Israel/Palestine Thread

As a civilian yes 100 percent when they are this good at building them, or maybe hamas dont like losing more martyrs

Where would you rather be in the apartment blocks or in the vast network of hamas tunnels

So as your post even proves, he never said it. You are the one who says it refers to all Palestinians. And the genocidal language is your own interpretation of it.

Israel are not committing or about to genocide. Anymore than the Allies were trying to commit genocide when they blockaded Axis powers or laid siege to cities and islands.

If they deployed their full conventional military might, Israel could cause vastly more casualties. They are not doing so, and will not. And you know this.

Some would argue here that if it doesnt meet their exact definition of a war crime then its not wrong. Or its just war. Or Israel didnt start it. Or the civilians should have fled. Basically victim blaming.

But there hasn't been anything like the same level of post 1948 exodus from countries like the US, UK. France, even Germany, in fact in those countries the Jewish population has remained more or less stable or even increased.

Can you see what it is yet?

It's not Islamophobia when they really are trying to kill you.

You made the claim that Gallant's words specifically referred to Hamas. They did not.

"Except the Israeli government minister never said that about Palestinians. He said that HAMAS were human animals and declared a siege. That's not the same thing."

Anybody familiar with Trumpist propaganda which targets Jews while trying to pretend otherwise knows exactly what Israel is up to here, and that indeed is to imply that the population of Gaza are "human animals". That's how propaganda works - weasel worded protestations that the bleedin' obvious meaning of something does not mean the bleedin' obvious meaning of something.

I agree, but the blame lies with Hamas who make damn sure there are children present at every legitimate military target.

No. I made no claims - the claims come from you. I refuted the claim they referred to all Palestinians and did so with reference to media articles. I made no original claim of my own. And as the info linked in your post of what was actually said proves nowhere was it stated. It is your intepretation of it.

It refers to Hamas and their fighters for their horrific attacks, executions of babies, civilians, assaults and rapes.

All the more obvious that it did not refer to all Palestinians when you consider most Palestinians live in the West Bank.

Explain how people are supposed to leave after you order people to leave while bombing them then preventing them from leaving.

That is, at the same time one of the most brillant and idiotic answers i have ever seen on boards.ie

If my life our the life of my family depended on it i we would be in that tunnel like a shot

You argue that the people have no way to escape the shelling, i give you an example of how they could, but now its not good enough

What are you looking for, celebrate the hamas slaughter on the sunday, limousine ride out on the Monday

It's strange that people refer to Hamas instead of Palestine, as if Palestine has nothing to do with the atrocities carried out. That would be the same as blaming the Tories if the British launched an attack on Ireland.

People can pretend and wave their Palestinian flags around.

Exactly, and this is hamas propaganda

They have a printer they can print the word rocket

Lets do it
