Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has warned Israel that the Middle East could spiral out of control if it does not stop strikes on Gaza.
He said the US was also “to blame” for providing military support to Israel.
Hours later, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned troops his people were in a battle for their lives and said the war against Hamas was “do or die”.
One terrorist attack doesn’t equal a siege. Cutting off supplies and blockading a territory is a siege. Palestinians have been under some for decades now.
you’re saying palestinians have been denied supplies and have been in a blockade for decades? are you aware that an actually besieged population resorts to cannibalism within a month’s time?
When was the last time a Gaza citizen could leave the region without the permission of the Israeli government? Just because the siege is done in a way to maximize good pr doesn’t make the siege non existent.
The overwhelming majority of available water is non potable and malnutrition is an epidemic there but they are still alive so I guess it’s not actually happening in your eyes.
Remember when the IDF murdered a bunch of activists for trying to sail in with food and medical supplies on a flotilla? Here’s some info on what happened:
“According to a UN report, all activist deaths were caused by gunshots, and “the circumstances of the killing of at least six of the passengers were in a manner consistent with an extra-legal, arbitrary and summary execution.””
This was in 2010 and the blockade hasn’t ceased to exist.
so you can’t leave then decide to fly on a bicycle to attack for the sake of pr, brilliant nobel peace prize flawless victory please continue
What are you referring to here? I think you mistyped.
Regardless. The average age of a person in Gaza is 18. The percentage of Hamas militants among the population is around 1%. Stop treating the people like a monolith. I know it makes it easy for people to justify atrocities but it’s intellectually lazy.
These are mostly children that are suffering, born into the iron grip of a fundamentalist regime with zero access education of any kind.
By all means keep justifying their collective abuse if you want. Just be more honest about what you advocate.
