At least 67 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza’s southern city of Rafah as strikes hit houses and mosques.

“The place we completely ruined? You can go die there or something, I haven't really thought about it yet. We’ll bomb you in the meantime though and circle back to you on the safe place thing after”
If you can stomach it, I highly recommend giving this article a read. We hear a lot about the attacks, rarely the victims and aftermath.
Just accuratly translating Bibi for everyone.
Reminds me of that Onion article: Israel Assures It Doing Everything Possible To Minimize Civilians
@Deceptichum are these the strikes where hostages were rescued ?
This is the city they city the forced all the Palestinians into and are currently bombing, they allegedly rescued 2 hostages there yes.
How many Palestinian kids will you kill to save a Israeli colonizer?
Hamas has offered on multiple occasions to release the hostages. Israel insists on continuing to commit genocide against the Palestinians.
And this talk about human shields is nonsense. Hamas has no choice but to be in proximity to civilians, because they’re all imprisoned by Israel in Gaza. Israel only uses this as an excuse to kill more Palestinians.
While in the process killing more than 28 K Palestinians most of which civilians, underage kids and women, destroying half of Gaza’s infrastructure and homes of those same people. Displacing millions of them, rendering the health care system of the country not operational and causing mass starvation within the territory.
And all of this for what exactly, 70-80 hostages, and mind you the remaining hostages are mostly military personnel.
I don’t know for you, but I have a hard time to justify the actions of Israel.

CNN analysis: Video suggests IDF might have rearranged weaponry at Al-Shifa prior to news crew visits
Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers
To summarise those 4 articles…
The original allegations against the UNWRA were unsubstantiated by any evidence, and the last two times they found tunnels there has been suspicion cast on the authenticity of the finds due to signs of tampering and misinformation by IDF forces. Its hard to lend much credence to their third time claims about an “electrical supply room” tunnel.
Nor would any of that justify ~30,000 mostly women and children even if it were all true.
Ngl I feel like we should all kill ourselves for the fact that we are so helpless in this situation while innocent people who literally have not done anything continue to die just for some bullshit economic interests
Please do not take the kill part seriously, some lemmings get very emotional on words like these, I am just trying to portray how helpless we are, but keep trying, your and my voice matters!
Remember to join BDS activities in your area and globally. It works.
Why do I have a problem with Al-Jazerra? Here is a link to their MBFC which to be honest, is lower than a credible news source should be.

Probably because the bias checker goes out of its way to mark them down.
Wapo has many more negatives and still get a higher rating.

Hell the Sun and Fox News are only mixed

I don’t understand anything you just said
AJ is still a credible news source.
And the two articles that failed fact checks were an article about India and an article about South Africa both in 2018.
Here’s another metric for bias and credibility

When it comes to Qatar, India, or Africa then AJ is not a good source to turn to.

Those two paragraphs are from MBFC…

Just from a reading of 4 of your comments as a sample size, it is obvious you are an Anti-Israel propagandist.

An article by Sherry Ricchiardi in the American Journalism Review (AJR) noted that critics of Al Jazeera have “assailed what they see as anti-Semitic, anti-American bias in the channel’s news content.”[4] Ricchiardi had earlier criticized an Al Jazeera report that Jewish employees of 9/11 targets were informed of the attacks beforehand, a report which was also criticized in an October 2001 New York Times editorial. She cited the former Al Jazeera weekly show Sharia and Life, hosted by Yusuf Qaradawi (an Egyptian cleric who “argues clearly and consistently that hatred of Israel and Jews is Islamically sanctioned”).[5] The organization held a 2008 on-air birthday party for Samir Kuntar, a Lebanese terrorist convicted of killing four Israelis who was released in July of that year, later admitting that its coverage of Kuntar’s release violated its code of ethics.[6] The organization’s Beirut bureau chief said, “Brother Samir, we wish to celebrate your birthday with you” and called him a “pan-Arab hero.”[7][8]
Former Fox News conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly has called Al Jazeera “anti-Semitic” and “anti-American.”[9] Dave Marash who resigned from his position saying his exit was due in part to an anti-American bias at the network that is little seen in the US. Marash said he felt that attitude more from British administrators than Arabs. He said there were other reasons for his exit and was proud of the network’s coverage of issues south of the equator, but that he ultimately felt that it was not the right place for him.[10] He appeared on The O’Reilly Factor to challenge conservative host Bill O’Reilly’s lambasting of Al Jazeera and said: “They certainly aren’t anti-Semitic, but they are anti-Netanyahu and anti-Lieberman and anti-Israeli, right.”[4][11] Marash had also described Al Jazeera as “the best news channel on Earth.”[12]
On May 30, 2017, Al Jazeera’s English-language account retweeted an Anti-Semitic meme.[13][14][unreliable source?] The network tweeted an apology after the incident, calling it a “mistake.”[15][unreliable source?]
In May 2019, AJ+ produced a video denying and minimizing the Holocaust. Al Jazeera said it had “swiftly deleted” the video, stating that it had “violated the editorial standards of the network”. The video stated that “[the] number [of Jews murdered in the Holocaust] had been exaggerated and ‘adopted by the Zionist movement’, and that Israel is the ‘biggest winner’ from the genocide.”[16]
Is this the price of the story that started with Israel announcing that they rescued two hostages? Or is this a different action?
