Israel’s military has bombed another United Nations-run school as well as an Israeli-designed “safe-zone” in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 42 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others, according to Palestinian officials.

The Israeli attacks on Tuesday hit the UN’s al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a main street lined with market stalls in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought shelter.

    One could wonder why israel keeps designating “Hamas bases” as safe zones after they claim to have fully cleared those areas out.

    Almost like israel is just terror bombing schools full of children for no reason except being a Nazi terror state.

    Israel: bombs yet another school full of children

    World: you know? Maybe we should ban Israeli people from our businesses because it gives us bad press to accept people from a country that bombs schools

    Israel: Why do businesses ban our people as if we were some kind of bad country? [surprised_pikachu.jpg]

    Aren’t schools and hospitals supposed to be safe and protected… What about the Geneva convention? We throwing that out the window because it’s Isreal?

      Yes. That’s what we’ve been doing for the last 75 years.

      Seemingly not for much longer, though, what with the ICC arrest warrants and the US pretending harder than ever to be neutral.

      To quote a dude who’s even older than the four most recent serious contenders for the US presidency, the times they are a-changing!

      south africa and ireland are taking them to international court, but at the end of the day, it is the countries that actually have people/resources/power to enforce the court’s orders. And nobody is willing to invade Israel to bring them to justice (and bring their leadership to the courthouse). Almost all countries in the UN signed treaties promising they would enforce arrest orders, but when push comes to shove, nobody wants to be the one to do it. Israeli offivials can go visit their allies freely

      Not just that. Israel designated this as a safe zone and told civilians to flee here.

      So Israel gathers Palestinian civilians in their concentration camp in a designated building, and then systematically slaughters them after telling them they are safe there…

    There is no way they hit them purposefully. Education is Israels best weapon against the Hamas leadership.

      So, what you’re saying is that the IDF is so incompetent that they keep hitting designated safe zones by mistake? That’s what you’re going with?

        Look, I’m not saying they hit that school (or the previous 5) by mistake, but how can they know that a building called school, managed by the UN, full of children seated in classrooms with teachers teaching stuff to said children, in a zone designated by Israel as a safe zone is actually a school?

        They couldn’t know! Nobody could!

          None of those schools are active. They’re currently shelters for families.

            Well that makes it alright then! Nobody could possibly object to families sheltering in a so-called safe zone being killed by the very people who designated it as such and told them to go there!

            That’s just totally normal existential self defense behavior! 🤦

      Maybe this is a new concept for you but the Israeli right and Hamas are two sides of the same coin. They created each other and probably don’t exist without the other.

        education in Gaza has been directly linked to the incitement of terrorism. In Gaza the children read textbooks in school containing hateful, antisemitic messaging along with encouraging martyrdom and jihad.

        According to the IDF and far right Knesset members and organizations beholden to them. AKA the least reliable sources regarding anything even REMOTELY connected to Palestine.

          If you’re unhappy with this particular link, just search yourself. There are condemnations from several institutions (amongst them the EU comission). This is pretty much common knowledge for those who are familiar with the situation.

          Two wrongs don’t make a right. I was highlighting to the OP why education (in this instance) isn’t actually reducing bigotry and hate like it would in many other cases, but instead making the problem worse.

          Besides, the issue with problematic materials in teaching is hardly limited to Gaza.
