Israel says it will strike more Hamas tunnels running under Gaza homes, rockets fired from Lebanon

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Israel is continuing its bombardment of Gaza as Israeli-Palestinian violence enters its second week and militants in the blockaded Gaza strip carry on their rocket fire.

Hostilities have spilled out into Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israel, as Palestinian protesters striking in solidarity with Gazans clash with Israeli police, some of the protesters throwing rocks while police respond with tear gas. Many of the demonstrators do not support Hamas, but see the protests as acts of resistance against Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories.

Airstrikes from Israeli fighter jets killed six people in Gaza on Wednesday and levelled an extended family home in the territory that was home to 40 people. Members of the family say a warning missile fired five minutes before the bombing enabled everyone in the house to escape with their lives.

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza rose to 219 including at least 63 children, according to health officials there. At least 17 Palestinians have also been killed in the West Bank since Friday. The death toll in Israel currently stands at 12, including two children. Two Thai workers in southern Israel were killed in a rocket attack fired from Gaza on Tuesday. Israel says more than 3,400 rockets have bombarded its cities and towns.

1. "Israel has a right to defend itself."

What about Palestine?

2. Targeting civilians violates International Law,

and is a war crime.

[Budi]

3. As is the jihadist terrorist HAMAS.

I'd be fighting to keep that terrorist group out of my country too.

[guillaumeb]

5. Which is worse, State terror, or small group terror?

And Hamas did not exist prior to the 1980s, but the dispossession of Palestinians has been ongoing since 1948.

Were the American revolutionaries who fought the British terrorists?

[Budi]

7. Who's funding & allowing HAMAS?

There is a long history of placing blame in that region, and shit was going on before the UN gave the land to Israel.

Plenty of blame to go around & it ain't just Israel.

8. Were the revolutionaries who fought the British terrorists? eom

4. This whole thing feels like a distraction because bibi can't form a government

The USA needs to pull all support from Israel

6. Netanyahu's legal and political problems might be part of it. eom
