The situation is horrible.

The Palestinians don’t have an army. They also don’t have tanks, fighter jets, anti-rocket weapons, etc… Israel on the other hand has billions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, bombs, etc. that they get from the US and other western countries. This is not an even fight. It never has been.

The Palestinians do indeed have an army. It's Hamas. And the Hamas army is backed by Hezbollah and others. That army has mortars, rocket artillery, RPGs, anti-tank rockets and grenades, everything they need to do battle against IDF ground troops. There were machine gun factories in Gaza sponsored by Russia churning out AK-47s and other weaponry. And, the reason it's dragged on as long as it has is because they are still fighting.

Geneva Convention is not a suicide pact. It has specific rules that both sides must follow. If they do not follow, then they do not get the protections in the Geneva conventions.

Hamas has not allowed contact with POWs.

International law does not apply to Israel despite it being an apartheid and a genocidal, racist occupying regime

These people proved that the moment they have the power they are more than happy to do to Gazans what Hitler did to them, I hope we see as many movies of the genocide conducted in Gaza. I hope there is a hell and Netanyahu burns in it for eternity.

Hitler murdered 6million Jews.

More than 6million Palestinians have been born since Israel started winning wars against Arab nations.
Most incompetent genocide ever.

Either you are deliberately misleading or you have no idea what you are talking about.

The united states is not a signatory to the Geneva Convention.. hence Guantanamo (its b;c it violates our internal laws) we do not support Intl law beng applied to us, we only enforce it on others. you can shout unfair or whatever but we have FAANG, Boeing as bad as it is, Niurthru et al and all it implies and noone else does. the person with the biggest wallet has the last say over what is or isnt acceptable.

Hamas is a designated terrorist organization, not an army.
