I am starting a splinter group because I found the rules of "Israel and Palestine Politics Discussion" to be somewhat restrictive.

How is war in Ukraine having international hate and this one being just ignored? Same crimes against peaceful people should have same consequences, no?

Israel is a client state, Russia is a rival state

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Israel’s effort to root out members of Hamas in the wake of its Oct. 7 attack has come at a staggering cost: 36,000 dead and counting, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

In recent months, more than a million Palestinians, including 600,000 children, were pushed by Israel into makeshift shelters in the so-called “safe zone” in Southern Gaza.

“They are physically spent, they’re psychologically exhausted, their coping capacity has been smashed, they are in some sort of overdrive in terms of ‘How do I get through this?’ And then, there’s a direct bombardment that turns into this inferno and, I mean, literally: It is hell on Earth,” says Elder.

On Monday, Huster said, “military activities continued to intensify” to the extent that they were forced to close the triage unit and transfer all patients to nearby field hospitals.

Huster describes people moving by the thousands along a beach road out of Western Rafah in recent days: “Mayhem might be a strong word, but it is completely chaotic.”

One nearby hospital, Huster says, lost electricity for hours after it ran out of fuel, forcing medical providers to manually ventilate patients with an inflatable bag.
