He decided to leave with his family because it was too dangerous. Too many explosions. He laments the banning of foreign journalists by Israel and Egypt. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c8rdmrm7p72o

So you say but to quote the article: 'The 55 correspondents represent all the main broadcasters with bases in the UK including BBC News, Sky News, ITV News, Channel 4 News, CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC.' All wanting to get into Gaza but forbidden by Israel.

A lot of foreign journalists want to get into Gaza but Israel won"t let them. https://pressgazette.co.uk/news/gaza-journalists-foreign-correspondents-israel-egypt-access/

Israeli doesn't allow any journalists from outside Gaza entry so how can international journalists see for themselves? Of course Israel may argue it's too dangerous for international journalists to enter but if Israel is so precise in it's attacks, as it claims ( only kill Hamas terrorists), then they should let foreign observers in. Or are they trying to hide something?

Israeli torture and murder of medical personnel

Why can't you be sceptical about both?

It's sad how how you seem to believe every Israeli claim.

Yes, very convenient for Israel to blame Hamas when it kills civilians.

More murders by the Israelis. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crk0x64ll8jo

They should have tasered him at the least. A Belarus idiot out of control. He would have been shot in many countries. Lucky Thais are so tolerant. May he enjoy the cockroaches in his cell.

I don't believe Hamas, and I don't believe the IDF. If you're convinced the IDF never lie then I have a bridge to sell you in Crimea.

Here's one example of the countless lies peddled by the IDF The case of al-Shifa hospital – hasbara exposed | Jewish Voice for Labour

It shows that Israel doesn't care about civilian casualties, in fact encourages them with its destruction of medical facilities.

And you believe the IDF? lol

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry said in a report on October 10th that Israel's policy to destroy Gaza's healthcare system with its relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities was a war crime and crime against humanity.

I was responding to another poster's point regarding genocide. In your haste to defend Israel at any cost you seem to have misunderstood the thread, now you're claiming a German tourist was attacked!

The situation is not akin at all. The Allies have never been accused of committing genocide on Germany and Japan, however, they have been accused by some of war crimes by their bombing of civilian areas. But there was never an attempt to wipe out the entire populations of Japan and Germany. In Gaza, however, many suspect the huge number of civilian casualties, destruction of hospitals and denial of food aid by Israel is in effect genocide of the Palestinian people.
