massive atrocities being done as we speak. I just don't get how every other thing they've done in the recent days that might have been provoking to this point is being met with "unconditional support".
Shouldn't it literally just be a straightup ceasefire? Thousands of innocents are going to die for things they don't have any interest in making a stand on. The average human just wants to die in peace. They just want to go home, hang out with whatever/whomever and wake up the next morning. They don't want to get carpet bombed because some fuckwits decided to shoot up a festival.
I seriously just don't get how they don't see an eye for an eye isn't working for the last 80 years.
