Google before and after satellite images of Gaza. Complete destruction of residential areas seems to be the intention of the bombing.

 
As mentioned in another thread recently, this is a deliberate intent to destroy everything so the Palestinians have nowhere to come back to in some areas.

There's no justification for destroying a structure if the enemy isn't in it.

You see entire blocks and other buildings being blown up in controlled demolitions and completely destroyed. The fact that the IDF has been able to rig these large structures up with explosives and bulldoze all surrounding areas, shows that there is no current threat from those buildings.
 
We're currently hearing about every broken window in Israel atm, but no mention of this or the 200,000 homes bombed in Lebanon by the victims of Arab hate.
 
The U.S. should not take sides in this conflict. The last time the U.S. took sides in a foreign war ended very badly for the U.S. - we lost the war and had to pull out with our tail between our legs. (re: Vietnam)

That cannot happen again. Trump is wise to keep America isolated from foreign conflicts.

It's OK to sell weapons and/or weapon systems to Israel, but America must never become directly involved in that war. Our Founding Fathers were crystal clear about that:

"Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations - - entangling alliances with none." - Thomas Jefferson

"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliance with any portion of the foreign world." - George Washington
 
This is nothing more than collateral damage from Israel’s noble goal of liberating Gaza from Nazism.

People criticize countries for trying to defeat Nazism all the time. Russians are accused of war crimes in Ukraine because of this. israelis are accursed of war crimes in Gaza because of this. Serbs are accused of war crimes in Croatia because of this. All of these accusations are BS.

In the words of Arkan, “I don’t give a damn.”
 
It's depressing to see the widespread damage on the live Google Maps site. I spent some time looking at imagery along the beach and in many areas the destruction is total. Very unfortunate.

Of course, it was also weird to click on pins for various cafes and restaurants and see review discussion asking questions like "are girls allowed here" (answer: no). I found the pin for a children's park with many lovely photos of young children playing on swings etc.... well, young boys that is. Not a girl to be seen anywhere. I have to remember that this is also a horribly repressive society, really no better than the Taliban and the like.

Victims of Arab hate is actually very accurate!

I agree. The Judeo-Bolsheviks who run international academia might object to what I am about to say because I “sound like Hitler” or whatever, but could it be that Palestinians are genetically predisposed to aggression? Palestinians cause trouble wherever they go; ask any Lebanese Christian! I am just asking questions—not making any definitive statements.

Judeo-Bolsheviks?

Two wrongs don't make a right. Genocide is not the answer to sexism.
