Israeli snipers shooting at ‘every moving object’

As we reported earlier, Israeli snipers killed at least 21 people in Khan Younis in the south of Gaza, where displaced Palestinians were gunned down trying to reach Nasser Hospital.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says that Israeli snipers are surrounding the area of Nasser Hospital and “shooting at every moving object” as people are trying to reach it from the two densely populated residential neighbourhoods from the eastern and the western part of the hospital.

“The area around the hospital is very dangerous, and it has turned into a combat zone,” he said, noting that the hospital area is the only place right now in Khan Younis that has some water left.

      ICJ: “Hey guys, can you not doing anything genocide-y while we’re trying to find out if you were doing a genocide?”

      Israel: “Fuck you.”

    A shop near my house has a sign out front with the American and Israel flags and says “pray for Israel.” It just blows my mind.

      Settler-colonialism requires terrorism and mass killing to work. The goal at this point is to make Gaza uninhabitable so that every Palestinian is either forced to flee or die.

        Otherwise known as Ethnic Cleansing, or a genocide if mass death is involved.

        Israel is purposefully committing a genocide.

          And every country that de-funded UNRWA is an accomplice.

          And if you notice, all the countries that de-funded UNWRA are either former colonial powers or settler-colonies.

          Because settler-colonialism requires genocide.

            and conservatives are trying to conserve the institutions that think colonialism is a neat way to get rich.

            Conservatism is literally a terrorist ideology, and humanity NEEDS to realize it.

        What would be an acceptable reason? These “reports” seem quite damning. With snipers. No collateral damage necessary. And yet here we are

          It’s not about acceptance. I want facts. I want to know why. Journalism is not a game of yelling and pointing, it’s about giving the whole story. This ‘news’ is like your racist uncle on Facebook spouting nonsense.

            It’s not about acceptance. I want facts. I want to know why.

            Maybe you missed the point of the question. Can you imagine any possible reason why that would make this ok? What justification could there possibly be? Not even in the realm of facts, just theoretically speaking.

            Journalism is not a game of yelling and pointing, it’s about giving the whole story. This ‘news’ is like your racist uncle on Facebook spouting nonsense.

            I just want to address this because people say it a lot. Basically all news about “events that occurred” come from “reports,” unless there is public documentation or photo/video evidence. In a war zone this is totally normal. There is literally no other way to find out what is going on. It’s not like there are researchers on the scene collecting data and getting it peer reviewed before putting it on CNN.

            Is there any reason you think that these people making these first hand reports are lying?

              No. Imagining is for your after school sesame street shows, this is for facts. Anything else is a waste of time.

              Journalism is research. Posting random videos is TikTok.

                Thinking about things is really quite useful.

                Journalism is research. Posting random videos is TikTok.

                What if you post it on an established mainstream news outlet who employs you and it shows real-time footage of the thing we’re all trying to find out about?

                  Just like images, realtime footage is useless without facts. This isn’t kindergarten, journalism is investigation, not just posting videos.

            If there were any journalists left in Gaza, I wonder what is going on there… Where are all those journalists gone?!? Do I need to leave an (/s) or the sarcasm is obvious enough?

            It seems like all those journalists are being also targeted by the most moral army in the world, I wonder why…

          No, dude, this is due diligence that must be adhered to by supposed news organizations. Clearly all they are posting is click bait and rage bait.

      Legitimate military targets as it might feed a potential terrorist. And even if it didn’t, not killing it might allow for a surplus of food, in such a way as to benefit terrorists.

      /s, but probably not far from their reasoning, for what is actually state sponsored terrorism.
