⚡️🇵🇸 NEW - Very intense morning in Khan Younis now.

Over 500 killed in Gaza by the Israeli army since Friday. Here's how Palestinians woke up on Monday morning in Khan Younis.

Moments ago, Israeli forces bombed multiple tents in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis—one of Gaza’s so-called “safe zones.”

A displaced Palestinian sheltering there with his 3-year old daughter and 1-year old son shared this video describing the horror of waking up to airstrikes.

senseless violence

Our taxes paying for this.

All the extra money they printing to send to Israel, bleeding us to fund genocide.

So much for "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life." People may think that's barbaric, but it was proportional and actually limiting on violence.

So to put it i perspective, there are 2 .1 millions and so far israel killed more than 40K, lets say they killed only 40K that means they killed 1.9% of the population. Now lets assume Russia did the same for the USA population which is 340 millions, and 1.9% of that is 6 millions and a half, so it is ok to have 6 million civil killed as a response for the USA attacking military bases of Russia that occupied lands of the USA?

No, you don't go by percentages. It is one life for one life.

What kind of logic is that exactly? Give me one area in USA that is as densly populated as Gaza to talk life for life in the first place.

This is an ancient principle of justice called the LEX TALIONIS, the law of retaliation. "An eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, life for life" is found in the 18th century BC Code of Hammurabi as well as in the law of Moses (ca. 15th century BC).

Then this principle justifies what Hamas did in 7th of October ....

Proportional? Limiting on violence? We’re talking about much more than 50,000 dead against a group of people with absolutely no mean to flee or fight back

My point is that a life for a life is justice. Approximately 1,175 Israelis were killed on October 7, 2023, so that has been FAR exceeded and Israel's response is WAY beyond justice.

I see how my use of "proportional" is confusing. What I mean is that "a life for a life", if followed, prevented disproportionate retaliation like we are witnessing from Israel.

Fuck Israel
