    Besides Joe Biden or the Israeli government, I've yet to see anyone suggest the reported numbers are an overestimation.
    Frankly, I think the number is far greater than 11,000 dead. Probably an order of magnitude greater once you start counting all the people who have died because there's no longer any functional medical facilities or potable water in the entire Gaza.

    Israel has dropped over 25,000 tons of high explosives on Gaza, destroying over 45% of the housing stock in the territory - Israeli and UN sources on that. Every one of those apartment blocks had people in it, so yeah, I'd say Israel has killed a lot of people. How many? Who knows, but I'm certainly not going to trust Israeli or Biden Administration sources. Or you, for that matter.

    Current Israeli governing coalition will say no. I mean, there's no chance. This seems more like a face saving effort by Biden to say "well, we tried"

    Decent piece here:

    I agree but if push comes to shove I don’t think israel is going to stonewall the UN. This is something Biden can, and should get done. Also there’s a good chance after the war the far right of Israel takes a hit, new PM hopefully would be more receptive to the idea

    Yes, they aren't the same religion, Hezbollah doesn't expressly represent Palestinians (they style themselves Shia resistance fighters), and both organizations hold deep resentments towards the other because of Syria.

    I didn't say they weren't, what I'm saying is that you could very easily take all of that without bloodshed and it certainly isn't a reason to drop 500lb bombs near or around schools

    The one incredibly tiny bright spot amongst the wanton slaughter of innocent people is that it seems like many in most western media outlets, at least not the blood thirsty far-right ones, have slowly been pushing back against the typical Israeli bullshit they've endorsed in years past.

    I’m glad I’ve never been blamed for all of George W Bush’s war crimes or Obama’s indiscriminate drone strikes or all the awful things the CIA does. It makes a hell of a lot more sense that I would be rather than claiming thousands of deceased children were Hamas supporters and responsible for October 7th.

    I mean, yes, but you certainly don't need to travel all the way back to 1948 to find examples of Israeli terrorism. Besides the whole "deliberate bombing of civilians with high explosives and white phosphorus" which I would certainly characterize as terrorism... there's also Israeli Far Right death squads, sorry "settlers," operating in the West Bank arbitrarily murdering olive farmers. But since the perpetrators aren't Muslim, they "somehow" escape the terrorism characterization.

    My point was that when the Israelis were in a similar position to where the Palestinians are now, stateless, they acted in exactly the same way - a significant portion of them turned to terrorism and were considered terrorists by the international community because of their actions 1946-48. Illini handwaves Israel's atrocities and handwrings Hamas' atrocities as if Israel has the high moral ground, which they most certainly do not. Now they do their killing under the guise of state action with artillery and airstrikes, as you noted, which gives them a sense of legitimacy in the eyes of some. I also suspect some lingering sense of Holocaust Guilt, which tends to steer people in the direction of seeing the Jews/Israelis as perpetual victims instead of potential aggressors/oppressors. When they say "Never again," it refers specifically to the Jews/Israelis; when we say it, it should refer to everybody.
