An Israeli strike hit the home of her extended family in the southern Gaza city of Rafah late Saturday, killing her children, her husband and 11 other relatives and leaving another nine missing under the rubble, according to survivors and local health officials.

Israeli airstrikes have regularly hit crowded family homes since the start of the war in Gaza, even in Rafah, which Israel declared a safe zone in October but is now the next target of its devastating ground offensive.

The strikes often come without warning, usually in the middle of the night.

    The current Israeli government is guilty of perpetuating the cycle of violence thrust upon them during WW2.

    The current Israel Government is equivalent to that of the Nazi party.

    The current Israel Government is guilty of genocide, condoning war crimes and of crimes against humanity.

    The Israeli government must stand trial for their actions and be held accountable. If that means their death or eternal incarceration, then so be it.

    Do the crime. Pay the time.

    Free Palestine, you fucking terrorists.

            Israel isn’t just killing Hamas. They’re killing civilians. They’re not taking any appropriate steps to avoid killing civilians. Israel has all the power in this situation, including the power to avoid as much collateral damage as possible, but they don’t care about collateral damage, they only care about giving collective punishment.
