At least 25 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 children, and another 30 wounded in a pre-dawn Israeli strike on a home in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza that has been under siege for weeks, Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Sunday.

A reporter for the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera posted footage of the bodies from the scene on X, saying at least 32 people had been killed and that the death toll was one of the biggest so far in Jabalia, where hundreds of people have been killed since the Israeli operation began last month.

Anas al-Sharif said the home belonged to the Aloush family and that no civil defence agencies or ambulances had been able to reach the area due to the Israeli siege and that locals were still searching for more victims.

It was not possible to independently verify the report as Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza.

    Not saying not to do what you say but Jewish population in America is only 2% this is not enough to make a change

    Israel has a population of ~9.75 million.

    The US has a population of ~335 million people.

    As of 2020, the American Jewish population is estimated at 7.5 million people, accounting for 2.4% of the total US population.

    If All American Jews managed to convince just 1.3 Israeli’s, that’d be the entire population influenced.

    But perhaps you’re saying 2% isn’t enough to affect change internally within the US? Probably not true either, 2% is 1/50 people. And as we all know from tinfoil wearing conspiracy nuts, Jews have disproportionate representation in politics. (I do not know or care whether that statement has any veracity; I’m saying it sarcastically.)
