Israel said early Friday that it plans to take over Gaza City in another escalation of its 22-month war with Hamas. The decision, taken after a late-night meeting of top officials, came despite mounting international calls to end the war and protests by many in Israel who fear for the remaining hostages held by Hamas.
Why is this being called a war? To my knowledge, Palestine is not currently recognized as a nation. That aside from the one-sided atrocities committed against civilians…
It’s a war in the same way that Nazi Germany was at war with the Jews.
True, but that’s not the context in which it’s being referenced in this case.
Definition of war from Oxford dictionary:
a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.
Maybe I’m just not hearing about the Palestinian side of the armed conflict, but is that part still happening? This has felt very one sided for a long while.
It is literally “Israel” and US, UK, Germany, France, Canada, Italy attacking mostly children and women, and lately killing people looking for food.
That’s not a requirement for a war. Civil wars, for example, do not have international belligerents by definition.
To the surprise of no one paying attention.
Retake is quite the word to describe an invasion.
Can someone tell, when and where is the next demonstration in Germany? Preferably in BW, but could be anywhere.
Also, where could I find such information? If I search for demonstrations, I only find articles about past events.
I’d also appreciate if anyone has ideas what else to do, because currently demonstrations and donations are the only things I can do, but it still feels like I’m not doing anything.
The helplessness is so fuckin’ frustrating, it’s beyond imagination. The inaction is killing me.
One countries hostages another countries prisoners of war
