Israeli war crimes

Where are all the calls for Hamas to surrender already? There seems to be no interest in actually addressing the underlying cause of the decimation in Gaza, which is the predictable result of Hamas' ongoing hostilities and refusal to release hostages it has held for nearly two years. I suppose it's too facile to suggest that Hamas holds the key to improving the lives of the Palestinians.

I do think Israel has stepped over the line in terms of civilian casualties, but had the absolute right to invade after 10/7.

But, I am wondering what is the end game for Hamas at this point ? Israel is getting more ruthless by the day, and two different US administrations seem to either ignore or are incapable to stop it. Yet, Hamas still holds on to the hostages. If they turned them over, then there really is no credible reason for Israel to operate the way they do.

Hamas is extending this, and causing their population to take beating day in and day out. WTF do they want to turn over the hostages? Do they even have an effective leadership to make decisions? There is no “white knight” coming to their rescue that I can see.

Hamas, which the Gazans supported wholeheartedly, is the root cause of all Palestinian current-day problems. Instead of working to achieve a modus vivendi with Israel like a civilized government, and as have Jordan and Egypt and other Arab states in the region, it embarked on a patently futile spree of rape, murder, and kidnapping directed at civilians, and then doubled down by refusing to release the kidnapping victims without regard to the nature and extent of the inevitable and predictable Israeli response. As if the atrocities of Oct 7 were insufficient to sate their blood lust, Hamas has deliberately increased the body count among Palestinians by doggedly refusing to do anything to address the reason for Israeli retaliation. It continues to hold hostages and refuses to surrender, to achieve what, exactly? More casualties? Their intransigence is certainly not going to result in something better for the Gazans than the status quo ante. It is instead making the ultimate outcome much, much worse for Gaza, with a greatly reduced territory, much more tightly controlled, and a deep and enduring suspicion that no lasting peace will ever be possible with the Palestinians who spawned and supported the Hamas terror regime.

Majority of the population is under 18. They weren’t even alive when HAMAS came to power. I don’t think children chose HAMAS. If those children survive the genocide, I’m sure they won’t choose Israel.

The adults chose Hamas, and plenty of them are still present. The median age in Gaza is 18. Some Hamas members are reportedly as young as 12 years of age.

By that logic, you have condemned all Jews to brutal, unrelenting persecution because “enough” of them support genocide, institutionalized rape, sodomy and sexual assault of detainees, and all of the heinous, unspeakable crimes against humanity (you know, like the actual beheaded babies and the babies savagely torn from wombs and the babies burned alive in ovens - all of which are central to the despicable deeds carried out by Israel’s founders) that lie at the epicenter of Israel’s foundation.

YOU have invited this condemnation onto the Jewish people. Sad.

Hallucinatory fabrications don't add much to the discussion.

Sure, Jan. Where’s the hallucination?

The State of Israel actually permits the extrajudicial rape, sodomy and sexual assault of detainees, convicted of NOTHING. The people of Israel are no better, having violently stormed judicial facilities to demand that their loved ones (perverted, psycho Israeli weirdos) guilty of having done so are not held accountable for their rape, sodomy and sexual assault. These are facts.

The founders of the State of Israel actually committed those other acts of terror and it’s fully documented. They beheaded Palestinian babies and children. They cut fetuses from the uteruses of pregnant Palestinian women. They burned Palestinian babies alive in ovens, while their soon-to-be murdered parents looked on helplessly.

Again, these are facts.

So again, you mentioned hallucinations … are we talking burning bush hallucinations or chosen people hallucinations? Or are we talking Ashkenazim connection to the region hallucinations?

Expecting groups that you have subjectively designated as “terrorists” to comply with your orders is a wild vibe.

Hamas doesn’t follow orders from civilians like us. Since Israel also doesn’t follow orders from civilians like us, can we commence with brutal, unrelenting strafing attacks on Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, etc.?

Lovely. The world would be a better place if we had more people like you running their own state. Not.

Israel intentionally massacred 6 Palestinian journalists yesterday in Gaza City, including Anas al-Sharif. This massacre wiped out the entire crew of Al Jazeera in Gaza City, right before Israel's announced offensive in Gaza City.

Below is the final message of Anas to the world, published posthumously:

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.

First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabaliya refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final.

I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification – so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine – the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.

I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter, Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend – patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty.

If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza. And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

From a Doctors Without Borders Doctor working at a stint in Gaza…unbelievable what Israel is trying to do to starve the population to death. #Humans of NY

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in seven pounds of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

-------------------------------------------------------

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Médecins Sans Frontières / MSF in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

Whatever leftover Palestinians that survive the genocide and starvation will be relocated by Israel allowing them to enact their final solution. Currently they are looking at war torn Southern Sudan as an option.

I’m sorry but where are your critical thinking skills?

Who is dropping bombs and shooting who?

Who is preventing food from entering Gaza?

Who at this point is “Hamas”?

Israel is a terrorist state. Criminality is now in the DNA of the state and social fabric of the country. There's no worse propaganda for Israel than just filming their everyday lives and recording their own speech.
