It's right there in the title.

And Gaza shares a border with Egypt which Israel does not control.

So, how many rockets were fired by Hamas multigraincracker May 2021 #1
None WHITT May 2021 #2
Thank you for multigraincracker May 2021 #4
"They only falsely claimed Hamas had an 'intelligence office' " EX500rider May 2021 #5
Let's pretend that is true. There is no moral or legal justification for bombing a whole building pnwmom May 2021 #8
That makes it a military target and they warned the occupants to get out. EX500rider May 2021 #10
No, it isn't enough to just be a military target. This attack violated the law of proportionality.nt pnwmom May 2021 #11
How do you know exactly what the military advantage would be? EX500rider May 2021 #13
The IDF could also decide that every Palestinian citizen is a probable Hamas sympathizer TheRickles May 2021 #15
The IDF won't have the last word. The International Criminal Court will. pnwmom May 2021 #16
Israel is not a member of the ICC Mosby May 2021 #18
Theater that will matter to its allies, whether or not they're members. pnwmom May 2021 #19
Doesn't Have To Be WHITT May 2021 #22
The law of proportionality is relative and open to interpretation. totodeinhere May 2021 #27
And most of the world thinks Netanyahu's a warmonger who's doing this pnwmom May 2021 #30
I understand that cynical viewpoint, but that doesn't account for the fact that the IDF totodeinhere May 2021 #37
I think Thomas Friedman is right. Netanyahu and Hamas use each other pnwmom May 2021 #38
The Israeli military would say whatever it wants to justify Mysterian May 2021 #12
Let's See WHITT May 2021 #21

Israel showed US 'smoking gun' on Hamas in AP office tower, officials say George II May 2021 #14

Fascist Likud Propaganda WHITT May 2021 #23

This is seen time and time again, and no-one seems to get it. Steelrolled May 2021 #96
Stop the media from reporting what is happening. eom guillaumeb May 2021 #6
I dunno, seems to me like they're still reporting just fine. Jedi Guy May 2021 #9
All Their Archives Were Destroyed WHITT May 2021 #24
Blowing up an empty building is a war crime? Somehow I doubt that. N/T Jedi Guy May 2021 #25
Demolishing Journalist's Offices WHITT May 2021 #26
Is it really? Can you please cite the convention or law which states that? N/T Jedi Guy May 2021 #29
I Don't Really Have The Time WHITT May 2021 #35
You asserted it so it's on you to prove it. Jedi Guy May 2021 #40
Are Your Fingers Broke? WHITT May 2021 #42
Again, you asserted it so it's on you to prove it. Jedi Guy May 2021 #43
If You Don't Want To Know WHITT May 2021 #44
If it's so easily available and well-known, give me a link. Jedi Guy May 2021 #45
I think the poster who calls everything the IDF does a war crime and nothing Hama's does.. EX500rider May 2021 #49
The ducking of the question is unsurprising. Jedi Guy May 2021 #51
Yep WHITT May 2021 #59
Military occupation requires occupation EX500rider May 2021 #60
Nope WHITT May 2021 #61
Perhaps you should look up the definition of military occupation EX500rider May 2021 #62
Perhaps You Should Read UN Resolutions WHITT May 2021 #64
"Perhaps You Should Read UN Resolutions" EX500rider May 2021 #70
OK WHITT May 2021 #82
Well your choice has been obvious EX500rider May 2021 #84
I Told You More Than Five Hours Ago WHITT May 2021 #58
Color me unsurprised. Jedi Guy May 2021 #63
Giving civilians only an hour's notice to evacuate before blowing up the building they live and work Withywindle May 2021 #32
Targeting media is fascism 101 Withywindle May 2021 #33
So let me get this straight. Jedi Guy May 2021 #41
Targeting civilians violates International Law, guillaumeb May 2021 #47
"The Israeli Government has no problem with this." EX500rider May 2021 #50
Nonsense. Israel is targeting civilians, guillaumeb May 2021 #65
Nonsense back at ya.. EX500rider May 2021 #67
I mean... Jedi Guy May 2021 #52
The Israeli Government targets civilians, guillaumeb May 2021 #66
If they were deliberately targeting civilians, the death toll would be way higher. Jedi Guy May 2021 #71
The narrative was the same in Vietnam, and Afghanistan, guillaumeb May 2021 #72
It's cool how you totally sidestepped everything I said and just repeated your assertion. Jedi Guy May 2021 #73
You assume that because the casualty numbers are relatively low, guillaumeb May 2021 #74
Well, if Israeli is deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians, they're doing a terrible job. Jedi Guy May 2021 #75
Hamas came into being in the late 1980s. guillaumeb May 2021 #76
Yet another rhetorical sidestep and deflection. Jedi Guy May 2021 #77
Your speed at research is amazing. guillaumeb May 2021 #78
Your artful dodging is amazing, too. I'll answer your question when you answer mine. N/T Jedi Guy May 2021 #79
"So what did you find out about those 4 issues" EX500rider May 2021 #87
If one builds on a weak foundation, the structure will be unstable. guillaumeb May 2021 #88
Things that happened before the founding of modern day Israel EX500rider May 2021 #89
By that logic, the US civil war has no bearing on current issues in the US. guillaumeb May 2021 #90
The civil war does not predate the US EX500rider May 2021 #91
Palestinians in Palestine predate the Israeli State. guillaumeb May 2021 #92
Hamas is not firing rockets into Israel because of something Irgun or Stern did in 1930's EX500rider May 2021 #93
Google the term blowback, guillaumeb May 2021 #94
Yes Hamas is currently experiencing blowback EX500rider May 2021 #95
It Looked More Like A Controlled Implosion Than.... global1 May 2021 #7
