Israel has cut off the internet and phone lines for Gaza. There's a massive Israeli bombardment happening in the north. Twitter reckons the ground invasion is happening tonight.

Israeli settlers are using the current crisis to force farmers off their land or kill them.

Why is this not bloody obvious to everyone, what a shitty world we live in.

Netanyahu and his military leaders should be held up for war crimes along with Hammas.

Can you imagine the outcry if this was Russia doing this?

The UN has consistently allowed Israel to do what it wants.

No action will be taken for the numerous breaches of international law.

I found this to be an interesting read....

Israel has bombed 45 bakeries so far. They've taken out every water station. This morning they destroyed the fishing fleet and port. They're not allowing any aid in to Gaza

It's clear what they're doing.

I'm hoping Israel's right to defend itself is extended to the Hague.

That's one way to put a paint matters in a positive light, I suppose.

[Kwacky]

How is forcefully removing millions of people out of their homes and businesses ever going to be painted in a positive light?

[D41]

They're giving it their best shot, lubricated or not.

[duke63]

Says it all really.

There's been a shooting at the Superbowl Parade.

[D41]

It's worth mentioning that it happened NEAR the parade route, not actually ON the parade route, as several news outlets have seemed to be inferring.
It happened after the parade was over, and is the end result of some as yet unspecified criminal activity.
And it's Kansas City....

[Kwacky]

That's fine then. Just another shooting

[StMarks]

That's fine then. Just another shooting

Apparently there's an average of over 300 people per day shot in America.!
So, in perspective, that would be "just another 1x dead & 20 injured".
