More Of The Same After Another Israeli Massacre

The usual manoeuvre after Israel has committed yet another massacre of civilians is that Israel denies massacre, Israel announce an investigation of the massacre and then the news cycle moves on and the last massacre is replaced by another massacre and the cycle starts again and it is exactly what is happening following an attack on a residential block, houses and refugee camps in Gaza City which has killed at least 45.
The Israeli military said warplanes had struck Hamas military infrastructure sites in Gaza City and was targeting a senior Hamas official although as pictures of bodies being pulled from under the rubble emerged, it changed to the predictable: 'The incident would be examined and the findings presented'.
As for the previous investigation of the massacre of 22 civilians at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) offices in Gaza, Israel said there was: 'no direct attack carried out by the IDF against a Red Cross facility' which the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell took with a salt mine worth of salt and said that there should be an 'independent investigation and for those responsible to be held accountable'.
More than 37,551 people have now been killed in Gaza and the  International Court of Justice has said Israels action 'comes under the Genocide banner' and the International Criminal Court are seeking warrants for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu and his defence minister, Yoav Gallant.
The European Commission are holding an Association Council to discuss several EU countries call to banning imports of products from Israel in light of the ICC and ICJ rulings and as Europe is Israel’s largest trading partner, accounting for 29% of its trade in goods, hopefully economics will work in stopping the Israeli genocide where human rights and war crime rulings have failed.
