Like no one actually believes that people are supporting terrorists when they say Israel should stop committing war crimes against civilians đ And then they use this false premise to support another dumb argument designed to make people think anyone who is anti trump is pro terrorism. Like pls stop
Israeli troops have targeted journalists (more journalists have been killed than in any other modern day conflict), UN healthcare workers, and civilians (documented cases of civilians being shot in the head and targeted at aid sites). Gazans were told to go to Rafah to avoid being bombed. Look at Rafah on google maps, it is bombed more than anywhere else. They did not let people leave & have denied most requests for medical evacuations, even children and elderly and cancer patients
More journalists have affiliation with the militia that initiated the war in Gaza than any time previous. Hamas doesnât follow protocol 1 of the Geneva convention. Their tactics both in warfare and in propaganda creation put even legitimate journalists at risk. They often use ngoâs, ambulances and other civilian and aid infrastructure putting even legitimate aid workers and innocent civilians at risk.
As for Rafa, things change. When they were fighting in the north, Gazans were told to go south. Mind you, itâs documented that Hamas told people to stay put and not to flee. There were also videos of Hamas gunning people down in the street while civilians fled via the humanitarian corridor. Now, Hamas was holding hostages in Rafa, Hamas kept fighting from Rafa and so things change and Rafa needed to be dealt with, thatâs why they created the Al-mowasi zone or however itâs spelled.
do you really think itâs justifiable to target civilian infrastructure to the extent that it has been in Gaza? And you didnât say anything about the actual UN healthcare workers that have been targeted or the denial of medical evacuations or the fact that they havenât let anyone leave. Have you heard testimonies of doctors who have gone to help in Gaza? And your justification for the targeting of journalists is bs
Your justification for Israelâs carpet bombing of civilian infrastructure is that terrorists may be hiding in those buildings. Despite the fact that over 80% of the Palestinians murdered since October 7 have been civilians. Israelâs own defense minister has explicitly said his government aims to ethnically cleanse Palestine. It is genuinely disgusting that propagandists like you exist, either because youâre delusional enough to believe what youâre saying or evil enough to lie about it.
Loooool ok youâre full of shit because what you said contradicts itself. So no you havnt you know nothing of warfare. Nothing of how firefights work, nothing of urban combat against an insurgency that makes a point to do everything they can to blend in with civilians, use ambulances medic uniforms, press uniforms, hospitals, schools etc to gain a tactical advantage on the uniformed professional military.
I love how when simpletons use the term carpet bombing or indiscriminate bombing while theyâre wrong because thatâs not whatâs happening, arguing that Israel is doing carpet, bombing or bombing and discriminately goes against the side allegation because you donât even remotely see a corresponding loss of life to destruction, which you would see if Israel had the intent to destroy the population.
To reference settlements in the West Bank, the Israeli government tears down illegal settlements. While settlement expansion in my opinion does more harm than good (itâs an optics issue), I learned the history. Over 150,000 Jews were violently ethnically cleansed from âthe West Bankâ by Jordan, transplanting Arabs into villages and cities that were majority Jewish, or had Jews continuously living there for thousands of years. So wanting to essentially âmove backâ is understandable.
Okay well at least we can agree on Ben Gvir being an insane person. But i donât get how you can acknowledge that but not the war crimes that are happening. Like Israeli troops got found liable for systemic sexual abuse in the Gaza strip- do you not think that is a war crime? After those soldiers r**** the detainee, why did Netanyahu defend them saying they shouldnât be charged and that âheroes should be protectedâ? That is exactly the problem. Rules are not being followed or enforced.
War crimes are a problem, especially when theyâr proven independently to be true, are awful and need to be addressed. For the sake of argument Iâll grant you the overall premise that there have been war crimes. (War crimes =\= genocide, but thatâs a whole other thing) But the problem here lies, as we discuss it on the other side of the world, is that the existence of war crimes, or even the allegation is being used to delegitimize Israel as a state, all the while the other side gets a pass
Well, Israel has been accused by genocide for its indiscriminate attacks on designated safe zones, refugee camps, and neighborhoods, the man-made famine (genuinely how can you know people right near you are starving & do nothing to get them food), and the targeting of healthcare infrastructure & healthcare workers. What is your explanation for the arrest of healthcare workers & proven *targeting* of non-combatant journalists?
Why are they targeting and arresting non-combatant doctors and journalists then? Why do they deny medical evacuations and why entirely close the border so that no one can leave a tiny area that is being constantly bombed? It is objectively unfair. All you have to do is imagine yourself being born in Gaza to see that it is unfair. No one is being given a chance
I donât believe they are. Though I do know that a doctor and a journalist (neither of whom were officially affiliated with Hamas) held a hostage in rafah for like over a year. But yes war sucks. Thatâs why itâs stupid to start a war⌠but stop laying the blame at the feet of the force waging war against the aggressor of the war. Like wtf. It could be over in a heart beat if Hamas and other militant groups would unconditionally surrender and disarm. Yet they donâtâŚthey benefit from drawing it out
You keep ignoring the points I make that disprove your argument. The denial of med-evacs and total closure of the border is one of the nails in the coffin that you keep ignoring. Non-combatants didnât start this. What Israel is doing is at the very least extreme collective punishment, and at worst, intentional ethnic cleansing (supported by statements made by top government officials & a refusal to prosecute war crimes committed by Israeli troops).
Yeah sorry for the contradiction of actually saying âsnipedâ and âpoint blank,â my bad I was more angry and concerned about people being murdered. Yes Iâve seen them get sniped and get killed in targeted blasts. It is disturbing and disgusting. I have to ask how you explain away cases like Hind Rajab since you insist on being a genocide apologist
it literally just is genocide when a country traps a group of people in a small area & constantly *indiscriminately* bombs that area including designated safe zones, targets medical and sanitation facilities, healthcare workers and journalists and civilians, indiscriminately arrests people and tortures them in prisons, doesnât let anyone leave, and then tries to justify it by loosely associating all civilians with a terrorist group
it is so obvious & we all know that itâs blatantly unjust because we know it would not be fair if it happened to us. If you were a Palestinian in Gaza, they wouldnât care if you had done everything right your whole life. They wouldnât care how good of a person you are. To them, you would just be another Hamas supporter. That is not fair and you know it
Who elected Hamas? Who supported Hamas? Who cheered in the streets every time Hamas rockets flew overhead towards civilian neighborhoods? Who indoctrinated their children into killing Jews, and becoming martyrs? Who poured into the streets and spat and beat on hostages as they were paraded through the streets? Who poured into Israel behind Al qassam on Oct 7 to violently attack Israelis, take their own hostages and commit other atrocities? People of Gaza. Sure, not all⌠just most.
Preventing a genocide by killing the genocidal, people is not a genocide. The radical Islamists Hamas, Hezbollah and everyone that they support and enables them are the genocidal ones⌠the Arabs, going back to even before Israel was established were the genocidal ones. The grand mufti Palestine was a celebrated Nazi. You have bought hook line and sinker the propaganda of these awful genocidal fucking terrorists. Itâs pathetic
I really donât want to entertain this because you have ben thoroughly proven wrong, but I am just saying this for your own sake: You canât judge people as a group, you have to judge people individually according to their individual characters. That is the point of laws against collective punishment and the principle of justice. That is why international laws were established to prevent genocide.
I know there are people who just want to live in peace. They are too few and far between. Iâve studied the region, this conflict and others extensively. Iâve been to war myself and know more than most. Iâve been to the region, I have seen and spoke with real people from both sides. No one has objectively proven what I say wrong. Just appeals to emotion, appeals to flawed authority fallacies. Strawmanning etc. itâs pathetic
