Do Hamas claims require independent confirmation, or only Israeli ones?
Blindly accepting the claims of a terrorist organization is the new norm apparently.
You’re right. There should be a cease fire so neutral international observers can go investigate.
The thing is that it can’t be a ceasefire until Hamas frees all the hostages. And even then, there is no guarantee that there won’t be another terrorist attack.
This is simply disgusting and utterly unjustifiable. Yes a nation has the right to defend itself - when it’s under attack as it was by Hamas two weeks ago. Once the attack is over, going into Gaza and blatantly murdering people is no longer “defense,” it is sick and perverted retaliation - a chance for mentally ill men to go use their sick weapons to kill, hurt, maim, torture, destroy, wound, and obliterate. Give them weapons, men will always invent (completely erroneous) reasons to use them againt innocent civilians. SHAME AND DAMNATION ON EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS WAR.
If you want to do something get out on the streets. South African apartheid fell with the help of international pressure.
Also you can boycott israeli goods.
The BDSMovement has a great acronym
