Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.

    Picture a bank hostage situation. Police officer comes in with a fully loaded gun. A bank teller is being held at gunpoint by the robber. Never once in the history of ever has the police officer shot the bank teller.

    That’s what Israel is doing.

      Thanks for clarifying for me. Didn’t realize it was such a simple scenario like a bank robbery.

        You clearly can’t grasp the real complicated scenario so he gave you a simplified version to make it easier to understand.

        Anyone with even an ounce of empathy understands why Israel bombing children is always unacceptable. Nobody should need to explain it to you really

          So, which is less acceptable:

          Hamas, a military threat to Israel who hides behind children.

          Or

          Israel, a country with a military who is responding to military threats in a way a military would.

          BTW, my original post is asking questions, but you Lemmy Users just keep making it seem I’m pro Israel just for asking.

            But is Israels actions appropriate? Indiscriminate bombing across all of Gaza? Collective punishment? If they really wanted to A) save hostages and B) take out those responsible, they could do a surgical strike with special forces. Raining hellfire upon innocent people just because their might be hamas there is absolutely disgusting.
