The Middle Eastern satellite television station Al Jazeera reported on the 10th that an Israeli airstrike had hit a school in Gaza City in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, killing more than 100 people. The military claims it targeted a command post of the Islamic group Hamas, but many residents had taken refuge in the school. The United States and other countries are calling for the resumption of ceasefire talks, but there are fears that Hamas will further harden its stance. [Map] This is how much damage has been done to Gaza in just six months According to Al Jazeera, residents were holding pre-dawn prayers at the school when the airstrike occurred. A fire broke out and people were trapped inside the building, but rescue efforts were impossible due to a lack of water supply. The victims include children, women and the elderly. Gaza authorities strongly protested the attack, calling it a “massacre.” The Egyptian Foreign Ministry, which is mediating ceasefire negotiations with the United States and Qatar, issued a statement condemning Israel, saying “Israel is deliberately killing unarmed civilians and lacks the political will to end the fighting in Gaza.” The Israeli military has repeatedly attacked schools, claiming they are Hamas bases. According to the United Nations, as of early July, 477 schools in the Gaza Strip – more than 80 percent of the schools – had been directly attacked or damaged. Nearly 40,000 people have been killed on the Gaza side since fighting began in October last year. In a joint statement released on the 8th, the United States and two other countries called for negotiations to resume on the 15th. Israel has announced that it will send a delegation, but Hamas, whose supreme leader, Haniyeh, was killed at the end of July, has not made its stance clear. [Jerusalem Matsuoka Daichi]
>>50 In the first place, Iran is a unique country that has no allies, even among Arabs, so the more they sell weapons to anyone and increase conflict in the world, the safer their country will be.
Japan was bombed indiscriminately until they properly surrendered. They’ve launched numerous wars of aggression and lost every single one, so why are they so reluctant to admit defeat?
Whether it’s the Jews or the Buraku Liberation League, it’s really ironic that people who were persecuted in the past have become monsters who use that experience to wield their vested interests.
Hamas is trying to manipulate international public opinion by adopting a “flesh wall” strategy. In reality, the US has not been moved at all and has failed. In other words, they intentionally create hideouts and bases inside hospitals, schools, and evacuation centers, and use Palestinian residents as “components” of a “flesh wall” or “human shield.” To Hamas, Palestinian residents are not human beings, but merely “components” of a “flesh wall.”
