   The Government™ has made an ad about what's happening in Israel & Gaza and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

     Meanwhile, if you really think this war is going to truly defeat Hamas, you really need to look to the US, UK, and co. experience in Afghanistan and how defeating the Taliban worked out for them.

     Did you read the article?

     Falling upon Occam's razor during a war is naive at best.

     The IDF does indeed intentionally kill civilians in what they term "power targets".

     The IDF has destroyed or damaged approx 60% of the accommodation in Gaza.

     As stated in that +972 article, including "power targets" such as universities, banks, government buildings.

     Perhaps you're seeing the sanitised version of the war?

     The rest of the world is seeing something far more horrifying.

     @pewnack @moosh @KarunaX @BernieWonIowa @thejuicemedia It's indeed tragic. But no one made that decision on purpose, it doesn't fit occam's razor. If Israel wanted to kill civilians it can do FAR more damage.

     This is hurting Israeli war effort and global image.

     The alternative of having the Hamas after the war is worse. It would mean they will repeat the 7th again and Israel will retaliate again. This means a never ending death cycle. It must end.

     “Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

     Another source said that a senior intelligence officer told his officers after October 7 that the goal was to “kill as many Hamas operatives as possible,” for which the criteria around harming Palestinian civilians were significantly relaxed. As such, there are “cases in which we shell based on a wide cellular pinpointing of where the target is, killing civilians. This is often done to save time, instead of doing a little more work to get a more accurate pinpointing,” said the source.

     According to the Government Media Office in Gaza — which has been providing death tolls since the Gaza Health Ministry stopped doing so on Nov. 11 due to the collapse of health services in the Strip — by the time the temporary ceasefire took hold on Nov. 23, Israel had killed 14,800 Palestinians in Gaza; approximately 6,000 of them were children and 4,000 were women, who together constitute more than 67 percent of the total. The figures provided by the Health Ministry and the Government Media Office — both of which fall under the auspices of the Hamas government — do not deviate significantly from Israeli estimates.

     Tishler, the air force chief of staff, confirmed a shift in policy, telling reporters that the army’s “roof knocking” policy — whereby it would fire a small initial strike on the roof of a building to warn residents that it is about to be struck — is no longer in use “where there is an enemy.” Roof knocking, Tishler said, is “a term that is relevant to rounds [of fighting] and not to war.”

     On Oct. 25, the 12-story Al-Taj residential building in Gaza City was bombed to the ground, killing the families living inside it without warning. About 120 people were buried under the ruins of their apartments, according to the testimonies of residents. Yousef Amar Sharaf, a resident of Al-Taj, wrote on X that 37 of his family members who lived in the building were killed in the attack: “My dear father and mother, my beloved wife, my sons, and most of my brothers and their families.” Residents stated that a lot of bombs were dropped, damaging and destroying apartments in nearby buildings too.

     This is a report from an Israeli publication.

     It is absolutely repulsive that the US is underwriting a genocide.

     @moosh @KarunaX @BernieWonIowa @thejuicemedia genocide is the intentional murder of a population. The Oct 7th attack constitutes genocide.

     Israels campaign on Gaza isn't. A genocidal government doesn't call the civilians to make sure they clear the building: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-67327079

     It doesn't specifically try to move the population so it can surgically attack. This is done despite removing a huge strategic advantage of surprise and putting Israeli troops/civilian hostages at risk.

     Over 7,000 children in #Gaza have been murdered by #Israel to date, with many more seriously injured and maimed.
     I don't know how you can in all conscience refer to the deliberate murder of over 100 children a day as "restrained".
     Imagine your children being killed by murderous psychopaths who have invaded your country, and want to steal your house and land.

     @KarunaX @BernieWonIowa @thejuicemedia there are no 10,000 dead children. Many of the deaths in Gaza are caused by misfires by Hamas rockets. Hamas is still keeping Israeli civilians as hostages trying to prolong the war and preventing shelter from the civilians/children in Gaza while stealing humanitarian supplies.

     Imagine your neighbor killing and raping your family repeatedly and still keeping many of them hostage (including kids). This is a relatively restrained response.

     @debugagent @BernieWonIowa @thejuicemedia "Amazing restraint"??? You call nearly 10,000 dead children "restraint"? It seems you are a Zionist, not content with colonising Palestine and committing genocide, but now trying to colonise the English language and destroy common definitions of words.

     @BernieWonIowa @thejuicemedia Nonsense. Bombing is relatively tame otherwise there would be far more casualties and Hamas would have stopped firing missles. The numbers are faked (like the hospital lie).

     Hamas placed their headquarters under a hospital (which wasn't attacked) and is blocking civilians from moving to the safe areas designated by Israel.

     Israel is using phone tracking to minimize civilian casualties.

     Israel is showing amazing restraint here. More than any country would.

     Western media says the people facing genocide are actually Nazis so you don't have to worry if they die.

     Here is a video of smoke plumes in Gaza from another one of Israel's bombs.

     Gaza before & after Israel's massacre. Israel has penned in 2.5M people in Gaza, cut off their food/water (that's considered intent to commit genocide under intl law) & bombed them day & night for 3 weeks w/no end in sight & w/the full support of the US govt including 95% of #Democrats.
