An Israeli airstrike on the Osama bin Zaid School in the Al-Saftawi neighbourhood in north Gaza City killed at least 20 and wounded 30 in the second massacre against civilians in less than five hours on Friday.

(OP Note: I’m just advising y’all now. Don’t watch any videos connected to this event. They’re…really traumatizing.)

    This is a genocide campaign. Why attack a refugee camp? I get that Hamas hides in civilians, but that does not give you the green light to just kill everyone. This is evil behavior, and I ask anyone reading this to call your representatives and demand they cut all funding to Israel.

      Even if Hamas is using them as a shield, experts explain that the civilians still have to be protected. So Israel is committing war crimes here.

        That argument never made sense to me anyway. If anything, using civilians is not a reason to carpet bomb safe routes and hospitals. If anything, you’d need surgical precision.

          They have the technology for surgical precision, so when they don’t use it (except when killing journalists)… I don’t know, it’s obvious they want to kill as many Palestinians as they can.
