And this wasn't from bombing or shelling or anything like that. The IDF went in and set up physical explosive charges to demolish the building.

What could even be the excuse for doing something like this?

For people committing genocide, it's important to destroy the cultural fabric of their victims.

You never know, there could be Hamas tunnels under that cultural fabric.

I guess, maybe that is where they take all the babies they collect to be beheaded?

All the talk of tunnels send like the new propoganda Boogeyman used to justify genocide.

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

But did the tunnels condemn Hamas first?

Buildings are just elaborate, above-ground tunnels.

Who needs an excuse anymore?

Isn't it already obvious what the end goal of Israel is? Israel wants to make Gaza inhabitable and get rid of all Palestinians there. They also want all of Jerusalem and all of the West Bank. And if you try to raise your voice you are immediately condemned as antisemite.

Imagine if Hamas did this in israel while claiming they were "freeing hostages".

It's like israel is trying to fully complete a terrorism bingo card.

This is just vandalism, to help the ethnic cleansing. In a while they will be saying that the place was a desert when they arrived...

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Footage, showing the demolition of the Palace of Justice, was published on 4 December by Israel media.

However, Sky News could not verify the video's date and the demolition could have taken place before this.

A photo posted on 20 November by a military correspondent for The Times of Israel showed IDF troops outside the courthouse located near the al Zahra municipality after they had captured the site.

In the video, the explosion appears to have started on the building's lower levels obliterating it as debris and smoke fly everywhere.

Israel has reportedly taken down dozens of Hamas government buildings since its ground operations began at the end of October.

The IDF stormed the southern city of Khan Younis in what they called the "most intense" day of combat in five weeks of ground operations against Hamas militants.


The original article contains 211 words, the summary contains 138 words. Saved 35%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
