Most people from the west could see the atrocities with their eyes or have them happen to their children and they still wouldn't condemn Israel, the brainwashing is that powerful.
I've always wondered how those historical atrocities were allowed to happen, I always thought it was from another era that we were different now. Now I know. by chaosbolt 4 minutes ago

Article title: “IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid”
There is a difference between being ordered to “shoot someone,” which to me at least always signals intent to kill, and to “shoot at someone,” which does not always (and from what the article describes, does not in this case) signal intent to kill.
The body of the article describes warning shots. As described there seems to be callous disregard for casualties, and that’s worthy of condemnation. But especially for such an inflammatory topic, it is willfully dishonest for the submitter to change the title to something the article doesn’t say. by charbroiled 6 minutes ago
Direct quote. They are also firing SHELLS for warning:
> In one incident, the soldier was instructed to fire a shell toward a crowd gathered near the coastline. "Technically, it's supposed to be warning fire – either to push people back or stop them from advancing," he said. "But lately, firing shells has just become standard practice. Every time we fire, there are casualties and deaths, and when someone asks why a shell is necessary, there's never a good answer. Sometimes, merely asking the question annoys the commanders." by dist-epoch 1 minute ago
This isn't ambiguous. This is really clear evidence of (at minimum) an atrocious and continuing war crime with full intentionality. Realistically, it is more likely explicitly genocidal in intent.

The news from Palestine are atrocious; a genocide is unfolding before our eyes, and world leaders are doing nothing to stop it.
