It's not a competition you dumbfuck but about reaching a peaceful coexistence. But as long as Hamas has the goal of erasing Israel and its people that is not possible. There is nothing "Pro-Palestine" about going into Israel and murdering innocents - if that were true Palestine deserved to be removed from the map.
People like you make it impossible to end this tragedy even though you know that the people in Gaza pay the highest price for the ongoing conflict.
That's what happens when media promote Hamas lies. Those who want to believe them use them as justification for their worldview that jews must be exterminated.
Oh I did not mean that to be ambigious. To make it clear: I think the user is a dumbass who gets upset because people don't believe that Israel attacked the hospital but that it was caused by the "defenders". Which is something he cannot accept because in his mind Israel must be at fault.
It was actually 1000 children, those are smaller and easily fit in the parking lot. I know that because the honorable health ministry of Hamas Gaza said so.
They don't care that they were wrong. The next time Hamas claims Israel did something bad they will believe it instantly and only question whatever IDF says. It's not about the truth but what they wished the truth was.
Also note that launching rockets from the hospital makes it a legitimate target and therefore not a warcrime to hit it. Innocents die but it is fair game to destroy it when used as a platform to launch attacks from.
lol Lemmy is completely filled with trash you cannot even get a proper answer to your question. The "free palestine" and "think of the children" faction demands Israel stops defending itself and just roll over and die. They cannot provide a workable solution.
Hey so Hamas and IDF both agree that it is a bad thing to bomb hospitals - so much even that they both want the other party to be responsible. And some people believed there was no common ground between them for any kind of peace talks...
The total blockade of water and food is a very sharp sword that I hope will be lifted quickly as it was an overly brutal reaction to the attack. It could have been considered as an immense pressure to release the hostages from Gaza without boming the place but that did not manifest as Israel decided to attack anyways.
Do you think that Egypt is also complicit in the genocide against the people of Gaza, as they are also carrying the blockade?
Do you have an idea as to what "the right thing" for Israel to do now is? It is easy to demand they stop attacking Gaza but I never read any proposals of what to do instead but "suck it up". I think the only way to stop this is a trustworthy player in the region that can credibly assure Israel that they would help them remove Hamas from Gaza so they stop the destruction.
The people in Israel are also desperate. They left Hamas to their own devices and were hit with the largest attack in decades. Now they want Hamas gone - at any cost. The international community left them alone with the problem and now they want to solve it to prevent this from ever happening again. TBH I don't dare to give advice to any side here any advice on what they should do. It's a catastrophe that Hamas wanted and received. Loads and loads of people that receive no help and are left to die. There are many "should have" and "could have" to be said but what do they matter now?
A side note regarding escalation, if you care for my opinion on this:I don't think that Iran or Egypt will join any escalation by Hezbollah or Fatah. Russia is stretched thin anyways, Egypt gives 0 shit about Palestine and Iran will get completely dismantled by the US alone. Europe will not be a player in the region, we are completely busy with Ukraine and we likely cannot contribute anything that Israel needs (except ammunition, I guess). It will be a complete disaster of death and destruction for the region that no one wants - but I think Israel and the US are ready to fight it if anyone wants to escalate.
“acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”.
The intent "to destroy whole or in part" is not there. If Israel had the intent to eradicade the people of Gaza it could have easily done so for a long time. That is not "mental gymnastics" but a matter of intent, as stated in your definition. They take into account that many, many innocent people in Gaza are killed as collaterals in their fight to destroy Hamas, but Israel actually wanting to eradicate the populace would look very different. I'm open to change my view the coming weeks but I don't see Israel eradicating them. I also accept that you vehemently disagree with me on this.
On the other hand Hamas has put the intent of the complete destruction of Israel in its founding charter - one can easily claim that every attack on Israel by Hamas is an act of genocide.
