Netanyahu triggers a bloodbath to stay out of jail.

The Israelis are doing it right, they are following the example of the Alawites (Assad) and the Saudis by killing children. Good strategy, less young people to throw stones at you in the future. So far 8 Israelis have died, 73 Palestinians.

50% of the Gaza population is children.
10% of them are permanently stunted through malnutrition as a result of Israel's 'blockade'.

You can't help but kill kids when you're shooting fish in a barrel like that.
Its not like they can leave or there's anywhere safe to go.
Israel is even bombing schools now.

Hamas should consider an "iron dome" before attacking israel...you don't fire rockets at another country and expect them to sit back and do nothing...they're cowards hiding behind civilians..

They live in the world's largest open air prison where snipers shoot them if the get close to the prison walls.
They have no bomb shelters and there is nowhere safe for them to hide as Israeli is now bombing schools.

Finally, even the NYT sees the obvious .... says so. Now it's time for Israel and all of her alies to free themselves and follow up with immediate action.

New York Times not a right wing paper nor a friend of Israel

New York Times has always been hawkish on Israel.

But the issue here is that even if you believe this to be true, it means you need to get rid of Bibi.
His best friend for staying in power is Hamas - he's never going to get rid of them.

Right on the money.
And really, Netanyahu threw gas on the fire with the Jerusalem evictions because he had just been told he wasn't going to form a government, which means he couldn't stop his corruption trials.
His opponent, Bennett was going to align with the Arab List, which would have been the first time they had any power, but after this a right wing party could never do that.
Which means Netanyahu is back in the driver's seat while Hamas gets the reputation as defenders of Al Aqsa and Jerusalem and the PA becomes even more irrelevant.

The difference this time is that global public opinion is turning against Israel in a big way.

Watching some of the interviews on BBC. Unbelievable. Netanyahu's statement that they will keep bombing until the Palestinians are quiet. Saying it all began because Hamas started firing rockets at them. Completely ignored the fact that Palestinians are being kicked out of their homes to make way for Jewish settlers. Now Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews are fighting each other, where before, they lived side by side, as neighbors.
This is a war crime. Seems like Israel doesn't give a fuck. Enough already. Talk about rubbing salt into a wound. Incredibly stupid to exacerbate a situation that has gone beyond any chance of reconciliation. No hope for peace, ever. How can the world condone anything Israel does after this?

I stay out of talk about,The Unholy Land", the peace process was doomed when Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. Death toll 9 Israelis, 119 Palestinians.

Netanyahu started this by blocking Muslim worshipers from entering the al -Aqsa Mosque during Ramadan. This added insult to injury by evicting Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, for Jewish settlements. I've stayed out of the discussion since Jews have helped me to attain the lifestyle I currently enjoy over the years. Most recently with the car accident where I was represented by a Jewish/Armenian firm. However this shouldn't have happened, all because Ultra-Orthodox Jews want the return of Biblical Judea.

Btw, this dude is not Orthodox.

Every single one of my Jewish buddies disagree with Netanyahu's handling of this whole issue starting with how the police intervened in blocking the Palestinians for gatherings after their services. They did not do likewise with the Ultra-Orthodox Jews that were demonstrating to evict all The Palestinians from what they consider as their own land. These are the peaceful Palestinians that have lived in the midst of the Jews for generations. Now the Jews and Arabs citizens are clashing with one another on the streets and there are rockets going in one direction while bombers are going in the opposite directions with the number of deaths, injuries, and destruction of homes , businesses on the rise!!

It is a tragedy of biblical dimensions. I grew up in Denmark where we idolized Israel as a wonderful achievement for the Jewish people. We cheered for Moshe Dayan and the other israeli leaders.

Now there is only sadness and a sense of betrayal left.

Just read this, which is exactly what some of the right wingers like phil and jcpro have been 'calling for'.

Malak Mattar, a Palestinian artist based in Turkey who returned to Gaza City just before Ramadan told Al Jazeera she is not optimistic about the situation in the besieged enclave.

“I survived the war of 2008, 2012 and 2014. I could say and my family would say that what’s going on is much worse than the previous wars,” Mattar said.

“The bombings have not stopped. The target is on residential buildings that are in the city where I live. There have been other firings from gunboats… and also from the airplanes. My friends in the north (of Gaza) are forced to leave their homes. This reminds me of the Nakba in 1948. It’s a massacre and it makes me wonder if I will survive.

didn't you teach us not to trust a partisan about what the target is?

It would be better if he wasn’t in charge. Bibi support base is the far right, that is problematic factor for peace in the region.

I know, you won't believe anything a Palestinian says. Let alone someone who is an 'artist'.

I say don't believe the press releases from the IDF or Hamas.
For instance, the IDF said they destroyed 3 residential towers because they housed 'Hamas military facilities'.
But the Committee to Protect Journalists notes that those three towers housed 12 media outlets.

Israeli air strikes destroy buildings housing more than a dozen media outlets in Gaza - Committee to Protect Journalists

New York, May 13, 2021 – Israeli forces must refrain from bombing media outlets, and should ensure that journalists can work safely and without fear, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. On May 11 and 12, Israeli warplanes bombed and destroyed the Al-Jawhara and Al-Shorouk office...

Instead, listen to the neutral parties and human rights organizations.
And yes, eyewitness accounts are worth listening to on both sides.

UN: Hostilities forced 10,000 Palestinians to leave homes in Gaza
The UN has said it estimates around 10,000 Palestinians have left homes in Gaza “due to the ongoing hostilities” amid an Israeli offensive.

“They are sheltering in schools, mosques and other places during a global COVID-19 pandemic with limited access to water, food, hygiene, and health services,” UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement.


“Hospitals and access to water and sanitation services depend on electricity, the fuel for which will run out on Sunday,” it added.

The office said Israeli authorities and Palestinian groups must immediately allow the UN and its humanitarian partners to bring in fuel, food, and medical supplies and to deploy humanitarian personnel.
