It’s an Absolutely Terrifying Night in Gaza Right Now - eviltoast

Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

    and it’s also why the propaganda machine always pushes the “violence is not the answer” narrative

      So your logic is stop Israel’s “violence”, but let Palestinians continue with their “resistance”?

        Just BROADLY speaking, the pro Palestinian take right now is that Israel should be removed and Palestine given all of the territory.

        Like, that’s the take. They don’t just want an end to the violence - Israel wants that too. Hamas has been dedicated to the destruction of Jews and Israel for basically forever.

        So it’s asymmetrical.

        The pro Israel take is “destroy Hamas so that these attacks stop and there can be peace.” But it’s important to note that up until the October 7 attack Israel only wanted peace. This new policy is a reaction to an unprecedented attack.
