Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s
al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities
in the enclave. The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced
Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis. Eyewitnesses told
AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying
the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.
You can’t remain civil with people trying to downplay genocide through deflection, downscale, and redirection.
If you are trying to articulate why this bothers you, the reader, as it does me then allow me to attempt an articulation:
Giving this person free reign is not civility but license to exercise the normalization of genocide by painting its dissidents as irrational and uncouth; a license to dehumanize the victims of genocide as lost causes because Hamas has disqualified them from human protections.

According to them they also aren’t pro idf as they use all the IDF talking points.
