GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A Palestinian health official says at least 100 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting in Gaza on Tuesday.

The high death toll comes as Israel has escalated its military offensive in the coastal strip.

Gaza health official Ashraf al-Kidra says the toll counts those killed from midnight on Monday.

The Palestinian death toll in more than three weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting has surpassed 1,100.

Since the start of Israeli ground operations in the Gaza Strip, there have been several instances when the daily Palestinian death toll surpassed 100.

  1. Israel’s goal is a single-state solution through genocide. This will allow them to set up more settlements (or “living space”). Their very own Lebensraum.

    Ironic.

  2. I’m sure it’s okay. When the chickens once again come home to roost, it’ll be New York City that will take the brunt of it.

  3. yes, genocide–I mean, they’ve killed slightly more than a thousand people.

    What I think is funny about this is how people are going on about Israeli “genocide.” How many Arabs do you think have been killed in Iraq and Syria in the last 3 weeks?

    As for Lebensraum, you have it backwards. Israel left Gaza, and the government has no interest in putting settlements back there.

  4. What a bunch of crap.

    You think 1,000 Palestinians is the total number Israel has killed during its occupation over the past 50 years? Get out of here.

    And you know you’re argument is PATHETIC when you are trying to make your defense “But Israel isn’t as bad as ISIS.”

    This is what Israel (and its defenders) are left arguing.
