Israeli forces have killed nearly 100 Palestinians, including 25 children, in an air raid on homes in north Gaza where displaced people were sheltering.

The bombing late on Monday targeted a five-storey building in Beit Lahia, a northern town that has been under a severe Israeli siege and ground offensive for 24 days

The targeted building belonged to the Abu Naser family, which had recently taken in displaced people expelled by Israeli troops from their homes in north Gaza.

Between 300 and 400 people were sleeping in the building at the time of the strike.

Local media reported that wounded people were dying due to the lack of functional hospitals in north Gaza, a result of the systematic destruction of health services by Israeli forces.

Kamal Adwan was the last operational hospital in north Gaza before Israeli forces raided it last week, detaining or expelling all medical staff except Abu Safia and another paediatrician.

Other hospitals in the area have ceased operations due to Israeli attacks and a blockade preventing fuel, food and medicine from entering.

Since the war on Gaza began nearly 13 months ago, Israeli forces have killed more than 43,000 Palestinians and wounded over 100,000. More than 10,000 are missing and presumed dead under the rubble.

At least 17,000 children and nearly 12,000 women are among the deceased, according to the Gaza-based government media office.

It's crazy that it's still considered antisemitic to call it a genocide

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 32 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's not. That's an Israeli propaganda push, not reality.

What Israel is doing is unconscionable, and has been rightly identified as genocide.

Don't let anyone call you antisemitic for saying that. You have said nothing about Jewish people, you have only said that a nation is committing war crimes, which is plain as day.

What's really crazy is when Jewish people point out Israel's crimes and get labeled antisemitic.

Non-Jews defining what being a Jew is, denying what actual Jews said about it, is exactly the kind of thing Nazis do (both the literal, historical Nazi Party members and supporters and present day ethno-Fascists)

Welcome to Germany, where some anti antisemitism commisisioners are doing exactly that.

Yeah, because of this situation the dark unreformed underbelly which is the thinking about people as "ethnics" that was one of the core foundations of Nazism, has been brought to light - very much alive and well - in the power structures of Germany and its power elites.

Don't let anyone call you antisemitic

That ship of having the phrase have any meaning has sailed decades ago, at least for me. It is a sign you are on the right side of truth as this line of 'defense' is always used to cover up something morally wrong which Israel is being called out for.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

The real anti-semites are the ones who accuse of anti-semitiesm people who are against Genocide, since that is logically equivalent to saying that commiting Genocide is a Jewish trait.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 24 points 3 weeks ago

For those of you unaware, Israel just raided and arrested all but one of the doctors in the last functioning hospital in Northern Gaza. There's no functioning healthcare system in this area so anyone they hurt stays hurt. Their attempt to forcibly displace the civilian population is plain as day.

Jewish person living in Israel, this is Genocide there is no excuse
