Israeli air strikes on a so-called “humanitarian zone” in southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi killed at least 40 people on Tuesday, according to health authorities in the enclave.

The strikes targeted at least 20 tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal area near the city of Khan Younis.

Eyewitnesses told AFP that at least five rockets fell in the area, with emergency services saying the strikes created craters up to nine metres deep.

    Ignoring your comment since you’re misrepresenting my argument. No need to address anything you said, this is simply an attempt to reframe my concern that criticism of Hamas is met with whataboutism.

    Just look at the soap box this user takes advantage of when I say no one should use human shields. “Yea Hamas does it, but Israel???”

      Tell me what criticism of Hamas accomplishes then. They went and killed a thousand innocent Israelis, they hide among civilians, resulting in said civilians deaths. What now? Do I get a gold star for pointing out the terrorists? Do the dead get to cheer that their death meant another Hamas militant died (or didn’t in the case of this article)?Are the living supposed to feel grateful to Israel that their family and friends are dead, needless to say hateful towards Hamas for hiding amongst them? What is the goal here? What are me, and the dozens of other people here, missing that only you seem to see?

And again I will point it out, this entire thread started when you saw an article takling about Israel’s recent mistake, and said “But why isn’t anyome criticising Hamas?”

          There’s proof it’s a mistake? Also, misrepresenting my argument. It’s getting more and more clear what’s going on here…

          Also, I think you meant to reply to me, not yourself?

              I’m really done with you now, you are simply wasting my time trying to distract from discussion.

                That’s really it? I thought it would actually be something important. I actually even agreed with your criticism of Hamas. Like, it’s been needless to say that criticism of Hamas has been had already, since way before this thread. Since October 7th even. Your time is being wasted because you wasted it yourself.

                  Edit: downplaying the quite evident problem here where if you are critical of Hamas your argument is shut down with whataboutism and accusations of justifying genocide.

                    I’m saying that you are bringing back a discussion had many times over and trying to claim that no one has had it. It’s redundant. The article is about an action by Israel, of course the discussion is gonna be about that action.

        An argument expressing the futility of criticizing Hamas while attempting to redirect criticism towards Israel… Now that’s funny.

        Edit: lol like I need to entertain these whataboutisms… Demanding answers…
