Israeli airstrikes destroyed a tower block in Gaza City after Hamas militants launched a rocket and air attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with Israel’s president, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the country, is ‘at war’.
Al Jazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live from Gaza the moment the missile struck Palestine Tower behind her.
Sources in Gaza said at least 198 Palestinians were killed in the strikes
It’s not about blame so much as the more practical question of where the hell these people are supposed to go. If Israel doesn’t deserve the land because Palestinians lived there in the recent past then where are Israelis supposed to live? If Palestinians don’t deserve the land because they couldn’t defend it or whatever then where are they supposed to go?
We all sorted these questions out through violence when claiming our land centuries ago. It seems to me that by failing to allow that to happen here all we’ve really accomplished is dragging the process out for the better part of 100 years. Is that really a better or more moral outcome?
