Israel leaves Al-Shifa in ruins after a two weeks raid.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5cf6d303.jpg
On this Easter, lets ponder [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahus indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, which has killed more than 20,000 women and children, and his restriction of humanitarian aid, which has pushed Palestinians to the brink of famine, Merkley said in a three-post thread on X, formerly Twitter. Israel disputes the numbers of women and children killed, saying it is lower, and says it is doing everything possible to let aid into Gaza.
But we must also recognize that America is complicit in this tragedy by resupplying Israel with bombs and failing to use Americas leverage to increase aid delivered into Gaza, Merkley added. Reflecting on the admonition to feed the hungry and assist the stranger, and blessed are the peacemakers, lets push Team Biden to do better. More aid. No bombs.
Michal Cotler-Wunsh, a former centrist lawmaker who serves as Israels antisemitism envoy, wrote in a post on X that invoking the holiday to slam Israels military action was a blood libel.
A US senator. Peddling blood libel. On Easter. Weve been here before, she wrote.
There are images coming out of Al Shifa showing bodies of Palestinians with arms and legs tied behind their backs having been bulldozed by Israel.
"This is perhaps the first time that the Zionist regime allows itself to attack an official building of the Islamic Republic of Iran embassy, which had the flag of the Islamic Republic raised on top of it," he claimed.
"Iran preserves the right to take reciprocal measures and will decide the type of response and punishment against the aggressor," Irans foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said, according to IRGC-affiliated Fars News.
This entire genocide is the worst thing that has happened in our time, but I think what they've done in Al Shifa hospital may well be the worst war crime of the past 50 years or so.
It is really terrible. But we don't need to expose our ignorance of history to make the point.You do realize they said "in the last 50 years" right?
You do realize they said "in the last 50 years" right?
You do realize they said "in the last 50 years" right?Mai Lai was '68, so it's outside the parameters.
Then I suppose we're ignoring African conflicts, as is traditional?You know what would actually be useful?
You know what would actually be useful?Don't entertain them, it's just a shitty technique they've learned to distract others from the main issue.
Listing your examples rather than self-righteous vague posting.
The New York Times cited four unnamed Israeli officials as acknowledging Israel had carried out the attack.

Not official but definitive.
The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The transaction, which would amount to the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since the country went to war with Hamas on October 7, comes as the administration is also expected to notify Congress soon of a large new sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Israel, the people said.
The new sales of some of the US most sophisticated weaponry underscore the extent to which the US continues to support Israel militarily, even as Biden administration officials criticize Israels operations in Gaza, which have killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since October, according to the Gaza ministry of health.

IMPENDING ban of Al Jazeera.If Israel is going out of their way to ban media that doesn't toe their line, the only correct response is to assume every accusation made against Israel is true and every claim favorable to Israel is false, until such time as independent media is allowed access again.
I want to correct my previous stance now that I have thought it over.
This impending ban directly effects our news. Al Jazeera now has journalists in Gaza. There are no foreign journalists allowed by Israel. When Al Jazeera is banned, the plan must be to ban the journalists.
Journalism is like any other profession. Amateurs can do it but lack the training, equipment and connections.
News blackout on the way.

Not official but definitive.
Israeli intelligence services have studied civilian casualty figures released by the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza and concluded the figures were generally accurate, despite earlier public claims by U.S. and Israeli officials that the ministrys statistics are manipulated.
According to a story in Mekomit by Yuval Avraham, who last year broke news about the Israeli militarys use of AI for targeting purposes, the numbers were accepted for inclusion in briefings to senior Israeli officials after intelligence services conducted operations and analysis to monitor the health ministrys information collection methods and its internal communications and determined the statistics were credible. An Israeli intelligence official confirmed the Israeli government's use of the Gaza ministry numbers to VICE News, while two officials from European intelligence services said they were widely used in official briefings internationally.
For the people that continue to doubt the Gaza Ministry of Health numbers for some reason, despite it having a pretty good track record even prior to Oct 7th.No one has a genuine reason to doubt the numbers; it's just another case of "if it makes us look bad, pretend it doesn't exist".

https://twitter.com/NourNaim88/status/1774939168218489263I saw their bodies. Really fucked up killing people trying to help those in Gaza.
Killed chefs cooking for the needy.
Then I suppose we're ignoring African conflicts, as is traditional?Put up or shut up.
https://twitter.com/haaretzcom/status/1775187685721735438What kind of nonsense is this? They can snipe children just fine.
The so called armed terrorist they were targeting never left the warehouse.
The WKC incident should be a wake up call to the world to not support Bibi at all.Stop scapegoating. This atrocity is consistent with 50 years of Israeli policy, 70% of the Knesset's explicitly stated views, and the majority of Israeli voter's explicitly stated preferences.
How long till they blow up this bird's nest?Lol @ all the removed comments (and the few they missed)

https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1775261427076649019Honestly, we barely need investigations to confirm it at this point. There's zero reason to believe anything else.
