Not Much Protecting Of Lives I Can See

Another day of Israeli airstrikes and every spokesman that Israel wheel out to try and defend their bombing of Gaza explain that they are doing everything they possibly can to limit Palestinian to protect the Palestinian population but as as the death toll reaches an abhorrent 4,600 dead in 16 days they are obviously not doing very much.  
Compare that to the 9,614 Ukrainian civilians killed by the Russians who are another nation with little regard to who is under the bombs they drop over the past 18 months then it is an appalling number.
During conflicts all sides lie, it wasn't that long ago that Tony Blair went along with GW Bush to blatantly lied to start wars in Afghanistan and Iraq so maybe that's why the British public are not as quick to accept the Israeli propaganda about being concerned for innocent Palestinians especially when we see the shattered streets in Gaza lined with the rubble of bombed out buildings and lifeless bodies being dragged out of them.
With hospitals being hit along with schools, amenities and 5,000 Palestinian homes, how can anyone believe that Israel is targeting Hamas members only so when despite the staggering death toll, the American President and UK Prime Minister give the green light for the continuing indiscriminate bombing of an entrapped population with nowhere to go (the US vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that called for a pause in the fighting to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza, the UK abstained) then they do so with no regard for the civilians beneath the Israeli weapons dropped from high in collective punishment.
The West's leaders quite rightly condemned Hamas for their crimes against humanity but don't seem quite so ready to condemn Israel's which is why demonstrations broke out around the World yesterday, 100,000 marching for a ceasefire yesterday in London and that number was when the police stopped counting, but with troops massing on the Gaza border waiting for the nod to invade and send the death toll skyrocketing, but then Israel has had decades to talk peace with its neighbours but only took the opportunity to subjugate and steal their land.
The danger always has been that some of those on the receiving end of 65 years of one of the greatest atrocities since the 2nd World War would retaliate with some spectacular act of cruelty which happened on 7 October.
Hopefully the silver lining, once the dead have been buried and the Palestinians and Israeli's rebuild their broken lives, is that talks regarding a two state solution will be top of the agenda because what we have had for the past 6 decades hasn't worked and as it is America that bankroll Israel to continue the horrific status quo, Biden or whoever follows has to grasp the moment, condemn Israel's indiscriminate killing of civilians as much as they condemn Hamas's and end a very long running wrong.
