Over 100 Israelis have died and more than 900 were injured after rockets were fired from Gaza by Hamas militants, Israeli officials said Saturday.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said 198 were killed in Gaza and at least 1,610 were injured Saturday in retaliatory attacks from Israel.

"We are at war. We will win," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces earlier declared "a state of alert for war," according to a statement issued by the IDF.

"Over the past hour, the Hamas terrorist organization launched massive barrages of rockets from Gaza into Israel, and its terrorist operatives have infiltrated into Israel in a number of different locations in the south," the IDF said early Saturday.

If my memory isn't failing: then Israel will bomb some apartments, raid and beat some holy sites, eventually call a ceasefire before all the civilians die from lack of food, water, and power, then build more checkpoints and fenced off areas, and finally we'll be right back here again in a few years until there are no more Palestinians.

So to answer your question, yes. If it weren't for the UN I really truly believe Israel would just commit genocide.

You've obviously consumed a lot of internet propaganda originating from Iran.

Israel's intent were actually genocide they could simply drop a nuke on Gaza and there would be nothing the UN could do to stop it. They don't do that because their intent isn't on genocide.

Also the UN cannot be in Israel without the consent of Israel. Nations have ultimate sovereignty over their territory there is nothing about the UN that supersedes national sovereignty. Seems you've also fallen prey to the "black helicopter" UN conspiracy theories, just you think UN black helicopters are a good thing. The reality is they don't exist, UN peacekeepers are only where they are because nations have agreed to their presence to observe the other party of a treaty (and will allow themselves to be likewise observed) to ensure they are complying.

You should take some time to learn about how things work in the world instead of just believing everything you read on social media. The can provide tools that nations can use to facilitate peace, but the nations themselves decide whether to use those tools.

Israel

Literally sent

Netanyahu

To Court

Over This

What the hell kind of Iranian Propoganda originates in the courts of Israel?! He was literally removed from power because of the corruption trials.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Israel sends Netanyahu to court over many things. He's a really crooked dude. So you're gonna have to narrow down which specific case you're going on about.

[–] doctorcrimson@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LMAO

Is your account shared? Because 5 hours ago you were saying his overt corruption was Iranian Propoganda.
