BraveSirZaphod ( @BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social ) 20•8 months agoIt should be noted that ‘refugee camp’ is a somewhat misleading term. These are functionally cities that are located where temporary camps were originally located. As refugee status is inherited by Palestinians, these are communities of legal refugees and thus, strictly speaking, refugee camps, but the image is very much not what the term brings to mind.
This is not to downplay the tragedy of civilian casualties; just providing some context that people may not know.

What I’m seeing and what you’re describing is roughly what I would have expected. Did you think refugee camps are all tents or something?
sqgl ( @sqgl@beehaw.org ) 5•8 months agoThe refugees have been there since 1948. There are apartments and several generations of kids. The headline misleadingly makes them sound like they were displaced this month.
Still tragic that civilians were killed.
LaVacaMariposa ( @LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz ) 1•8 months agoThat’s exactly what I think when I read “refugee camp”. Tents for refugees to stay temporarily.

TinyPizza ( @TinyPizza@kbin.social ) 11•8 months agoAs Israel continues their barbaric campaign of death they will lose all their allies on the left. The majority of the upcoming American generations (all progressively more left leaning) won’t support our key middle east partner any longer. Israel will be forced into the circles of auth right allies, further solidifying the fascistic ethnostate within. This really is Israels 9/11.
So sad that all the people in these threads claiming to want to defeat Hamas can’t understand that every second this continues their victory grows greater. There’s always time to stop this madness. There’s always time to step back from the abyss and help save Israel, but it needs to be your voices that help do it.
Blapoo ( @Blapoo@lemmy.ml ) 6•8 months ago“Save Israel”? Who do you think is currently dropping bombs on children?
Limitless_screaming ( @Limitless_screaming@kbin.social ) 9•8 months agoHe probably meant save them from their genocidal government and it’s actions, but truthfully this nation has always been genocidal and it’s by design.
TinyPizza ( @TinyPizza@kbin.social ) 3•8 months agoSure. Do you think they are not worth saving? That was the point I was trying to make to people who support Israel. Do I seem unaware of who’s dropping the bombs?
Zerush ( @Zerush@lemmy.ml ) 9•8 months agoBut at least also 2 Hamas terrorists are killed in this attac (sarcasm off)
Szymon ( @Szymon@lemmy.ca ) English5•8 months agoIsraeli and Hamas leaders are equal: bringing about the destruction of their people for political gain.
May those who never had a fair chance at life, meeting a painful and fearful end, find rest and peace in their next journey.
dmonzel ( @dmonzel@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months agoOne is fighting for freedom. The other is committing genocide. They are not the same.
Sonori ( @sonori@beehaw.org ) 1•8 months agoMeh, their similar enough that up until 2019 Israel publicly funded Hamas to explicitly weaken the Palestinian government. Both sides want thier little far right ethnostate. The only distinction in their minds is which race gets it.
dmonzel ( @dmonzel@lemm.ee ) 2•8 months agoOne has nukes. The other doesn’t have a standing military. They’re not “similar enough” at all.
Sonori ( @sonori@beehaw.org ) 2•8 months agoThe capacity to enforce thier ethnostate doesn’t seem like that much of a change when discussing thier idoligy. If Russia or Pakistan have Hamas a standing army and nukes tomorrow i doubt they would suddenly change thier stated end goals, simpley be capible of far more violence in furtherance of thouse goals.
AphoticDev ( @AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 2•8 months agoDamn, they’re self-defensing so hard.
dangblingus ( @dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 1•8 months agoHasn’t Israel blown past the civilian death toll by now in order to match the music festival attack and call it even?
