Adding to the mountain of evidence that Israel is engaged in a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera on Thursday aired footage of what the news outlet reported was an Israeli drone targeting four Palestinians in Khan Younis last month.
Those killed by the unmanned aerial vehicle in the rubble of the southern Gaza city appear to be unarmed teenagers or young men. According to a translation of the coverage, they were not identified in the reporting.
Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”
If that’s their goal, aren’t they progressing rather slowly? Gaza’s population is growing, not diminishing.
Yeah that’s a bit hyperbolic. They just want to force them out. Just a little ethnic cleansing.
No no no they just want to kill Hamas. If they kill everyone they see, then chances are they will eventually kill all Hamas as well. /s
Yeah, that’s certainly easier to imagine.
Gazas population isn’t currently growing, over 32,000 Palestinians have been killed since October
“Intent to destroy in part or whole”. Number doesn’t matter, and consequently neither does not keeping up with population growth it’s still genocide.
Israel was founded on Settler Colonialism and ethnic cleansing, both fundamental to Zionism
