CNN said, 51 with many more wounded

And there was video with dead bodies and bleeding children , crying parents, all that stuff is “staged “ , huh?

but bbc already had to walk back a similar story when it turned out hamas was doing the shooting.

blaming everything on israel is not only dishonest, it's getting ppl killed.
the lack of skepticism and balance here saddens me no end.

Say they doubled the actual number, so Israel ONLY actually killed 35 people waiting in line for food. Just stop with this nonsense

I suppose all those buildings destroyed themselves. Netanyahu bomb strikes had nothing to do with it?

Im sick of all the violence... everywhere. But netanyahu is really making it hard for people to care about jews and Israel as a state... There has to be some sane people somewhere in these upper areas of governments...
I'm sorry for sounding ignorant, im far from being in the know. It just guts me when this happens... And it also makes me worried about jews in the us and everywhere who don't condone these actions but who are in danger anyway...

Over 2 million people trying to get food at only 4 stations, it’s set up so people trample each other and act out because it’s literally impossible to hand out food to over 500,000 people from one site

Because we didn't begin by announcing what a terrible dastardly attack occurred on October 7. It WAS terrible and dastardly.

I'm not going to limit myself to responses which hold the Netanyahu administration is blameless for all the policy choices which have happened since.

They have concentrated their opponents in camps where Palestinians are methodically starved to death and prevented from getting medical treatment. Children die daily of malnutrition. By policy. It's staggering the world is unwilling to respond to this.
