    …I assume Israel are only bombing valid military targets and not pulling a Russia and targeting civilians, apartment blocks etc, instead, so how could this happen? UN staff shouldn’t be anywhere near Gaza military outposts right now, it’s clearly not safe at those locations.

    That lot that went over the wire into Israel and did a bunch of evil stuff to civilians over there are unforgivable (it would have been an entirely different story if they themselves had only gone for valid military targets), but if Israel intentionally targets civilians, with weapons, or by cutting off their access to food, clean water, electricity etc, in order to make women and children suffer and die… that makes them just as evil.

    Madness over there on both sides honestly, madness. It’s the civilians on both sides who just want to live their lives in peace but who are being made to suffer greatly that I feel for.

    And at its heart over religion of all things! One would think their religions promote kinship with other humans, love and understanding of different viewpoints, turning the other cheek, all that stuff I’m told is in the Christian Bible for example. Are their religions based instead on violence and hatred, or are they just ignoring their religions teachings, and just using them as an excuse to fight?

    Sigh… Madness. All of it. Pointless madness.

      By Wednesday, several neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip had been demolished after the Israeli military pounded the area with air strikes.

      Touma told the AP the U.N. staff members were killed in their homes across the Gaza Strip. She said the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City and many schools-turned-shelters were damaged as well.

      When their precision is currently at “hitting the targeted neighbourhood”.

      Israel isn’t just bombing military targets. Entire districs have been levelled.

      Well, you assume semi-wrongly there.

      Israel bombs every place the Hamas is using. The problem is, the Hamas is regularly using civilian buildings. And Israel doesn’t care at best or at worst is using this to have a real excuse for it.

      Well, if you assumed it then you must be right.

      Your assumption is wrong. They’ve been killing civillians for decades now. It’s not me saying it, it’s the UN and any other human rights organization out there.

      You can tell it’s Israel because of the passive voice. Just like when a teenager “dies in cop involved shooting”.
