TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
The strike only added to the surging international criticism Israel has faced over its war with Hamas, with even its closest allies expressing outrage at civilian deaths. Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake,” Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament. “We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy.”
Mohammed Abuassa, who rushed to the scene in the northwestern neighborhood of Tel al-Sultan, said rescuers “pulled out people who were in an unbearable state.”
“We pulled out children who were in pieces. We pulled out young and elderly people. The fire in the camp was unreal,” he said.
Pretty sure it’s time someone glassed Israel.
The answer to the ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is not more ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians
Does glass ng mean attacking civilians? I don’t know. But if you say war is bad etc etc, then we would’ve been living in a whole different nazi world.
The answer to ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is more ruthless killing of oppressors.
Glass is referring to nuking Israel. You can’t nuke a country without killing a fuck ton of civilians.
Wait really? I thought glassing means beating up people with a broken bottle
I know of the Scottish slang meaning to hit someone usually by headbutting. Never knew the nuke meaning.
Same. I’m literally getting downvoted for asking it’s meaning lol
No, it’s when you bomb the shit out of something so much that only glass remains. It’s usually referring to nukes because they get hot enough to turn sand to glass.
Israel’s atrocity is mass murdering civilians. Calling for the same as a response is horrible.
They didn’t say anything about civilians
You know that glassing the country means nuking it, right?
You do know civilians live in the country that they said to glass, right?
You know that means ALL the civilians would die, right?
Right?
Yes, but in reality nobody is going to nuke anybody, and certainly not because a random internet user vents their frustration at the situation with a clearly metaphorical and exaggerated request. Your reply was an overly literal reading of the comment, like replying to “go fuck yourself” with “…you realize that’s not possible, right?”
I simply replied to your literal interpretation with a literal interpretation of my own.
That makes literally no sense.
That’s the point
You can’t nuke a country without killing civilians.
Sure you can, move the civilians out first.
You’re suggesting the complete displacement of every civilian in Israel, which is pretty fucked.
No, they can return after the country has been glassed.
Return to what, exactly? A barren radioactive wasteland?
Of course a nuked country will be a nuked country. That’s beside the point, moving the goalposts.
Fuck that shit. We are better than that. Despite all the Zionists efforts we will not let them kill our humanity like they want.
Stop the Genocide! End the Occupation! Create a Free Palestine! Give back the stolen Land! Compensate all Victims and put all criminals to justice!
