Polls show Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are more likely to agree that Israel is committing genocide in besieged Gaza than other age groups in the country.

INTENT. A mind is a shame to waste. You really should apologize to the trees for wasting the oxygen they work so hard to produce. BTW, there were not 26,000 deaths in Gaza and the 25,000 is including other causes of death.

Including other causes of death… Such as not having hospitals due to being bombed?

That’s even worse.

The number of people facing possible starvation in the Gaza Strip in the coming weeks is the largest share of a population at risk of famine identified anywhere since a United Nations-affiliated panel created the current global food-insecurity assessment 20 years ago.

“The rigor, scale and speed of the destruction of the structures necessary for survival, and enforcement of the siege, surpasses any other case of man-made famine in the last 75 years,” said Alex de Waal, an expert on humanitarian crises and international law at Tufts University who wrote “Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine.”

How would you feel if people in designated safe zones carrying a white flag get shot?

Would you take nytimes as a serious source that cites the Israeli military?.

The Israeli military identified the three hostages it mistakenly killed in Gaza on Friday as Yotam Haim and Alon Shamriz, taken from Kibbutz Kfar Aza during the Hamas-led assault on Oct. 7; and Samer Talalka, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Am.

That is behind a paywall but I’m aware of that incident. Again, what does my emotional reaction matter?

It’s not behind a paywall for me, sorry for that. But I have to ask, if you are aware of these kinds of incidents why did you ask for proof?

https://www.itv.com/news/2024-01-23/moment-civilian-brandishing-white-flag-in-gaza-safe-zone-is-shot-dead

The incident I originally thought about, the hostages were not shot in a safe zone as far as I can tell

Just to make the two things separate I’ll make separate comment for this.

Why it matters what you or I care:

We cannot know what other people feel the only tool we know is called empathy.

Having emotions based on facts is not necessarily bias. If what’s happening is revolting it is a natural and I’d say positive way of going about things by acting on this feeling by trying to end whatever is causing the feeling.

Israeli Intelligence Has Deemed Hamas-Run Health Ministry’s Death Toll Figures Generally Accurate

According to the Ministry of Health, which reports to Gaza’s Hamas-led government, at least 27,500 civilians have been killed and more than 63,000 wounded since Israel began military operations in response to the Oct. 7 attacks, which killed at least 1100 Israelis and left more than 250 people hostage.
