If concessions can not be made to save these lives even with the entire world watching, then I do not want to hear falsehoods about caring for human rights.

A good way to avoid that is to not illegally enter Israel and start firing rockets! Wake up!
Children shouldn’t be punished for the crimes of crazy men.
I agree, but pretending that doesnt happen in a literal warzone isnt realistic. Get the fuck away!
If a literal war broke out a couple neighborhoods from you, would you stay because all your shit was there, and keep your family with you, or take off and worry about the rest later, because anything is literally better and safer than being there? Common fucking sense. Somebody living in Gaza 1000% knew what was coming, that area has been fucked since before they were born.
Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.
And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.
Anything is safer than a warzone, and limited food and water is still better than being bombed. Has nothing to do with compassion, its reality.
And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn’t happen in a war zone.
Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?
Someone else committing war crimes does not make it okay for you to do war crimes.
Both Hamas and Israel are doing war crimes and should be punished for it.
There isn’t anywhere safe in Gaza right now.
Like what Hama’s did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn’t you?
We aren’t talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn’t ok?
There’s no separating the two. What happening in Gaza is a direct result of what THEY did to Israel. You don’t get to illegally cross a border, fire rockets, kill people, then cry when there’s retaliation. Not how any country on the planet works. Welcome to reality.
Your logic is fucking brutal my guy.
The logic of defending yourself against an invader firing rockets inside your country? OK! Good luck finding a country that tolerates that.
Maybe you aren’t aware, but Gaza is a prison. You can’t really leave it.
I’m very aware, and its a prison governed by Hamas. So when Hamas attacks Israel…
Civilian Palestinians did not do any of those things. Thise were the acts of Hamas, not Palestinian children.
What an absolute nightmare. Those poor people are caught in the middle of a conflict they can do nothing about. It’s horrific.
I find it both horrifying and nauseating at the same time. This makes me sad to be a human being.
This makes me sad to be a human being.
and wonder why you don’t see more
The answer is in the video. The media rarely shines a light on those groups.
Sometimes they do though. Remember the media response to the Turkey earthquakes? I remember heaps of international rescue teams getting the spotlight.
Wait until you realize how many species we’ve driven to extinction, and how many more we have yet to kill, before we kill ourselves due to runaway climate collapse. That’s the shit that makes me sad to be human.
Human beings are just about the worst thing to happen to this planet.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hospitals in Gaza are ceasing to function because they are running out of water and fuel for generators, while being overwhelmed by huge numbers of casualties and civilians seeking shelter from Israeli bombing.
No new fuel has been allowed into Gaza since the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel, starving hospital generators as well as the desalination and pumping plant essential to the water system.
Video posted on Tuesday showed the Indonesian hospital in north Gaza in total blackout after the generators failed, with the sole illumination from mobile phones.
Tanya Haj-Hassan, a Canadian-based paediatric intensive care and humanitarian doctor who helps run a western support network for Gaza health workers, said a third of hospitals in the territory had ceased to function.
Another member of the western support group, Omar Abdel-Mannan, a senior paediatric neurology resident at Great Ormond Street children’s hospital in London, said: “Doctors on the ground are using minimal anaesthesia so they can economise on it.”
Medical experts from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) visited hospitals in Gaza on Tuesday and confirmed the dire reports from doctors on the ground.

Holy fuck, Lemmy is being brigaded by the pro-israel trolls.

Don’t know if this thread was linked elsewhere but the shift in sentiment in newer posts are jarring
I don’t know where you get that from, all comments in this thread are critical of Israel…
Indian BJP spammers: “Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!”
Hamas really really fucked up this time.
You realize that this is the EXACT outcome they would have expected right? You think Hamas expected Israel to surrender to paragliders? This was what they WANTED to happen. Now the whole world is watching Israel losing their shit on civilians and their international support is crumbling all around them. Hamas doesn’t give a shit about the palestinian people, but they do care about getting Israel into a position to be openly attacked by its Arab neighbors without the US and Europe coming in to fight on their behalf. It looks like that plan is actually going pretty well.
Isreal has the most support it has had in decades. They have widespread support to remove Hamas, or at least seriously damage Hamas, from most of their allies.
The US and Canada are both backing off. Who is coming to thier aid?
The U.S. is about to dump billions in military aid for Isreal.
Here’s France:
Amid fears the fighting to spiral into a wider regional war, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and told top Israeli officials that he came “to express our support and solidarity and share your pain” as well as to assure Israel it is “not left alone in the war against terrorism.”
Support from the US has literally never been higher lmao
You, my friend, are stuck in a bubble if you think this.
“Stop making me murder you!”
Further proof Hamas terrorists hate Gazan Palestinians as much as they hate everyone else.
*People are downvoting because they refuse to admit Hamas terrorists use Palestinians as shields only; without a care for civilian safety as a tool to protect themselves.
This is the thing. Palestinians aren’t treated as humans, but as tool or a weapon.
Even the countries that supposedly support Palestine, not a single of them offers to take refugees.
The truth is they hate Palestinians too (wrong Muslim sect) they just hate Jews a little bit more than them, but they have no problem if both kill each other.
WTF are you talking about?
Those countries don’t offer to take them in because they will not be let back after this is over.
The majority of Palestinians are sunni, and even if they weren’t, that never really mattered to any country besides Iran.
And the countries of the Levant are known for being very secular, unlike Isn’trael.
Again, treating them like tools.
If a country is accepting refugees it is assumed those people will live in your country. Those countries won’t accept them as refugees, because they hate them, and don’t really want to help, they want Israel to burn, and if it takes Palestinians with them “even better”.
That’s the truth, about “supporting” Palestine by those Muslim countries.

What do you mean? The majority of palestinian are sunni muslim like the majority of arab countries and the vast majority of palestinian refugees outside of palestinian territory/israel are in the neighboring arab countries (albeit in horrible living conditions in refugee camps most of the time).
wrong Muslim sect
Where did you pick up that idea? Most Palestinians are Sunni just like their neighbours.
Sorry. I oversimplified it. The ethnicity (and racism) and also prior experience helping also matters.
Supposedly Egypt is also Suni, but not only they don’t want let refugees in, or even accept the Gaza strip. US had to negotiate with them to let humanitarian aid in.
Iran which looks like it had part behind this attack and supposedly are supporters of Palestinians, similarly won’t do anything to help.
Their sympathy with Palestine is only when western cameras are rolling.
It’s simple to see why no one wants Palestinian refugees. Last time countries accepted them they had a civil war on their hands. This way everyone lets Israel take the blame and pretend not to notice.
wrong Muslim sect
There’s a bit of that but only as far as Lebanon is concerned, because Hezbollah is Shia and Palestinian Muslims (and especially Hamas) are mostly Sunni and there will likely be a fight for power between Hezbollah and Hamas if the latter ever infiltrate Lebanon, because for the past 13 centuries there has never been peace on the same soil between Shia and Sunni armed groups, which is why Lebanon is not opening its doors to Palestinians.
With regards to Egypt, sect isn’t really the issue as both are Sunni. However, the military that is ruling Egypt has a very rough history with the Muslim Brotherhood (which was very violent back then, almost nothing to do with Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood) from which Hamas was born, so they likely don’t want Hamas terrorists infiltrating Egypt either.
So neither Egypt nor Lebanon want Palestinians as they’re placing their security and more importantly their political interests above Palestinian lives.
even if that was true, the other side could just stop hitting the shield all the time and do precise targeting.
It’s true.
“Stop making me murder you!”
Hamas hasn’t yet released the fuel they’ve been hoarding?
Have they been hoarding it in the hospital?
You know all about their fuel stocks? You must work for the CIA or something.

Yeah, why don’t the Palestinians give up and just accept being ethnically cleansed? I mean, they’re Arabs why don’t they just move in with the other Arabs, they’re all one big homogeneous group, right?
Somewhat ironically, the biggest impediment is Hamas mission to genocide the Jews.

And if they are not let back in who will hold Israel accountable? Many of the people being bombed refuse to leave their homes for this very reason (as well as the south getting targeted by bombs/no shelter/no supplies either way so might as well keep whatever semblance of dignity they have left). They don’t trust Israel to allow them to return home due to historical precedent.
Those who don’t want to leave can stay, others shouldn’t be forced to become meat shields in a war they didn’t want.
Removed by mod
Tell that to the people that refuse to leave their house due to what I previously described. The last election in Gaza was in 2006. The average resident of Gaza was about 1 year old at the time. This conflict did not start yesterday. The Gazan population does not trust the international community to protect their right to return and they sure don’t trust the Israelis.

You can’t carpet bomb civilians then blame a country for not accepting 2 million refugees. Leveling the sector with air strikes is not a requirement.
Right now, civilians don’t have a choice to leave the warzone. That’s intentional thaks to
Hamas, Netanyahu,Egypt, Jordan, etc.Ftfy
Because they shouldn’t have to leave their homes.

It would be mathematically impossible for them to have elected Hamas since 50% of them are 18 and younger, and the last election was held over 17 years ago.
And the reason the last election was held so long ago was that after Hamas won elections in Gaza, the west supported a coup that failed and entrenched Hamas in power.

You do realize this is advocating for genocide - the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group.

It’s 2.2 million people. It’s a logistical nightmare. Any country/countries that take them in will have a drain on their resources. They will need aid. Or, just spitballing here, Israel could just stop.
If it was any other country your argument would be substantive. But we are talking about Israel and Palestine. Anyone who leaves will not be able to return. That’s how it’s always been. And for the Palestinians, their land is their existence. They will not give it up. They know the second they leave, it’s been lost.

Funny thing - Israel did exactly what you’re suggesting. They told Gazans to flee to Egypt via the Rafah Crossing, then Israel bombed the Rafah Crossing.
Civilians taking refuge away from a warzone is how the Jewish Diaspora began.

At least I’m not arguing in favor of the warzone.
@rivermonster most of them are not vocal about it right now. Many of them have normalised relations with Israel in the last few years.
They also hold the belief that allowing Israel to chase all the Palestinians out of Palestine and grab the land would be the end of the Two State Solution, turning the latter into permanent refugees.
In practical terms given Israel’s blockades the only country in a position to take them is Egypt.
-
Egypt already hosts 9 million refugees, taking another 2 million would be politically unpopular with voters.
-
Egypt is also afraid of ending up in a border war with Israel (which would happen if any of the new refugees attacked Israel).
-
Egypt also wants the Two State Solution

@rivermonster I always wonder whether people who want “Arab nations” to take in more refugees are also petitioning their own representatives to take in more themselves.
Pretty much all the biggest refugee-hosting nations are poorer nations.
Nevertheless, this article might give you food for thought: The Growing Significance Of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Non-recognition of Israel.

@rivermonster yeah that’s getting really bad lately.
I’m in New Zealand and I want more refugees from everywhere, including Palestine. It’s frustrating.
Turns out Children of Men is the most prophetic sci fi.Removed by mod
@rivermonster to be fair to the US it didn’t actually sign the UN convention on refugees that the rest of the West signed. But I still share your frustration.
I wish we could all work together on this stuff. Instead we have had some shining examples recently of how countries who do take people from warzones get left to take a huge hit, like poor Bangladesh struggling alone to administer Coxs Bazar (the biggest refugee camp in the world, now home to the Rohingya), or the Kurds who bizarrely were left trying to feed and shelter surrendered ISIS fighters from all over the world.
Realistically a governments first responsibility before anything else is the physical safety of it’s citizenship.
If you know a percentage of a population are religious extremists which will never integrate into your society and will probably pose a risk, then how can you, as a government, take them in?
It’s a hard sell any way you slice it.

If that’s the attitude of everyone the whole world will be colonized and subjugated by imperialists. There will be a point where you cannot run anymore. Let me ask you a question, what would you do if this happened to you?
Jordan won’t take them because the Palestinians assassinated their king, created a civil war in Jordan, and tried to assassinate their next king.
Lebanon won’t take them because they keep joining Hezbollah.
Egypt won’t take them because they keep joining up with Muslim Brotherhood and trying to destabilize the government.
Syria won’t take them because they’re in the middle of a civil war.
Iran won’t take them because they’re more useful as a tool to destabilize Israel.Am I missing anyone?
Because then they risk becoming the target of what Israel buys with the 50 billion dollars Joe Biden just sent to them.
Edit: if to of
Blame the world’s leader and the people that think they should be supporting them.
Take matters into your own hands. Change is now if you make the change. Live for reality and not tradition. Bring on the war.
Imagine saying this shit when powerless children are being butchered by israeli bombs…
