Eradication of Palestine

Pretty happy?
It depends who's doing the writing. I could do another interpretation of what's in the video :-

The skyline is a jagged scar of crumbled concrete and twisted steel, where mosques, their domes cracked like eggshells, stand as hollow relics of a city pulverized by war. Sewage snakes through the streets, pooling in bomb craters, a foul testament to a place stripped of its lifelines—no running water, no electricity. Above, the relentless whirr of drones and military helicopters hums like a predator’s pulse, a constant reminder that the sky itself is hostile.

Makeshift tents, patched together from torn tarps and splintered wood, cling to the roadsides, housing families with nothing left but resilience. Shops are a memory, their storefronts rubble. This is a wasteland now, where the only commerce is survival—people sift through the debris, salvaging scraps of clothing, shattered furniture, anything the destruction spared.

No gunfire cracks the air today, no flags stake claims in the dust. There’s no visible defiance, only the quiet desperation of survival. Men, women, and children shuffle through the wreckage, faces gaunt, clutching buckets to fetch water from stagnant pools or distant, perilous sites. Those who have not been killed yet, and can move, do so. The others—the wounded, the trapped—lie silent beneath collapsed roofs and heaps of stone, unseen while the stench of their rotting hangs heavy in the air.

The Israeli onslaught hasn’t relented. Shells still rain down, buildings still collapse, and the drones overhead keep watch. This isn’t a city anymore; it’s a battlefield where life hangs by a thread. The people here don’t fight—they endure, scavenging, fetching water, doing all that’s left in a place where the infrastructure of life has been erased.

Which begs the question, why don't they lay down their arms and release the hostages?

A bit over dramatic, I see people getting on with their lives and making the best of it. Children happy and playing amongst the wreckage. People talking to each other and socialising, little pop up shops serving the local communities, you have to have a positive attitude to survive.

You both completely missed the point I was making, but at the same time MADE the point.

I wrote that on purpose with a pro-Palestinian spin. It described the same video we all saw. It's factual enough, but you seem to have taken it as my opinion, or viewpoint.

No, it just showed that it's child's play to take a skeleton of approximations to the truth and spin what you want.
It's a war, all sides do it. We would all do similar things in their position.
Of course both sides paint the worst picture they can, and can expect to be criticized for it.

There's a trap though, one side exaggerates, and the criticism of the exaggeration is expected to be taken as an indictment of the victim, as though to wipe out the atrocity.

Blatant set up - Side A bombs a school and kills 100 kids.
Side B wails that 200 kids were killed.
Side A says "that's complete rubbish, the schools only ever hold 120, look how side B is evil and we have the proof of the 120 so they are telling lies, they are guilty, can't believe a word of what they say. It could not have happened."

Know what I mean, Harry?

So difficult to know what's really happening when Israel kills journalists.
 
[Hamas] says former Israeli military intelligence chief Aharon Haliva’s recent comments are “an explicit admission of the genocidal doctrine” of Israel.

Haliva said: “For every person killed on October 7, 50 Palestinians must die.”

A Hamas statement on Telegram said: “Haliva’s call to kill 50 Palestinians for every Israeli, regardless of whether they are children or women, is a systematic criminal policy.

“The confessions reveal that the occupation’s crimes are the result of high-level decisions and official policy from the political and security leadership of the criminal Nazi entity,” it also said, calling on “the United Nations and international courts to document these confessions”.

Israel’s Channel 12 aired leaked recordings of Haliva making this statement. He added that this killing was “necessary for future generations”.

He went on to say that “they need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price,” referring to the violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 by Zionist militias.

Haliva can be heard insisting that the killings are “not revenge”, but rather a “deterrent to future generations”.
