“It's absolute carnage here," a British doctor at a Gaza hospital says, adding all injuries are gunshot wounds.

At least 31 people have been killed after Israeli tanks opened fire near an aid centre in Gaza, Hamas-run health ministry says, and 150 Palestinians have also been injured, according to the Red Cross hospital in Rafah.

Is it time for intervention to stop the massacres ?

Israel will do what they always do and claim they was all hamas fighters and how the IDF always do everything to prevent loss of innocent lives.

Yeh just. read the report.

I consider the IDF had intel of Hamas hiding among the population, so shot everyone.

Its the only way to be sure.

Hmm, that's odd. The Guardian article says in the above post says "At least three injured Palestinians", but the op says 31 killed and 150 injured. Is this a different story, or where did the 31 killed and 150 injured happen?

"Just been watching a video on BBC news showing gunmen firing in and at the crowd definitely not idf"

But a man called Mohammed Ghareeb from the Hamas-run health ministry says 31 killed and over 150 injured by the IDF, so it must be true.

According to the Guardian:

The International Committee of the Red Cross said its field hospital in Rafah received a “mass casualty influx” of 179 people, 21 of whom were declared dead upon arrival.

“All patients said they had been trying to reach an aid distribution site,” the ICRC added, describing it as “the highest number of weapon-wounded in a single incident since the establishment of the field hospital over a year ago”.

Just look at where the so called us/Israeli food distribution places have been put and then to expect starving people form an orderly que for food. Anyone with half a brain cell knows people are going to try n get food quick as possible it's just another ploy for the IDF to open fire.

As usual confusion has been caused so know one knows what the actual truth is, I believe Israel are stating that masked gunman shot these people. but medical staff who were interviewed by C4 news tonight state that survivors told them that idf ships were also attacking them as they lay on the sand so they had mystery gunmen and idf ships firing from the sea.

Go check it to on catch up.

"Mayhap Israel could let independent journalists into Gaza to see for themselves."

There’s enough footage coming out. People shot queuing for food, a GP mother’s nine children killed, three children shot in their beds, another 632,000 displaced again (3rd time).

It seems pretty obvious that the plsn is to make the situation in Gaza impossible to survive and to compress two million people into a tiny area right next to the Egyptian border. Then the IDF will open their side of the border and attack from the north.

What seems to he happening, is that the new aid delivery method has pissed off Hamas, who previously had control of the food - as such they're trying to hang onto power by using force, and hoping the IDF will get blamed for their violence.

Additionally, because the only news leaving the strip also has to be approved by Hamas, that mainstream news agencies are becoming mouthpieces for terrorist groups.

Atleast the BBC now says the news comes from Hamas ( the terrorist organisation) for the first year or so they refused to acknowledge this.

Even you know you are talking bollocks.

The IDF have already admitted that they shot people for "deviating from the designated access routes"

The line that the Palestinians are shooting themselves in some elaborate false flag operation isn't believable by anyone not drinking the Kool-Aid.

Ultimately if the Israeli government want to assure the outside world about what's really going on in Gaza they should let independent journalists observe for themselves. We all know why they won't.

If the IDF deliberately shot a baby in a stroller the Israeli Government would announce that Hamas were using highly trained "fighter babies" in their attacks on the peace keeping IDF and it was thus self defence.

If Hamas had a heavily armed fighter with an AK47, grenades and a RPG killed they would say it was an 11 year old boy, bravely running from one hospital to another, carrying a donar heart for his younger sister who lay dying.

Truth is the first casualty of war. However, one thing is clear. In a battle zone hesitation is going to get you killed. The IDF do not wait for shots at them before firing, it would pay all the people of Gaza remember this.

The truth will out in the end. It always does. The images from Gaza of devastation and civilian casualties will eventually be verified (why won't Israel allow news agencies into Gaza if they have nothing to hide?). Once the world realises the callous recklessness with which Israel have conducted themselves in this war, their reputation is in tatters.

I have eyes and common sense so hope doesn't come into it. You think the images of a land laid waste are fake? Or that there are not associated civilian casualties at an alarming level? The world is sitting on it's hands averting it's gaze from genocide, or at least something that's perilously close.

"why won't Israel allow news agencies into Gaza if they have nothing to hide?"

I would say that allowing journalists into a war zone means they have to keep them safe.

I've met journalists and photographers who served in the middle east, and heard stories of them caught in the crossfire and shot or blown up - and that's in open desert rather than built-up urban areas.

Someone would need to guide them; I doubt they'd be able to just run around doing their own thing - so who would be responsible for their well-being once they're in there, and who would be held to account when the safeguarding fails?

Nowhere appears safe, today Gaza’s food hub suspended operations as Israel declares access routes ‘combat zones’. The refugee camps have been bombed.

First responder medics shot and buried to cover up the murders. Israeli atrocities are on par with ISIS, albeit on a much larger scale. There’s a group of statisticians now estimating civilian deaths at 95,000.

"why won't Israel allow news agencies into Gaza if they have nothing to hide?

I would say that allowing journalists into a war zone means they have to keep them safe.

I've met journalists and photographers who served in the middle east, and heard stories of them caught in the crossfire and shot or blown up - and that's in open desert rather than built-up urban areas.

Someone would need to guide them; I doubt they'd be able to just run around doing their own thing - so who would be responsible for their well-being once they're in there, and who would be held to account when the safeguarding fails?

"

It's an accepted risk of journalist to get themselves into war zones to determine the facts. There are protocols to identify and safeguard journalists. The reason Israel doesn't want them in Gaza is because they fear the true facts emerging and their acts genocide exposed for the world to see.

BBC journalists in war zones have ex military bodyguards, SF level. A mate is a mortgage broker and arranged a mortgage for one, over £120k salary (that was over 10 years ago) guarding cameraman and journo. I’d imagine same or similar for other news outlets. The only reason they are not allowed is what you have said, others suggesting it’s security is BS

"I remember telling a friend of mine what would happen as soon as that October seventh thing happened. Which in itself was a monstrosity, but I knew the response would be a lot lot worse. I said they wouldn’t stop until Gaza had been totally flattened, and all the people were all dead.

From the river to the sea huh? There won’t be no Gaza, that’s what it will be.

USA has supplied all the bombs to enable this

UK RAF has reportedly run 500 sortees identifying targets for the IDF to bomb

Through our tax’s this is on our name too. "

Have you got a link to an article for the raf? I'd be keen on reading.

Yet again the USA have used their veto to block a proposal calling for a immediate and permanent ceasefire at the un security council.

Rhetorical question... Was that a Palestinian living in Gaza working for Al Jazeera as a journalist?

Hamas committed an atrocity against those Israeli civilians and they should be held to account and action was rightly taken!

But Isreal have taken this way too far and I’m my opinion have committed genocide against the Palestinian people.

By all means fight Hamas but they have to do it the hard way not just by bombing civilians and starving the people.

It has to be stopped now and the government of Isreal held to account!

Reports emerging on channel 4 news that Israel have been arming a rival jihadi group in Gaza in areas controlled by the IDF. When asked a Israeli government minister wouldn't deny the claims Netanyahu is playing a dangerous game these jihadists hate Israel.

Al Jazeera denied he worked for them - but they forgot they actually had a page about him on their website. :D

Other media outlets such as the Palestine Chronicle also admitted he had worked for them - they expressed sadness at his loss, but made no mention of why he was killed.

It wasn't propaganda.

The body of a Thai hostage that was held by a Palestinian militant group called the Mujahideen Brigades, and was retrieved from the area of Rafah in southern Gaza this week.

Clearly not a Jew, why are the Islam’s taking and killing foreign nationals.

2 interesting things have happened over the last 48 hrs

Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand (in effect 4/5ths of five eyes) have in coordination placed sanctions on 2 Israeli government ministers

Also… us ambassador to Israel has said that the us now believe there is no option to the two states solution… and that a land for Palestinians should be carved out of another Muslim state…..

Good but sadly the sanctions won't have much effect on these 2 nazi's and it also shows just how far the USA are out of touch with the rest of the world. They have used their veto 6 times against the unsc to stop the fighting.

How would a 2 state solution work? In my opinion it wont work, but happy to hear how it could work.

This has been suggested before - with Sinai being put forward as the best option, maybe in return for cancelling the Egyptian national debt.

Loads of space for development and potential for prosperity - sounds like a great idea, although I'd hope for a more carrot and less stick approach when getting people to move there.

It is a very tight space unless the boundary is moved further down from the Egypt / Israel border and Egypts tourism would take a hit.

from the top of my head as I've done this before but too lazy to google at the moment...

Sinai is about 60,000 sq km

Judea and Samaria (west bank) is less than 6000 sq km

Gaza is less thank 400 sq km

Population of Sinai is less under 2 million

Population of Gaza and West Bank is about 5 million.

You could fit something like 10 West Banks into Sinai.

I could have been clearer..

The north is tight, in terms of borders, I have walked into Israel from Egypt and Jordan is not much further by water.

Egypt would need to agree and I can't see that happening.

This is true - which is why cancelling their national debt might be a sweetener. State building will take decades though, so still not ideal.

Although the threat of them being pushed into the region might make them wake up a bit to their refugee responsibilities.

If it wasn't for Black September they'd stand a better chance of integrating into Jordan; part of Palestine until the British gave the region to the Hashemites, and already with a 75% Palestinian Arab population.
