Before some disingenuous comment about chicken or the egg starts flooding this thread, these people were already refugees due to Israel's action of driving them out of their houses by bombing them in the first place, and then bombing them again in the refugee camp, if that's not a war crime and precedent of next generation of Palestinians hating Israel, I don't know what else is.

If I've learned anything about global conflicts, it's that war crimes can only be committed by Non-VINs: Very Important Nations.

I used to do nightclub security in college and it was EXACTLY the same thing with drugs. If you were a nobody who paid $500 for a bottle service table, you can't do drugs at your table, one warning to stop, the next you're kicked out.

If you're Israel America Saudi Arabia Paris Hilton, the bottle service girl will literally help you set up the lines of cocaine you brought to party with for the table to enjoy.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed international calls to halt the fighting, intensifying the conflict.

The only way he'll listen is if we cut off the handouts.

It's literally the only leverage the international community has on Israel's government, which is why they spend so much money and time trying to make the BDS movement illegal in other countries.

Israel is just committing a genocide

I really don't know why more people don't use the historical metaphor of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, it's almost exactly the same situation, but the position of the Jewish people is switched around.

We are now at the stage of crimes against humanity,and still western goverments watch on,doing nothing.

That’s not exactly true. We egg them on, give them money and ground/air support, but only fascists, so as long as it’s not anything left of fascist, it’s fine.

Joe Biden Says he has no confidence in those numbers. The dispenser of truth has spoken.

It's chilling to see an airstrike that collapses entire multistory buildings.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

GAZA/JERUSALEM, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Israel said its forces fought Hamas gunmen inside the militants' vast tunnel network beneath Gaza as a hospital director said more than 50 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike on a refugee camp in the besieged enclave.

As the battle inside the tiny Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory intensified, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed international calls for a halt to the fighting.

But U.N. and other aid officials warned that a public health catastrophe was engulfing civilians in Gaza, with hospitals struggling to cope with mounting casualties and food, medicine, drinking water and fuel running short.

Some of the 240 hostages that Israel says were seized by Hamas that day are believed to be held in the tunnel complex, adding a further complication for the Israelis on top of the difficulties of fighting in an urban setting.

Air raid sirens sounded in the area of Israel's far southern resort city of Eilat on the Red Sea on Tuesday and the Israeli military said it downed an approaching "aerial target".

Air strikes on Monday night outside the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza caused a power cut and doctors said they feared for the lives of 250 injured Palestinians being treated there as fuel runs low.

area of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

The usage of the word "refugee camp" calls to mind tent cities set up as temporary housing measures. Jabalia Camp was established in 1948.

These are Gazans who did not evacuate to the south, and Hamas do not differentiate between their reporting of their armed members and civilians, so some of the 50 reported may have been involved in active combat.
