Whatever happened to Israel having to prove to the ICJ they are letting sufficient aid in? Why is nothing happening, shouldn’t there be consequences for this? I know Israel generally doesn’t see consequences but it also generally doesn’t have to comply with an ICJ ruling…

At this point the official death toll can only be a severe undercount.

Oh absolutely. I can't imagine how many people were buried under collapsed buildings or just blown to smithereens.

Also a tangent but it made me think of how back in October the CBC was publishing a graph of Palestinian deaths vs Israeli deaths for the first few weeks, then they suddenly stopped including the graph when Palestinian deaths rose to 3 or 4 times the Israeli deaths.

Israel is trash

I like how you can just ignore the UN if you're a US ally.

Because they will do it themselves ... Right?

We'll drown Gaza in food

-Some Israeli or the other. Now someone calculate the caloric value of a 2000 pound bomb.
