“No one is looking at us or the extent of this disaster or the crimes that we are experiencing in Gaza,” he said. Still holding his microphone, he slid off his flak jacket marked with the word PRESS and unstrapped his helmet.

“These protection jackets and helmets don’t protect us,” he said, flinging the equipment to the ground. “Nothing protects journalists. … We lose our lives for no reason.”

      Or you know, the people.in Gaza can leave and not die. Not only.do they not have to die from Israel bombs but don’t have to live under hamas rule

      Sounds like a win win

        What a sickening take.

        Not only.do they not have to die from Israel bombs

        It’s THEIR LAND. Why are the only options “leave forever, or die?”.

        but don’t have to live under hamas rule

        There wouldn’t be a Hamas if Israel didn’t stop murdering and stealing land they have no right to. Between 2008 and 2020, 5,590 Palestinians have been murdered

        Until Israel has all of the land, this won’t stop. They continue to murder and maim for decades, and when a Hamas retaliation happens, well then “this is war”.

        Let’s be clear about something. This was ‘Christmas come early’ for Israel, as Hamas laid out an attack that gave them a cart blanche to go all out on Palestine, ignoring all wartime rules, as they commit actual genocide, confirmed by Israeli Holocaust scholars: https://www.wrmea.org/israel-palestine/holocaust-scholars-say-israel-is-committing-genocide.html

        The solution should always start with de-escalation. Everyone knows this. Cops are trained to do this. Why is nobody policing Israel? They can’t even commit to saying what is going on in Israel is definitively Genocide.

        Yet neither Egypt nor Israel want to open their borders to Palestinian civilians. Where should they go?
