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.

    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.
