    just in case anyone here doesn’t already know, the death toll from the US-Israel bombing of the elementary girls school is currently at 164 with dozens more wounded. Victims are mostly little girls aged 9-12.

    For some reason our western media seems reluctant to spread this basic factual information…

    *edited US to US-Israel so that it’s super duper accurate

      Because the administration involved in killing 100+ little girls are also involved in covering up a sex trafficking ring raping and molesting 100+ little girls.

      Has there been any official statement as to why it was targetted?

      Did they mistake it for something else, bad intelligence?

      Did the missile malfunction?

      I mean, I can imagine them doing it on purpose for some fucked up reason but they have to have an excuse, no?

        It aligns with that the US and Israel are terrorist states. Aiming for targets which spreads the most fear and despair seems to be a part of their plan. Making parents reluctant to send their kids to school is an efficient way of imobolizing people.

        It’s an illegal war in the first place, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a continuous stream of war crimes going forward.

        I haven’t looked into it too much but I believe the school was near a military base and the rocket malfunctioned and went off course and hit the wrong target.

          Despite being the least upvoted response, this is the actual answer - the school was directly next door to a military base
