    “tragic mishap” is when it accidentally happens once a decade, not when it “accidentally” happens every day

    After 24 hours of absolutely awful videos on TV and social media, Netanyahu finally reverses his previous press statement about “precision bombs” and “precision intelligence” targeting a refugee camp in a IDF-designated safe zone and decides to pretend the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

    Rashida Tlaib is right, why won’t Biden say anything about his precious red line being violated?

    Over 30.000 lethal mistakes since October if you consider that civilians are indeed not the target. Plus the 70.000 collateral injuries

    The star wars stormtroopers are better at shooting than israel!

    Have they tried not standing next to Hamas commanders to be used as human shields?

      This is a lazy comment, and frankly everybody is standing next to everybody else in Gaza from the perspective of 2000 pound bombs. It is a tiny area.

      Your capacity to feel empathy for a genocide of people has clearly been broken your beliefs, and you should be ashamed that your beliefs are so poorly constructed that they make you worse off than an ignorant child who knows nothing but is capable of feeling empathy intuitively.

        That’s you’re opinion. In fact it is my empathy for the hundreds of millions of people that will suffer for a war between Iran and Israel that is formative to my opinions on this. You actually do not give a fuck, in my view, because you seem content to sentence millions of people to live and die under religious terrorism. It is your opinion that is malformed and shortsighted.

          Your words are empty thoughts thrown into the wind.

          We all know how disingenuous you are being, the question is do you?

          The genocide of Palestinians by Israel must stop NOW, period.

          Israel is on a mass scale murdering, starving, bombing and shooting innocent women, children and men in the tens of thousands in Gaza.

            Famine has been “imminent” since November, the reports of widespread famine are not credible. Aid has been flowing thanks to Israel since like week two. Give it a rest.

            At any rate it is the leadership of Hamas that has led to any want of food in Gaza, and only through western charity that every person in Gaza didn’t starve to death fifty years ago.

            99.3% of Palestinians haven’t died despite your sensational claims. You don’t think you’ve blown this out of proportion a tad? Maybe slightly overly emotional about it? Like what is this mass scale you’re talking about? Mass scale means a small town worth of people? On what planet?

    I guess the whole genocide thing is unintended, huh?

    “Whooops, we accidentally wiped out the whole population of this land. Whadya know, nobody lives here now. Somebody should definitely claim it!”

      35,000 out of 5,000,000 is 0.7%.

      You’re saying they have 99.3 percent left to go?

      At .7% every eight months this is going to take another 94 years.

        7 months and you’re still getting this wrong.

        Genocide does not have to exterminate everyone to be considered genocide. Erasing the nation is also a definition of genocide; and Netanyahu has publicly admitted to this. His party charter says to eliminate Palestine. He said he will never allow a Palestinian state, and that Palestinians don’t exist and are just Jordanians. His cabinet has toyed with the idea of forcibly deporting all Palestinians. The ICC and ICJ have spelled out how Netanyahu’s policies meet the definition of genocide.

        Can we let this falsehood die already?

          I know that. The person I replied to suggested they are trying to wipe out all Palestinians. It’s absurd.

          The ICJ spelled out how a collection of cherry-picked allegations reported in the press if proven true in court, could constitute the crime of genocide.

          The unnattributed “reports” heavily relied upon in South Africa’s application are going to be a heavy lift to prove in court.

            Do you honestly believe Netanyahu loves Palestinians and that the quotes in court were merely cherry-picked? His whole career is against the state of Palestine; it’s even on his damn campaign website and in the party charter. If you can’t be convinced of the blindingly obvious truth I can’t help you.

            You can try to attack Sourh Africa as much as you want but Israel’s military ally Egypt also signed onto the charges. So did a lot of NGOs and EU countries. If you want to live in denial then that’s on you, but don’t try lying to the rest of us.

              I don’t support Netanyahu at all. He’s a maniac and he must be tossed from office. I have a lot of hope he will be soon.

              South Africa’s complaint is dog shit. It features like 200 links to news articles as its proof. It’s anti semitic fan fiction. The only concern I had to the allegations is when did South Africa start doing Iran’s bidding?

              I’m just ballparking here, but those 200 links describe the same maybe 50 events. Of those 50 events, 35 say right on their face they are unconfirmed reports, of the other 15, 12 are completely blown out of proportion and exaggerated, stories of snipers shooting unarmed kids and so forth, or that any person in North Gaza was killed without a warning, or even now in this thread, the lie that Israel target civilians when in fact they were targeting Hamas commanders, the other 3 are legit claims.

              I’m not impressed by a handful of bone fide war crimes. It’s a war. Crimes are going to happen. Maybe try, I don’t know not starting a war? Especially if it’s one you cannot possibly win. One side is probably going to try and cover them up, and maybe if they can’t cover it up they will fire everyone involved and prosecute some of them. Not perfect, not even ideal.

              The other side, though, guaranteed, is committing war crimes, on purpose, as part of an intentional strategy, and the perpetrators are given cash prizes, funded by the Iranian Immamate and the Qatari monarchy. Everytime they step out without a uniform, war crimes. Every indiscriminate rocket they launch at civilians, war crimes. Every hostage, war crime. Mass shooting, war crime. Do I need to tell you the suicide bombings are also war crimes?

              Like wtf are you even talking about here?

              If Israel cannot prove up their claims in court, that will convince me otherwise. I’m sure they’re going to have no trouble for virtually all of the most sensational claims against them.

                Israel isn’t prosecuting war crimes, actual documented confirmed war crimes by reporters and videos and admissions by the perpetrators and actual official statements by Israeli government officials, which is why it ESCALATED to an ICJ case when other wars don’t. I’m not even referring to the minimal prosecutions like IDF sentenced an Israeli to 3 months of community service as punishment for murdering a Palestinian, but the many others that the government refuses to even investigate or prosecute. The fact that you defend and condone war crimes as part of a war you think is justified tells everyone all we need to know about you. Peace.

        Tell me you don’t understand the meaning of genocide without telling everyone you don’t understand the meaning.

        also considering how old the number of 35,000 and number of continued attacks it’s gonna be a much higher number now not that it will change the minds of people like you

          Blah blah blah. This post has nothing to do with the legal definition of genocide.

          I replied directly to someone who made the idiotic statement that Israel is trying to genocide all of Palestine. You have to be truly delusional to think that’s the case.
