It's also a crime against humanity to hide behind civilians, putting them in harm's way. That is also a major violation of the laws of war, along with using schools, hospitals and refugee camps to attack, wearing civilian clothing, et cetera. Yet these tactics are central to Hamas strategy in Gaza. |
Israel is the one that is starving the people of Gaza. And Israel is the one that bombed the hospitals. Israel is the one that does not allow sufficient medical deliveries. There are international organizations, the UN, and many other countries and NGOs providing aid. To say that "Israel is providing food convoys" is not accurate. The amount of aid that Israel is allowing in is minuscule. The inspection process for these deliveries is ridiculous. The NYT had an article yesterday about the delivery of aid: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/11/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-aid-trucks.html Sen. Van Hollen was at the Rafah crossing and released a statment two days ago: “To be sure, there is much room to improve the logistics for the delivery of goods from the Egyptian side of the border and other parts of the humanitarian supply chain; however, it is clear from what we witnessed, and the first-hand accounts that we heard, that decisions made by the Netanyahu government have erected a variety of barriers that are preventing the delivery of sufficient life-sustaining goods from reaching innocent Palestinians in Gaza. https://www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-releases/van-hollen-merkley-press-for-action-following-trip-to-rafah-crossing-egypt-jordan |
We all know that is not true. This is not about Hamas. It is about killing Palestinians. The IDF by their own admission say there are over 20,000 Hamas fighter still active and 75% of the “tunnel complex” has not been taken. I really question these numbers(seems very made up Israel’s intelligence services) but it an admission the IDF has failed in Gaza. If the IDF wanted to take out Hamas they would have done it now. Gaza is just not that big. Israel will achieved a Pyrrhic victory. When Netanyahu opens the next front in Lebanon it will tax the IDF to its breaking point. Though he is the only one who will stand up to the US/Biden and keep Israel safe. |
Really? Was Hamas hiding behind the elderly mother and her daughter who were assassinated by a sniper while walking across a Catholic church courtyard? Or was Hamas hiding behind the mother who was assassinated by a sniper while following evacuation orders, a white flag in her hand as she held her four year old’s hand with her other hand? The babies left to die in NICU units? What did those people do to deserve those bullets, that fate? Supporters of Israel’s actions are sick and irredeemable. 10/7 will never justify Israel’s response, much less justify the decades of Israeli atrocities prior to 10/7. But thankfully, karma will eventually come for Zionists. May she offer no mercy, and no end to the suffering. |
OK, punish hamas for their crimes and punish the IDF and Israeli government for their crimes. |
I keep hearing this same theory repeated all the time Yes, it is a densely populated area, if you bomb a school because somewhere there was a Hamas soldier then you do kill everyone in the school Every bombing is justified by the statement that there somewhere must have been a Hamas soldier |
| Ever notice that every terrorist group the US targets is an organization that got its start because of Israel? |
FARC? Daesh? Tamil Tigers? Ever notice that people on the internet make sh*t up? |
Fine - but if the international community can round up the Israel war criminals, and put them on trial first, so be it. They are despicable and inspire hatred against Jews everywhere in the world. |
You mean because the terror groups hate Jews…and Americans…and basically everyone who isn’t a devout follower of whatever religious extremism they claim to fight for (*and sometimes they still fight against those “brothers in arms” when it feels right)? I’ve come to accept that you can’t negotiate with terrorists and live peacefully with them. Their commitment to killing and dying for some religious cause makes it impossible to tolerate their behavior or beliefs let alone attempt to coexist with them. |
Hmm....in another words, you think that the years of bombing Yemen, one of the poorest countries in the world, had nothing to do with what the Houthis do? Interesting. |
So you're saying, if not for Hamas, Israel would not be annexing the West Bank, unleashing settler militias on the Palestinians, build illegal settlements or put people in administrative detention? Okay. Interesting. |
You're saying we should believe you, and not multiple statements by Israeli officials about blocking food supplies to Gaza? Explicitly calling for starving the population until they leave? |
Bombing by whom? The Houthis or the Saudi-backed coalition supporting the nation’s government? Or the recent bombing by the US and UK? It’s hard to sort through this when religious extremist terrorists keep popping up and provoking military responses, right? |
