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.

Who started the 1948 Arab-Israeli war?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

certainly not Hamas 😂

The Arab states. And said Arab states and Palestine have continually attacked Israel since. Hamas is the latest in a long line of Arab aggressors, and have been firing rockets at Israel for decades.

Ignoring the decades of Arab aggression as a direct cause of the current conflict is idiotic at best.

Portraying the Arabs as aggressors in the genocidal colonial project undertaken in occupied Palestine during the last 8 decades is racist and dishonest at best
