An Israeli air strike has hit al-Ahli hospital in Gaza City where thousands of civilians are seeking medical treatment and shelter from relentless attacks.

Gaza health ministry says at least 500 casualties in hospital blast. A UN-run school housing refugees also struck.

The attack comes a day before US President Joe Biden visits Israel, where he is expected to stress American support for the country.

A planned summit with President Biden in Jordan has been cancelled, the Jordanian government says.

Some 3,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Hamas’s October 7 attack inside Israel, which has killed more than 1,400.

    this leaves only two outcomes.

    Either be killed by terrorists, or dissolve your entire society and nation state.

    Israel would of course not see either of these solutions as options.

    I am not being disingenuous, I acknowledged history. I am not blind to the motivations of either party. These latest events were started by choice, when any other action could have been chosen but to behead children in diapers.

    According to your answer, the only right act appears to be dissolving their entire country and giving it to the people who kidnapped their people in this latest round of violence. I can’t think this makes sense in any other situation, so it’s can’t here.

    Something between doing nothing and what they are doing as middle ground in response has to exist as an option that is acceptable.

    If the only option is complete dissolution of a nation state to avoid bloodshed, it is effectively not an option. Propose a solution that isn’t the continued deaths and is not the total dissolution of a nation state, which no nation in earth would agree to.

    What exists as an option in response besides these two extremes?

      Either be killed by terrorists, or dissolve your entire society and nation state.

      alternatively;

      Either be ruthlessly murdered by freedom fighters, or dissolve your illegal, terroristic occupation.

      Build a new jewrusalem/jewlandia out in the desert. With blackjack, and hookers. Israel gets 3.8 billion a year just from the US. Hire a fuckin contractor that isn’t a defense contractor for once.

      lol Lemmy is completely filled with trash you cannot even get a proper answer to your question. The “free palestine” and “think of the children” faction demands Israel stops defending itself and just roll over and die. They cannot provide a workable solution.
