More video and eyewitness info on Al Jazeera so far

Also reported on Common Dreams and Middle East Eye.

I haven’t found any reports of any independent investigations yet, hopefully they are underway

    I disagree with point 2, or maybe it needs to be clarified?

    A disproportionate response is a war crime (not genocide) but deaths each side isn’t the measure of proportionality - neither is strength, tech, economic strength.

    Proportionality is using only as much force as necessary to eliminate the threat and minimize civilian casualties. I haven’t seen the intel reports of the attacks on civilian structures that hamas are using, but proportional response does need to be called into question.

      I think everybody is willing to have a conversation on the imbalance of power and whether Israel can show more restraint.

      The people screaming genocide aren’t allowing us to have that conversation unless it is on their terms.
