Israel pounds Gaza, killing dozens, as fighting rages

Quote:

"The entire city of Rafah is an area of Israeli military operations," Ahmed Al-Sofi, the mayor of Rafah, said in a statement carried by Hamas media on Friday.
"The city is living through a humanitarian catastrophe and people are dying inside their tents because of Israeli bombardment."
Sofi said no medical facility was functioning in the city, and that remaining residents and displaced families lacked the minimum daily needs of food and water.
Palestinian and U.N. figures show that fewer than 100,000 people may have remained in the far western side of the city, which had been sheltering more than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people before the Israeli assault began in early May.

I'm sure obliterating these tent campers will end the threat and protect Israel from the evildoers

The UN is a corrupt, garbage institution that has no credibility or moral authority at all.

All you do is bait bait bait

Ill be mad when a country gets to choose who and how many need to die of another country to satisfy their opinion of eliminating a potential threat - and then **** it up terribly.

This guy is brilliant.

The starving Palestinian children thing is a twofer for these people. They get to show they care about those starved and show how much they hate Israel. I'm sure many of these folks will move on to the next "outrage" once they get bored with this one.

Gaza could have a nice tourist industry if they didn't use the billions given to them to boost their terrorist industry.

if they stay in tents near refugees, you bomb the tents. after absolute proof Hamas repeatedly used hospitals and schools why are you surprised ? why don't you ask for all Hamas personnel to unconditionally surrender to Israel, which would end the war right now?

Al Jazeera reported that survivors said it.

Just like they reported that survivors said they had been raped by electric rods months before the NYT and the UN wrote about it.

Just like they reported that survivors said they had been amputated due to neglect and abuse months before Haaretz and CNN reported on it.

Maybe these are just lies. But it would be the first time.

Can you address the post about Israelis raping people with metal rods and dogs? Like someone posted the accusation in Twitter and it’s ok to post here?

she repeatedly said she won't censor content no matter how redic it is. No problem with that as long as it works for everything (that seems to be the case for now).

No need to debunk the crazy claims by pro-hamas supporters either in general, don't dignify them with any answer or comment everytime they claim unprovable random stuff

Al Jazeera reported on the dogs.
