1. If you say anything about this you are anti-Israel and whisked off to a concentration camp.

It's pretty freaking sad. Maybe if after bombing a school they should put up a sign, Coming Soon - Trump Resort?

In a kind of way "funny"?

From the live feed in your link:

Merz: Israel's treatment of civilian population in Gaza 'can no longer be justified as a fight against Hamas terrorism'
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza are taking a humanitarian toll on civilians that can no longer be justified as a fight against terrorism.


So, what will he do about it?:
He added he planned to hold a call with Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week to tell him “to not overdo it,” though for “historical reasons”, Germany would always be more guarded in its criticism than some European partners.


19 months of genocide "overdoing it" and this is the best Germany can do. For "historical reasons". May as well just send a sternly-worded letter and go back to your cowardly slumber, Herr Merz...

"Historical reasons" apply to the entire West. It's why we are here, unable to stop a genocidal ethnic cleansing. As if two wrongs could ever make a right...

The IDF and Shin Bet security service issued a statement saying the deadly strike on a school sheltering displaced people in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City was targeting an intelligence compound.


Uh huh.

12. Horrible, but where were you last week when the two Israeli Embassy staffers in DC were murdered?

You shouldn't only highlight negative actions by Israel while remaining silent regarding the contrary events.
