Israeli forces stormed the last operational hospital in the besieged north Gaza. The attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Beit Lahia northwest of Jabalia, was launched around 2am local time, shortly after a WHO delegation left the hospital.

It began with air strikes targeting the hospital and its courtyards, including the medical oxygen generator, said Dr. Munir al-Bursh, the director general of the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza.

The bombing led to the death of children inside the hospital and wounded medical staff. "Instead of receiving aid, we receive tanks... which are shelling the [hospital] building," said Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital.

How the fuck isn't israel not placed to a position like north Korea for example? Why is anything those cu*ts do not being met with swift and tough sanctions and isolation?

I genuinely do not understand why we take orders from them. Like, what do they have??? Some actual bonafide portal to God?

They have a portal to one of our political gods/demons: AIPAC

Because of US, US, US, German and UK military and political support, in that order. Israel makes the right people in the right places tons of money and Zionism is rampant among the political elite in most Western countries.

Religion is a helluva drug.

I don't think they are protected because of their religion. I think after WW2 everyone (not arabic countries obviously) was protective of them and overlooked anything they were doing.

It's much simpler than that: they give a lot of money to the people in charge

It's not religion, it's money. Biden has received more money from pro-Israel lobbyists than any other Senator in history. AIPAC has broken lobbying records this election cycle to make sure the US government remains pro-Israel. They've literally ousted Democratic members of Congress to replace them with ones more sympathetic to Israel.

Now they aren't even using the excuse "but under the hospital there was a single Hamas member, so it warranted killing 100 kids"

A Hamas tank fired at the parking lot

Every soldier raiding that hospital is Hamas in an IDF costume

The hospital was bombed by Hamas F35's

At this point it doesn't even make sense from an imperialistic prospective.

America is making itself look weak by not reigning in its attack dog. As callous and evil as this sounds: war genocide costs money, and you're wasting our shit.

America is a corporation, masquerading as a democracy, whose sole goal is generating profit. Israel's genocide is a small part of a greater holy war which is extremely profitable.

Desert Storm 2.0 netted the MIC trillions (with a capital T) of dollars in profits, and most of that was built on lies. Another one is financially... irresistible. You think the devils in skin-suits are gonna let a little genocide get in their way? There is literally nothing more important in the universe to them, than the profits they will make from this.

No I just wasn't educated enough to understand how they where profiting off of this enough to destroy its credibility even further (somehow.)

I didn't think weapons sales was enough to cover it, but hey, money talks.

This is the real reason they are trying to have tik tok banned.

Israel has been doing this and other similar tactics for decades, but three news channel now no longer are the sole arbiter of news that people can read.
