    What a joke. Limited and targeted. Always target civilians but not limited. What a load of sh.. from Jake.

    We just heard a doctor at that hospital in Rahfa tell us that there were no militants in that hospital or around it, They we’re moving out because the shelling was near the hospital.

    "Protecting civilians " , nice joke 😂😂
  • @RKS454
    They urge, press, and discuss. Never demand. Lets just be honest. They can do whatever they want to the last living thing
  • What else can Isreali do! Let their soldiers be sitting ducks. They sent written invitations to gaza inhabitants

    @0:45 If the Hamas militants are in the tunnels under the civilian infrastructures (i.e. schools, hospitals etc), then exactly how does that put the Palestinian "civilians in the crossfire"? Surely, the 2000 pound bombs can't destroy the tunnels, but just destroy the buildings. That is direct fire against civilians, not crossfire. So where is the crossfire? I would understand this statement if the IDF was actually going into the tunnels to fight Hamas and somehow the Palestinian civilians were also inside the tunnels (perhaps sheltering from the 2000 pound bombs). But oh, that would be too dangerous for the IDF, wouldn't it?

    Israel urges the white house to do more to protect American citizens and their rights under the constitution of the United States.

    Benjamin Netanyahu thinks all 1.2 million civilians are Hamas
  • @conniedean3787
    Its utterly unacceptable, wow its shocking, disgusting, criminal, war crimes against humanity, to destroy aide from getting into Gaza 😢
  • @sunny71169
    Right! Israel should try and limit civilian casualties the way the US did when it dropped atom bombs on Japan (around 129K to 210K dead ), , fire bombed Tokyo (100k civilians dead, and 1 million injured) , invaded Okinawa (150K dead civilians) and fire bombed Dresden (25K to 35K killed). Yes indeed, the US has the high ground on telling Israel to protect "civilians" in Gaza.
  • @einherjar8585
    I don't think IDF has the competency and ability, nor the empathy and discipline, to avoid mass civilian casualties and starvation. Israel's is not that great a fighting force. Listen to Natenyahu's absolute disrespect for Americans, in particular, and anyone else that speaks for civilians and restraint. His Israel only cares about grifting money and weapons and making a bad situation worse.

    The Biden Administration appeals are like asking Jeffery Dahmer not to eat so fast.
