  • I already explained in a different thread, that genocide is purposeful elimination of some nation or ethnicity. For something to be genocide you need an ethnicity and a goal to eliminate it.

    Palestinian is not an ethnicity, it's just a place where you live, like Californian. And Israel doesn't have a goal to eliminate them. The target is Hamas, a terrorist organization.

    On the contrary, the target of Hamas is elimination of all Jews, which is an ethnicity. They don't even hide their goal, you can read their charter.

  • Well, if the terrorist leaders ask you to do something for them, and you do exactly what they ask, but "for different reasons", I definitely have some questions.

  • Exactly. Hamas likes those protests so much, they'll make sure there's more dead children.

  • What ethnicity are you talking about?

  • South of Gaza is slightly safer than North. The people who stayed in the North either made a conscious choice to protect Hamas with their bodies, or were forced to stay.

    I don't ask people to die quietly, I think people must demand a humanitarian corridor to Egypt or another safe place.

  • Hamas definitely thinks so.

  • Enlighten me

  • Still better than staying in Gaza

  • To me, as a father of two, there's no moral dilemma here. You get your kids out of the hell no matter what.

    But I guess when you have 14 kids, the priorities are a bit different.

  • In this video by channel 4, they briefly mentioned the story of a wounded boy, who got the permission to get through the Rafah crossing. His Palestinian father didn't let him go, because the father himself didn't get such permission. This is how they care about their children.

  • Genuine question to all Palestinian sympathizers: don't you see how you encourage Hamas to bring even more kids to the active war zone with your comments and protests?

  • What they want is to "kill all Jews". We've already passed that.

  • Israel really have two options at this point: either Palestinian dead kids, or Israeli dead kids. Nobody proposed a third option so far.

  • Name one.

  • But there are two options: kill the terrorist, or don't kill the terrorist. Your choice is to let terrorists win, if they bring enough kids.

  • What is the alternative?

  • based entirely upon their status as Arabs

    Why Israel doesn't genocide 2 million Arabs that are Israeli citizens?

  • The thousands of children weren't the aim. We can argue about was it a war crime or not, probably was. But it cannot be a genocide.

  • gen·o·cide /ˈjenəˌsīd/ noun the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

    From what I understand, the actions of Hamas are clearly fell under this definition. Their goal is to kill all Jews. I don't see how actions of IDF could be classified as genocide, since their declared goal is to kill the Hamas leaders, and not some nation or ethnic group.

  • Well, the original source is Russia Today, which is arguably worse. Reuters and BBC didn't happen to take an interview with this person during his Moscow visit.
