The convoy was being used to transport Hamas militants, masquerading as humanitarian aid workers (a war crime fyi). The attack targeted (and struck) only the militants.
Claiming this was an attack on a humanitarian convoy and that some random people were hit is highly misleading
Wow, most misleading title ever.
There are humanitarian zones for the civilians with more than enough water.
The situation there is shitty, but to the blame of all the suffering on Israel alone is just plain wrong.
You should ask Hamas why they are stealing the Palestinian people’s aid to fight their illegal war
How did you reach this conclusion? Did I say that? Don’t put words in my mouth.
You know shit, stop getting headlines from your echo chamber and read something you didn’t already decided to agree with before reading for a change

So, if a small group of terrorists decides to operate out of a civilian population to attack a sovereign nation they automatically get immunity for their action and get a free “get out of jail” card? By your logic everytime some niche group decides they don’t get what they want (however absurd their demands are), all they have to do is arm themselves and operate from within a civilian population to automatically get support for their efforts, right?
Arab people aren’t real people? Tell that to the 20% Arab civilans in Israel. You obviously know shit about this conflict.
Completely ignoring the hostages? Well ok then.
That justifies war, yes.
War sucks and people get killed. Now grow up.
All of that is factually incorrect, the Palestinians never agreed to a state, so legally it was never theirs.
And all the surrounding Arab countries threw a tantrum fit as soon as Israel was created, tried to destroy it, and are now crying for losing the war they started.
Get your facts straight.
Here, I fixed the title for you: “Hamas still refuses to release hostages taken in unprovoked October 7 attack despite suffering of Gaza civilian population”
That makes rape the fastest way to statehood
So the fastest way to statehood is rape?
quibbling over which hospital is okay to blow up
No hospital was blown up in this conflict according to what I know, I’ll be happy if you show me evidence of that.
or how much the Israelis should be allowed to starve the Gazan
Nobody is allowing any such thing: There are thousands of hostages relatives and friends who are understandably very distraught due to this all situation, and for them sitting, probably not even in their home since October 7th, and seeing the aid pouring into Gaza while their loved ones are rotting in some Hamas terror tunnel will understandably make them want to do something about it. The police is obviously hesitant to use force on people in this situation, especially given they are most likely affected by the current fighting and understand that Hamas is stealing and abusing this aid to prolong the fighting.
The above is my explanation, not an endorsement for their actions. I’m sure this matter will be resolved, if not already.
Hamas might have killed a bit less than 1000 civilians, but IDF has killed 20 times more
Notice how you know the exact civilian vs combatant numbers for the Israeli side but not for the Palestinians. IDF claims a 7-9k dead combatants, so that’s an almost 2:1 ratio, which is unheard of especially in this dense urban fighting while Hamas tries to maximize civilian casualties.
They are also responsible for the destruction of almost half the civilian infrastructure there, the destruction of civilian homes, agricultural land, mass starvation, has created dire humanitarian catastrophe, damaged hospitals, killed paramedics, kids, manage to turn this war the deadliest for journalists in modern history, committed numerous war crimes
Yeah, all of that is on Hamas
and you still defend them?
Israel is the only side who had actually strived for peace over the years, that enthusiasm for peace has been tested to the extreme and unfortunately dwindled for obvious reasons, but even after the horrific events of October 7th you can still find voices calling for a two state solution. There was no such attempts for peace from the Palestinians, on the contrary - just more missiles and terror attacks for every attempt at a permanent settlement of the conflict. So, yeah, of course I defend them.
Shall we also mention that you managed to frustrate greatly even your closest ally the US, who is getting more annoyed with you by the day and now you are planning to attack Rafah, where more than half of the population of Gaza is sheltering, pushing them more to the abyss of despair.
Hamas is an obstacle to peace and must be disabled, they can stop this war now if they wanted by releasing the man, woman, children and babies (!) they currently hold captive, and surrender. If they don’t do that Israel had no other viable course of action to get rid of this threat, hopefully with as little civilian casualties as possible.
And these are indisputable FACTS.
Some facts, some unsubstantiated propaganda, some opinions
Isn’t it nice that a government takes care of its citizens?
The Gazans should complain to their elected government who not only failed to provide them security (see https://www.memri.org/reports/hamas-official-mousa-abu-marzouk-tunnels-gaza-were-built-protect-hamas-fighters-not), but also is the root cause of their suffering.
Regarding your second point - it’s a military controlled area, if the military concludes that something is banned in that area due to its abuse by a terrorist group that’s the way it should be, especially given the history of weaponization of dual use materials by this group (https://youtu.be/MvvqBcA-9yA).
Fuck those poor, helpless, blockaded, starving civilians that have been bombed from their homes, if we give them water/food/power/ceasefire it goes to Hamas
Where did I say that, why do you misquoted me?
