Yepp! Now they get carte blanche to do their desired genocide and ethnic cleansing and media intimidation/narrative supplement.
I mean, if they were looking to do a genocide I don't think they'd bother to use precision strikes, warming knocker bombs, and tell civilians to flee.
Seems to me Hamas with their rhetoric of ending Israel and killing all Jews are the genocidal part. Don't want to see what would happen if they had the military Israel has.
Make no mistake, Israel is still an apartheid state run by awful people, but this is not genocide. This is trying to minimize casualties in an urban combat situation.
They do that so they can justify it afterwards. Warnings dont do anything because the people in Gaza can't leave and Israel knows this. It's by design after all.
They're not being told to leave Gaza as a whole, they're being told to leave the urban areas where Hamas are holed up to avoid civillains caught in the crossfire.
I know, but where are they supposed to go? The Gaza Strip is one of the most densely populated places on earth. Hamas is everywhere in Gaza. The initial deadline of 24 hours was even more impossible. These are not accidents, Israel knows this.
Israel has killed full Palestinian families in Gaza. This isn't people "caught in the crossfire". This is Israel bringing the crossfire to their beds and homes. This is Israel's continuing ethnic cleansing.
One million people can’t move anywhere in 48 hours with no warning. And you know it. What a lying piece of shit you are, defending genocide.
Is it impossible for you to have a conversation without swearing at the other party, you've responded to me twice recently and in both instances you have been thoroughly unpleasant rather than raising any opposing arguments.
Tone policing instead of asking a question is worse.
It's not tone policing to expect people to be able to hold a civilised conversation. Within a few replys that poster had sworn at me several times and accused me or being a fascist and a Nazi. I gave him a chance to talk to me like an adult, he declined so I blocked him.
Do you take issue with people having uncivilised discussions, more so than you’re willing converse on Israel’s uncivilised and what essentially is looking like war crime actions?
Why should people be civilised and when you’re defending a government, that is orders of magnitude stronger than it’s enemy, is murdering innocent people as an act of revenge.
I find your outrage at the comments egregious and abhorrent.
While I don't know about precision strikes, they haven't been warning civilians before striking these past few days, and in fact many times designated an evacuation destination and bombed it. And don't get me started on the white phosphorus. They're definitely not avoiding civilian deaths (I mean why would you try to avoid the deaths of "human animals"). Oh, and I don't see how holding journalists at gunpoint has anything to do with minimizing casualties.
Israel has been genocidal for a while now, but they've been going full holocaust recently.
The IDFs playbook seems awful bad at minimizing casualties.
These strikes are so precise that they now killed about 2k Gazans and around ten of the Israeli hostages. So precise.
They said they would not roof knock this time although it seems international human rights orgs forced them to. Knocking does squat shit if you have around 5 minutes to leave.
Then they bomb them while they flee. Or in the case of internationals, tell them to get to Rafah then leave them bretthless as they discover the Rafah checkpoint is still closed despite Biden's best efforts and an Israeli promise.
Also they told civilians to flee within 24 hours, which many have said was impossible. They created panic and chaos, killed 70 of those people fleeing, then extended the deadline and demand that the hospitals evacuate and leave which the hospitals say is impossible.
Israel is drowning in war crimes now.
That's up to history, sadly, whether it's genocide or not. Genocide has many characteristics, it's not only killing a population by guns or other means.
The definition of genocide does not care about the means, only about the goal or result.
you forgot the part where they bombed the only exit out.
Genocide seems to have lost any kind of definition in the modern age, just like nazi and fascist have over the last decade when they're thrown at everything people don't like.
Oh look, it’s a fascist complaining about accurate descriptions of fascism, defending genocide
So surprising
Can the admins finally nuke these fucks from orbit
Shouldn't you have gone to the Hexbear/Lemmygrad side when the iron wall went up?
Shouldn’t you make like your leader you nazi fuck?
