I'm shocked that this post went into negative points territory. It highlights the sentiment of the community here, that we don't even value the governance that was setup to maintain the checks and balances. An organisation tasked with gathering the evidence, checking the facts and then declaring a conclusion that can then be used arguably to convict war crimes is being criticised, incredible. What has happened to us? Listen, we can be disillusioned with the state of the world, but we have to realise that no solution is black or white, no outcome is immediately rectified, no criminal is caught and prosecuted at the time of the crime. And while we can be critical of the governing bodies created to deal with it, they are there for a reason, because the alternative is a wild wild west we don't want to go back to. What we're witnessing in terms of the starvation, bombardment and heinous acts are something humanity has worked tirelessly to avoid. We need to be optimistic that if not today but soon, this report will actually be used as the evidence to convict the criminals who need to be jailed and punished for their horrific acts against humanity. And to add, that goes for anyone who violates the boundaries set forth and anyone who kills innocent people, for any reason. In Islam, it has been dictated that during war you will not kill innocent people. Even the prisoners of war must be treated fairly. We must remember that individuals, groups, they are not representative of an entire philosophy or people e.g whether one body commits a terrible act in the name of a religion does not mean the people who live in peace and harmony advocate for it. But those who oppress and murder others for decades upon decades, they must be held to account.
Maybe this post also gets buried, but if I didn't speak my truth I couldn't live with myself.
It is not safe to flee south of Gaza, there is no infrastructure there to support millions of refugees! Refugees should go to Israel, it is much better equip to host refugees from this conflict!
This video feed feels like I'm watching some Adam Curtis b-roll live. Currently the camera, based in Israel, is panning across the land to catch explosions as the plumes of smoke rise, with people talking, music from the radio, or occassional car doors closing in the background.
Dear Moderators
Please could you reconsider the designation of this post as being flagged? I will happily trust your judgement and conclusions. Live feeds from this region are very rare. This insight is not covered on most outlets. It is a subject seemingly of interest to this forum as illustrated by the engagement and upvotes; greater than most of my posts. Thank you so much.

I know there is Paltel in West Bank; but I don't know if they are still operating in Gaza.
NO BORDERS!!
There is no other word
They'll claim it's a Hamas camera, then bomb it, probably killing some of the people nearby it.
