At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

It's incredible that leaders like Biden can still back Israel after actions like this.

Money speaks louder than children can scream

The United States cannot turn its back on its allies so easily. It takes decades to build strong alliances.

What a horrific example of the sunk cost fallacy.

I don't think this is a purely economic equation

So it’s not a good example? What does it say to other allies when we drop one? Israel was attacked. We should stand by them. Certainly I am not supportive of what is happening in Gaza. I blame Bibi, not Biden.

What does it say to other allies when we drop one?

Probably something like "bombing children is bad" or "don't commit genocide"

Bibi may be the worst, but it's not like other prime minister was good with Palestine

Israel is only a detriment to the US.

Supporting Israel the main reason for the 9/11 attacks, which cost the US trillions of dollars.
