Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Cryptofascists will cite dead children to justify slaughtering many times more children in retaliation, each and every time, because they see those that are killed in that retaliation as less than human.

I assume you’re joking but just in case you’re not (or for the sake of people reading this that didn’t catch it) by crypto- as a prefix I mean deceptively veiled fascist ideology that pretends to be something else or justified in some ostensibly politically acceptable way.

Why assume he’s joking? It’s probably the first time many are hearing that term.

It is all and well within the limit of a “proportionate” response exercising the “right of selfdefence”! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.

Well yea, it’s only propaganda when the people I don’t like do it. Just because what I believe and what I question lines up perfectly with doesn’t mean anything!

Centuries long? You’re mixing them up with Jewish people?

I said century, not centuries. The state of Israel was formed in the 1940s, nearly a century ago.

Century-long is what was written. Not centuries-long. So we only need go back to 1923 or earlier, and we know this started around then.

Gaza’s population is near 40 % children (people under 18). Israel has lobbed thousands of bombs at an urban area with population density comparable to New York. What part of this do you find hard to believe?

Gaza’s nearly 50% people under 18 actually. The 40% number is for people under 15

Do you think this is outside of the expected number of deaths at this point?

Israel usually kills 10-20 Palestinians for every Israeli killed, so we can expect about 15-30k total Palestinian deaths from this, most of whom will be civilians.

I expect the number of deaths per day is going to ramp up once the hospitals and food centers run out of resources.

Does the death toll figure include those killed at al-Ahli Arab Hospital?
