Inside Gaza, cut off from the world by a near total blockade, Israeli airstrikes have decimated entire neighborhoods, leveling homes, schools and mosques. CNN drone footage from Monday showed the level of destruction across parts of the strip, with whole streets flattened in the al-Rimal neighborhood in Gaza City and a row of destroyed buildings known as al-Zahra towers in central Gaza.

Save the Children said Monday that over 1 million children are “trapped” in Gaza with no safe place to go and warned of the devastating impacts of lacking medication and electricity to power vital health infrastructure in the enclave.

“At least 2,000 children have been killed in Gaza over the past 17 days, and a further 27 killed in the West Bank,” the aid agency said on Monday.

“We call on all parties to take immediate steps to protect the lives of children, and on the international community to support those efforts,” Save the Children said, adding that Israeli airstrikes are “killing and injuring children indiscriminately.”

        Oh so if they allow trucks the fighting stop? Oh please. Hamas hasn’t stopped launching rockets since day 1. And if you think their preparation ended in a day, you’re terribly mistaken. There’s no chance for peace in the region now.

        *religious zionism

        Zionism is literally just nationalism for the jewish people. The fact that it has a religious brother is because the world decided that a race and a religion are linked. Do all jews want to be jews? No. Can they stop? No. Do all Israelis support religious zionism (which means taking land)? No. Even most of them don’t. Their government and politics are just so fucked up that we have a result of religious zionists running the state. Let’s pray that after this war they’ll get their shit together.

          Wrong. Zionism is the belief that Jewish people belong in the land of Israel.

            And again, that’s just nationalism. The jewish people (not religion) believe they need to have a home in Israel, and nowhere in zionism are settlements of west bank/gaza are mentioned. That’s religious zionism, which says the complete whole land of Israel should belong to the Jewish people. Zionism is the 48 border, religious zionism is the 67 border.

              Sorry, you’re completely wrong and trying to change the meaning of words because you don’t like what they mean.

              I see it all the time. Unfortunately, even saying something as objectively true and self-evident as “Zionism is religious nationalism” doesn’t sit well with zionists. That’s how much you people are trying to change the narrative, lol.

              Glad you’re losing control, though. Gonna block you now.

                How did you imagine me in your head when you typed “glad you’re losing control”? What does that even mean?

                Anyway, blocking someone over so little shows either a) you just can’t handle disagreements in life or b) the internet has spoiled you, blocking anyone who disagrees with you being so easy.

                In both cases, that’s a bad thing. Have fun spreading hate.

    For those wondering, this 2000 figure comes from… The Gaza ministry of health (specifically, a nonprofit citing the ministry of health), notable for fabricating a hospital bombing just last week where supposedly 500-870 people died (which is also turning out to almost certainly be a lie)

    #Welcome to the Arab Parallel Universe:

    “500 Kids with cute cats killed at a hospital at Gaza by evil Israel bomb!”

    “But the terrorists already confessed it was their own rocket short firing?”

    “Oops, ok, then nobody was killed and the handful of slightly wounded have already left the hospital. They were also ugly and noone liked them.”
