It seems like a Jewish right wing are determined to start a Middle East war and WWIII . Israel is the equivalent of a Fascist state and it’s time to call them out as such .
The pager explosions only happened about a month ago. Hezbollah have had free reign in Southern Lebanon, which UNIFIL was supposed to prevent. They failed, now Israel has to sort it out themselves.
Tel Aviv and Haifa. He expected to love the place and had wanted to visit for many years, but said the general atmosphere was off for the entire trip and anyone in authority was downright rude and hostile when interacting with him - and this is a guy who has visited nearly every country in Europe and many beyond. He felt the negative interaction with Israel's neighbours and the constant security threat was weighing heavily on the state and it didn't feel at all like any country in the West.
Again, what would you call it? Mass murder?
No reply expected...
israel will bomb the post
Blame Hezbollah
Evidence will show it was israel
Investigate themselves
Claim it was a malfunction/accident.
It’s their M.O.
From what I’ve seen reported, the majority support it due to the October 7th attacks that have come after years of bombings and terrorist attacks. We have seen the same in Europe as countries with high levels of immigrates from Islamic countries have had far more right leaning governments win elections. It’s not that surprising.
You obviously can't tell the difference between anti Jewish and anti Zionist.
They are mandated with permission from the Lebanese government to protect civilians and the border by force if necessary.
i think genocide in legal terms is killing civilians on a large scale ,like 1000,s from a specific race or country especially if you are bombing schools mosques shelters built for civilians who have nowhere to go since their homes were bombed and destroyed
It makes no sense to me the idf are now attacking UN peacekeepers in lebanon
Does biden know about this or is it like the idf say feck this our reputation is now just slightly above hitler or stalin there are no lines we will not cross.
Is there any logical reason to attack a Un outpost apart from preferring not to have any witness to the slaughter of civilians ?
Correct - intent is crucial.
Ben Gvir, Smotrich, Netanyahu and other senior Israeli figures have all provided evidence of intent to Genocide.
There are over 500 quotes from them directly associated with genocide. I posted them a few days back.
****ing hell, now some are saying the US were punished with the storms because they are not supporting Israel enough.
Perhaps a few months after Oct 7th 2023, I would agree that it is not surprising though at what point does Israel deem that they have achieved whatever it is that they are trying to accomplish.
I can only speak for myself in that if all my immediate family was wiped out, then I have nothing to live for and the level of vengeance I would have is not measurable, this works for both sides heading into the future.
That would be have been voided once they started firing missiles across the boarder.
It’s a tinder box, both side have been flicking matches at for years. I hope Iran gets absolutely flattened, they are poison for the region. People on here were praising them, they seem to forget they hate the whole ‘West’, including us.
Given the ICJ laid out directives against Israel to prevent genocide, I'd say they were aware at the time that Israel might become a very real risk of being genocidal.
Then Israel carried on and murdered another 10k plus.
The US hates Iran because they overthrew their stooge.
If you're problem is religious states then you'll be no supporter of Israel either.
Mythology is no basis for making people refugees in their own land. Cromwell was called gods lieutenant.
Casualties of war unfortunately, but neither Genocide or mass murder.
Happy to surprise you
Your concern for an invoice from a construction company is admirable. I'm sure there is a thread for that somewhere where you can express your outrage.
What are your thoughts on the IDF deliberately targeting peacekeeping forces?
I know that you do not believe that unless you have your head firmly stuck in the sand. The evidence is all over the place for needless civilian deaths for over a year but you are trying to be cool with your lack of empathy. Nice.
I've friends in Tel Aviv. I'll give you their feedback. Firstly, they want the hostages back, dead or alive. There is so much to unpack around October 7th and 8th for them but now is not the time for that. The authorities, led by Bibi, let the people of Israel down badly on that day. Also noted that he never mentioned the hostages when he addressed the nation.
They feel that they had to respond in Gaza and they got it right and it's time to move on from that. Hezbollah has been continuously firing rockets into Israel since October 8th, so they think it's appropriate to respond to that by targeting the leaders. No issue with the pager attack.
Feelings about the future are mixed. Most are hopefully that a peaceful solution to all this can be found. Others are fearful about more attacks, noting the fact that there is such a huge amount of support outside of Israel for Palestine and Hamas, particularly in the West. One of them believes that Israel won't exist in 20 years times. Says it's only a matter of time before they are subject to an attack that they can't contain.
Why would it not achieve anything?
I read the report from the vigil quoting a couple of Israelis who were clear that they do not support what the Israeli government is doing.
There have been thousands of needless civilian deaths. All preventable if Hamas had just surrendered after they lost the war, instead of hiding out in tunnels while the cities above them burned.
Some of these deaths may be war crimes, but that also requires investigation.
I think we can agree that Oct 7th was an egregious war crime, and their repeated efforts over the last year to target innocent Isreali civilians are also war crimes, just futile ones. Just because all their attempts at mass murder get blown out of the sky doesn't make the attempt any less morally acceptable.
Ah stop, you are well named. Extremely gullible. There are numerous war crimes and you bloody well know it. One side is clearly better at it.
Hamas committed an egregious war crime on Oct7. Agreed. Israel have committed numerous war crimes since then and continue to do so. You refuse to call them out on it. Too cool.
Some egregious stuff mentioned below from a press release yesterday from those pesky UN folks.
UN Commission finds war crimes and crimes against humanity in Israeli attacks on Gaza health facilities and treatment of detainees, hostages | OHCHR
you clearly misunderstand the mandate of UNIFIL
The atmosphere was off in what way? Outside of the airport, what figures of authority did he interact with? Did he have to deal with the police or something? How would he feel the "negative interaction" with Israel's neighbours in Tel Aviv? What constant security threat and from who?
There was one definition posted that is the actual wording from the convention. You are correct regarding the ICJ. They found that South Africa had provided sufficient evidence and their case was plausible. They then went on to issue directives to Israel to ensure genocide did not occur. Which Israel ignored. And that's not going to help the Israeli case.
Can you provide a link to where someone has been convicted and sentenced? No!
Individuals or groups of soldiers committing war crimes is nothing new, for example, the infamous 'My Lai' massacre in Vietnam.
How in your simple mind does this compute? War crimes: Israel 15, Hamas 5, and then declare the bad guy?
The continuing war is the real issue. The quickest solution is for Hamas to surrender.What right do they have to continue their war at this point?
Israel will never be convicted and sentenced. The US will ensure that.
Have a quick read of this. You might notice a pattern.
Israeli war crimes - Wikipedia
The last 2 lines are interesting.
In 2021 Fatou Bensouda, the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, launched an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes in the Palestinian territories since 13 June 2014
Fatou made a big mistake there. She was targetted immediately. The US revoked her visa. Bensouda and her family was reportedly directed threatened by the then Mossad director Yossi Cohen. Netanyahu called her antisemitic. In June 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order that allowed the United States to block assets of ICC employees.
Less than a month before handing over her post to her successor, Karim Khan, she declared "Something I have experienced is pressure, attacks and politicization but what we do in this office is critically important," adding, "History will judge us."
Time to wake up.
Do you be walking around constantly fretting that an evil muslim is going to jump you and cut your head off while taping it?
I provided the actual wording from the convention.
As I've already posted, people are misleadingly quoting as if there is a 'Plausible genocide'.
That is factually incorrect unless you feel better qualified to comment than a retired member of the ICJ.
I've posted this a few times now.
The IDF were told in the last week that Hamas are defeated in Gaza.
The ICC prosecutor has requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, plus three Hamas leaders.
Should warrants be issued and perpetrators arrested, they will be tried and if found guilty, sentenced.
