As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital.

“The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.

Yeah that ICJ ruling sure did a lot to stop Israeli aggression.

ICJ: "Hey guys, can you not doing anything genocide-y while we're trying to find out if you were doing a genocide?"

Israel: "Fuck you."

“Please don’t commit genocide, Thank you!”

Tbh I wonder what’s gonna stop these guys at this point, talk is definitely not gonna do it anymore

Pure evil.

A shop near my house has a sign out front with the American and Israel flags and says "pray for Israel." It just blows my mind.

[–] Bronco1676@lemmy.ml 34 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well you can also pray for Israel to stop

That would be a good protest sticker to add as an amendment. Just the words "to stop the slaughter"

Why are they doing this?

Settler-colonialism requires terrorism and mass killing to work. The goal at this point is to make Gaza uninhabitable so that every Palestinian is either forced to flee or die.

Otherwise known as Ethnic Cleansing, or a genocide if mass death is involved.

Israel is purposefully committing a genocide.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 33 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And every country that de-funded UNRWA is an accomplice.

And if you notice, all the countries that de-funded UNWRA are either former colonial powers or settler-colonies.

Because settler-colonialism requires genocide.

and conservatives are trying to conserve the institutions that think colonialism is a neat way to get rich.

Conservatism is literally a terrorist ideology, and humanity NEEDS to realize it.

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 9 months ago

It's not just the conservatives

Genocide

[–] dan42O@infosec.pub 30 points 9 months ago

At one point they were like we are half assing this, then they realized they should 100% ass it and yell ‘your anti-semitic’ to anyone,

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 24 points 9 months ago

"...the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left." what the actual fuck.

Moving objects also include animals:

Israeli snipers target sheep in Gaza

[–] okamiueru@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Legitimate military targets as it might feed a potential terrorist. And even if it didn't, not killing it might allow for a surplus of food, in such a way as to benefit terrorists.

/s, but probably not far from their reasoning, for what is actually state sponsored terrorism.
