With many making the journey on foot from nearby Rafah, they struggled to find homes that had been atomised by the force of the bombardment in neighbourhoods heavy with the smell of death, where family and neighbours worked to dig out bodies long buried in the rubble.

This is just sad. The neighborhood is absolutely obliterated.

I don't know how anyone can survive there

Horrifying and unnecessary.

6. From where is Hamas firing back? Huh?? Israel are the ONLY ONES firing anything.

Get real.

8. Do you NOT understand the concept of a ceasefire?

For there to be one, ALL of the parties involved MUST agree. So, YOU get real.

7. It's a massacre. Not a "war".. History will not be kind. Get Slobodan's old cell ready for Netanyahu.

10. If 20,000 dead civilians are a "massacre" (assuming truthful numbers from a terrorist group)

What were all these wars, some with 10x the civilian dead?

11. This is where you should be directing your energy::

Read it all, don't be afraid. It is long though..

For years, the various governments led by Benjamin Netanyahu took an approach that divided power between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — bringing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to his knees while making moves that propped up the Hamas terror group.

The idea was to prevent Abbas — or anyone else in the Palestinian Authority’s West Bank government — from advancing toward the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Thus, amid this bid to impair Abbas, Hamas was upgraded from a mere terror group to an organization with which Israel held indirect negotiations via Egypt, and one that was allowed to receive infusions of cash from abroad.

12. I will "direct my energy" where I like, thanks

Are you surprised Israel has worked to keep groups who deny their right to exist as a country weak?
I am not.

Wasn't like the PA was going to take over in Gaza, they lost the civil war there awhile back.

13. Also, change subject fast when uncomfortable fact about civilian dead in past wars come up?

14. But no blame for Hamas setting up and firing crew served weapions in a humanitarian corridor

15. We have two choices.

1. It was a house-to-house combat, and one side wanted to limit self-fatalities at the expense of infrastructure.

Foe fires from building, make the building crumble and crumble its soft, squisy flesh foe-containing walls.

2. It was empty buildings. For kick and jollies, let's waste ammo in destroying things for target practice.

As a plus, maybe there are non-Jews in them!


One is reasonable. Even fact based. The other is blood-libel adjacent, and well into stereotype, racist territory. And, although base, none-the-less baseless.
