LONDON — Landmark buildings around Europe, including 10 Downing Street in London and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, have lit up with the Israeli flag — and some cities have seen pro-Palestinian protests — as governments across the continent convened emergency meetings to respond to the conflict in Israel and Gaza.

      Bombing civilian targets, collective punishment, stealing land and earlier a slow moving genocide. Now if they block electricity, food and water from Gaza for an extended period it will a fast moving genocide. And I’m sure I’ve missed a few. There are no innocents in this conflict. Except for the dead civilians. On both sides.

        I’m Gaza, Hamas hosts it’s government in Civilian facilities in order to use them as human shields. That makes them military targets according the the Geneva convention. The blockade is extreme but Israel didn’t start this war and it’s clear that Hamas has found a way to smuggle military supplies in with civilian freight. And Israel has given back 100% of the land in the Gaza strip. The strip has the 1967 borders. Israeli authorities evicted every jew from the region, some forcibly by gunpoint to secure peace.

        If these attacks were coming from the West Bank, maybe we could “both sides” this shit. But they’re coming from Gaza which has had every logical prerequisite for peace for decades and chosen not to go down the path of peace.
