Israeli airstrikes destroyed a tower block in Gaza City after Hamas militants launched a rocket and air attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with Israel's president, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the country, is 'at war'.
Al Jazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live from Gaza the moment the missile struck Palestine Tower behind her.
Sources in Gaza said at least 198 Palestinians were killed in the strikes
My dislike of the policies of Israel's government is not relevant. Israeli citizens are not currently massacring Palestinians and parading their bodies through the streets.
This is not equal, this terrorism does not help Palestine, and excusing it is disgusting.
I never said it did.
I'm not excusing I'm explaining.
Indeed. As said: On the one side a cat in a corner, on the other someone pinning it down. Who is at fault when claws go flying?
Animals are not human. Human beings have agency. These people chose to be terrorists. There is no excuse, and the victims of their terrorism are not to blame.
Humans are animals, push any of us far enough and you'll see. As said: It's easy to moralise from your desk.
…also, who are you talking about? Cutting off an area's water supply counts as terrorism in my book. Please clarify.
