Meanwhile, from the a station on the eastern branch of the District Line:

Gilad Erdan, Ambassador of Israel to the UN, said in response to the resolution passing that “today is a day that will go down in infamy”.

There are no talks or discussions to be held with Hamas, he said, adding that Israel will not sit idly by to let them commit atrocities again. The resolution does not mention Hamas once, as if the war started on its own.

“What is going on here?” he asked, questioning whether the goal was to tie Israel’s hands. “The only way to destroy Hamas is to root them out. Why are you not holding Hamas accountable?”

“We know there is no humanitarian crisis in accordance with international humanitarian law,” he said, noting that every statistic comes from Hamas about information about Gaza.

Anyone interested in preventing violence should call on Hamas to lay down their arms, turn themselves in and return all hostages, he said.

“If this were to happen, the war would end immediately,” he said. “This is a dark day for the UN and mankind. Israel will defend itself and will do what must be done to eradicate Hamas’ capabilities and bring the hostages home.”

So, can anyone explain how it is possible to limit civilian casualties when assaulting a densely populated urban location in the dark?
You know just for posterity.

Most of the EU did, a few voted in favour too. I'd also imagine it was a bit of payback for how Israel talked much but offered very little when they were attacked.

Well from a tactical POV, there are fewer civilians/children on the street, gonna be hard to call proper targets with night vision on tho.........

Gut wrenching seeing the scenes in Gaza, unbelievable that the world leaders have stood by and let this happen, a genocide unfolding before our eyes

 

[Milkman]

Tons of protests up and down the country tomorrow, make sure to attend if you have the means

 

[magicjuan]

Reports now coming in Israel's ground offensive has started. Sounds about right after wiping out communications.
Can't imagine what the morning will bring now.
Strength to Gaza

No doubt Hamas have “hid weapons and rockets” under their noses. The classic excuse they give for blowing any building to kingdom come
