Israel’s military has bombed another United Nations-run school as well as an Israeli-designed “safe-zone” in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 42 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others, according to Palestinian officials.

The Israeli attacks on Tuesday hit the UN’s al-Razi school in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and a main street lined with market stalls in the southern al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced Palestinians had sought shelter.

Aren't schools and hospitals supposed to be safe and protected.... What about the Geneva convention? We throwing that out the window because it's Isreal?

south africa and ireland are taking them to international court, but at the end of the day, it is the countries that actually have people/resources/power to enforce the court's orders. And nobody is willing to invade Israel to bring them to justice (and bring their leadership to the courthouse). Almost all countries in the UN signed treaties promising they would enforce arrest orders, but when push comes to shove, nobody wants to be the one to do it. Israeli offivials can go visit their allies freely

Israel: bombs yet another school full of children

World: you know? Maybe we should ban Israeli people from our businesses because it gives us bad press to accept people from a country that bombs schools

Israel: Why do businesses ban our people as if we were some kind of bad country? [surprised_pikachu.jpg]

One could wonder why israel keeps designating "Hamas bases" as safe zones after they claim to have fully cleared those areas out.

Almost like israel is just terror bombing schools full of children for no reason except being a Nazi terror state.

These fuckers have been surpassing the SS forces in by taking utmost joy in killing defenseless children as point blank. What more can they do at this point?

I mean they have a reason: genocide and land theft.

Schools and an education population are important for a society. It’s part of Israel’s systematic campaign of attacking every institution of Palestine.
