    Yeah, really. Gaza is a little bigger than Manhattan in size yet the place isn't leveled. Makes one wonder how accurate those figures are.

    How about the 5 million tons of bombs we dropped on Vietnam? Surely that's more than was dropped in WW II. My point is that Al Jazeera is sensationalizing it because...Al Jazeera.

    Yes, there will be some of that but do you blame them?
    Their adversaries are a powerful Israel and USA along with the rest of the Christian world.
    Even Zelensky of Ukraine is misguidedly supporting Israel when Israel has barely lifted a finger in return.
    Meanwhile Palestine has no allies other than a motley crew of countries.

    So Hamas terrorists are hiding in school buildings and shooting at the IDF.

    The appropriate response should be overwhelming firepower to take the Hamas terrorists out.

    Everything is black and white in the Jewish and Christian's book of half truths and half lies.

    "We are good, you are bad".
    "We are of God, you are of the devil".
    "You are attacking us, we are the victims".

    "The bible is a book written by Jews for the Jews but God wrote it."

    "The Jewish scriptures both old and new testament are full of God's miracles where God delivers the Jews and makes his presence felt, just there hasn't been any God/Jew miracles for the last 2000 years."

    GAZA/CAIRO/NEW YORK, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The United States kept up pressure on Israel to do more to protect Palestinian civilians during a fierce offensive against Hamas militants across Gaza, even as Washington vetoed a U.N. Security Council demand for an immediate ceasefire.
    ..............................
    Oxymoron! "Kept up pressure on Israel"... and ...."vetoed a ceasefire".
    Talking out of both sides of the face.

    Oh, this is rich coming from a terrorist group that murdered hundreds of people...

    Hamas condemns US veto at UN Security Council, describing it as “immoral and inhumane position”

    Hamas has condemned the United States' decision to veto the Gaza ceasefire draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council on Friday, describing it as an “immoral and inhumane position.”

    “America’s obstruction of the issuance of a ceasefire resolution is a direct participation with the (Israeli) occupation in killing our people,” Izzat Al-Rishq, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said in a statement.


    Some context: The resolution — presented by the United Arab Emirates — had called for “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire,” as well as “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages” and “ensuring humanitarian access,” according to a draft copy.

    Thirteen countries were in favor, the US vetoed and the UK abstained.

    The United States had previously signaled disapproval of the draft text. One of the council’s five permanent members with veto power, the US has repeatedly resisted calls for a “ceasefire,” emphasizing Israel’s right to defend itself following Hamas’ October 7 terror attack.

    The vote was the sixth attempt by the 15-member group to reach a consensus on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Only one previous vote was successful, which called last month for “humanitarian pauses and corridors” to be established in Gaza.

    Do you think all of Israel's retaliation bombardments will stop it happening again?
    My hunch, Israel is looking for an excuse to bait Iran into a response so they can attack them too.
    Israel have been keen to get rid of Iran's uranium enrichment plants for some while.
