"No matter what Hamas did, it does not justify the incredible use of lethal force without distinction and without proportionality as far as the Palestinian population is concerned in Gaza,” says Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff, recently retired European Union ambassador to Palestine, adding that “Israel must adhere to international law and protect civilians.”

    Ah so mandating civilians to leave a combat zone is bad…? Pretty idiotic statement.

    The only people profiting from the civilians staying is the militants, so its kinda obvious who attacked them, as there have been several reports of them attacking civilians…

    Israel isn’t making anything worse, Israel just has to act accordingly after the government of Palestinia (Hamas) startet a war by killing hundreds of civilians, launched thousands of rockets into citys and abducted (raped and killed) hundreds. Welcome to reality, this is a war now, there will be suffering, there will be death, there is no other way anymore.

      Well, there are the elderly, sick, and injured that risk negative outcomes just from being forced to move. Even more risk because of being forced on a short time frame with all of the other terrible conditions.

      I guess if you ignore the entire ongoing conflict and just start with last weekend then sure, Hamas started a war right now and we can ignore everything Isreal contributed to the current situation including Isreal mandating an unrealistic evacuation time frame for millions of people while also cutting off their water and power.

      It is far more complicated than ‘it is war now, lol’ that you are spouting.

        Several days aren’t a short time to leave such a tiny area.

        Its far more complicated than its war, yes, but not that far. And stop blaming Israel on stuff Hamas is the reason for. You are literally siding with people that behead babies, rape woman and commit terrorist attacks.

        If you cant comprehend whats going on that’s not my fault.

          I am taking the side of Palestinian civilians, you are equating them with Hamas. Hamas is terrible and should be destroyed for what they have done, but how Israel is going about it just makes things even worse.

          The whole “baby beheading” thing hasn’t even been confirmed by the Israeli government, which is a pretty good indicator that it was bullshit propaganda just like the “unplugging baby incubators” from the Iraq war.

          You are the one who doesn’t comprehend what is going on.

            Man there have been pictures…

            And you take the side of Hamas by blaming their actions on Israel and saying Israel should just live with whatever they do because otherwise civilians will get hurt.
