    There are over a million people crammed into rafah right now. They were told it was a safe zone and they have nowhere else to go. And Israel bombed them, including camps of tents, with bombs that Biden gave them.

    Edit: the targets also included 3 mosques and 14 homes (just like normal single family houses)

        13,000 children are dead idk why ur still trying to do this. They bombed civilian targets, they have absolutely no excuse for that. Even if they are still warning people with phone calls, (which is doubtful considering that gaza doesn’t have super reliable electricity and connectivity, and most of the people in rafah aren’t from there so israel might not even know where they are) Israel still isn’t allowed to just blow up people’s houses without actual proof that the military importance of bombing said house outweighs the fact that it’s civilian infrastructure. Same with mosques.

          They use the cell phone network to locate phones, then they send calls and texts. You can usually find recordings and screenshots after an airstrike.

          Of course, the media basically never reports on it.

          If there is a tunnel under the building, that’s not a civilian target.

            Ok, I’ll be waiting here for evidence that there were tunnels being used by hamas under every single one of those homes, and that israel was using bunker busters to actually destroy them. But I don’t expect i’ll ever get that, because Israel consistently lies about this stuff and then just waits for people to forget it instead of backing up their claims.

                Israel does have to prove that they didn’t commit a horrifying war crime. Cmon.

                Also its ridiculous that you’re falling back on calling me antisemitic. If India did the same thing in Jammu and Kashmir, or Russia did it in Ukraine, I would also not believe any proof they presented until it was verified by a third party. That’s just basic critical thinking skills.

                  They don’t have to prove it to you, only to itself, maybe its allies. If there’s a valid military target and they take reasonable caution to minimize civilian casualties, it may still be horrifying but it’s literally not a war crime, and saying it is despite admitting that you don’t have the evidence doesn’t make it so.

                  In my view, the IDF is way more credible than Hamas.

                    Ok, can Russia also provide itself with evidence about Ukrainian forces being in civilian infrastructure to justify leveling an apartment?

                    Come on… grow out of this, please… they don’t minimize civilian casualties, and there is never a valid military target. Were all the dead babies in incubators a civilian casualty Israel tried to minimize by shooting all the doctors? Serious, get a fucking grip. And it doesn’t matter what links I’d send you because you’d either say they are (1) “just reports”; or (2) look terrible and bloody but are totally not a war crime because you trust the IDF more than your own braincells.

                Israel doesn’t owe you anything.

                Do you have like some kind of personal investment with Israel? You got my head scratching… how can you be reasonable about anything else in life, but when it comes to Palestinians being butchered, you just claim they were “reports”?
