Israel Hamas War, West Bank, Etc. | Hostilities resume

Yeah, I'm sure the israeli government will get right on that "fundimentally changing their rules of engagement" idea.

All we've done is constantly draw and redraw a line in the sand then send a strongly worded email to israel to not step over it or else only to see israel step over the line

Nothing will change unless and until we stop sending them weapons and subsidizing a shitton of their public programs (among other things)

In other words, manslaughter? Crazy and yet utterly predictable that the IDF considers this a satisfactory resolution — our bad but we have to shoot wildly into crowds when we see a legit* target is consistent with bombing dozens or hundreds of civilians to get a few enemy combatants.

IIRC, isn't that type of homicide (formarly known as depraved heart murder) typically charged as 2nd degree murder in a majority of jurisidictions? I mean I'm sure you're not wrong that some jurisdicitons classify it as 1st degree manlaughter but I sure as hell don't remember which ones or how many.

Why do we have Netanyahu address Congress yesterday as if he is a U.S. president giving a State of the Union speech? Interposing FDR's words of 'a day that will live in infamy' in the same dwelling is presumptuous at best. Do we really need Netanyahu lecturing Americans about protest? Is this not the man who financed HAMAS for years because he mistakenly thought he could control them? Netanyahu is who he has always been and that alone should keep him out of the chamber of the House of Representatives.

Israel Defends Strike on School Compound as Condemnation Mounts

The United Nations criticized the strike, which killed 18 people including six of its workers. Israel said the former school it targeted had become a haven for militants.

Another example where independent investigators are needed. Again, Israel blocks them from coming in. This allows them to use the Hamas excuse for all their war crimes.

But Al Jazeera is ok?

I'm not sure you're using that quote in the way you think. It seems to be contrary to the way you always describe your perspective in this conflict.

Maybe the "qu'" is throwing you off?

I wasn't referring to the article source. I was referring to actual investigators to investigate the bombing. I was saying that Israel can claim Hamas was there, but since they don't allow investigators there, then no one can dispute their claims and they expect us to take their word for it.

I understand. I was referring to you posting an Al-Jazeera source, with no commentary then questioning the NYT source.

Sorry, I should have made it clearer that I was questioning Israel's reasoning and not the article itself.

This was in the West Bank. Attacks like this have increased lately and the Israeli army allows it to happen, and at times, punishes the Palestinians that try to defend themselves.

Of course Rai, how dare they stand up for their rights.

Israel somehow figured out how to make hundreds of Hezbollah pagers explode simultaneously.

Pagers Explode Across Lebanon in Apparent Attack on Hezbollah

The attack killed 11 people, including a young girl. Officials briefed on the operation say Israeli operatives planted explosives in pagers Hezbollah bought from a Taiwanese company. Israel declined to comment.

400 explosions or 400 affected?

From the videos I've seen, I'm guessing at least 400 explosions. Individual pagers appeared to be programed to detonate simultaneously.
