Palestinians say this war is robbing them not only of their loved ones but also of the funeral rites that long have offered mourners some dignity and closure in the midst of unbearable grief. Israeli strikes have killed so many people so quickly that they’ve overwhelmed hospitals and morgues, making the normal rituals of death all but impossible.
Overflowing morgues have compelled hospitals to bury people before their relatives can claim them. Gravediggers have laid dozens of unidentified bodies side by side in two large backhoe-dug furrows in Gaza City now holding 63 and 46 bodies, respectively, said Mohammed Abu Selmia, the general director of Shifa Hospital.
Honestly if killing Palestinian civilians and medical staff and journalists is justifying because of the Hamas attack, doesn’t that also mean the Hamas aerracks are justified against cilivlians because of Israel’s long list of apartheid and war crimes?
The answer is no to both. Nothing justifies this.
This false equivalency only makes sense if you ignore the difference between intentionally targeting civilians and collateral damage.
The former is what Israel does, according to every human rights group and country expept for Israel and a few of its allleies that happen to have genocide of a native nation as part of their history.
Call Israel out on its genocidal bullshit.
Every human rights group says Israel intentionally targets civilians? You don’t think even one exists that disagrees or takes no position on the matter? Absurd.
As for countries that support Israel:
All of them have genocide of a native nation as a part of their history, (and the nations that oppose Israel don’t?) Please. Your obvious bias is showing.
The party explicitly advocating for genocide in this conflict is Hamas, not Israel. Self-defense is not genocide.
Every human rights org that matters, and that Israel hates because they call out their crimes. A lot of them run by Jewish pro-Palestinians and anti-Zionists.
Pointing to Hamas (whom everyone already condemned) is a really cheap way to avert people’s attention from the thousands of dead bodies in Gaza.
Read that list of countries again. US, UK, Australia, France, certainly no one there invaded a native nation or occupied a county that wasn’t theirs lol
