Genocide = I don’t think so. This is part of propaganda frenzy. Israel has one of the most advanced militaries in the world. They could kill many more in the blink of an eye.
Lol. The ignorance in this thread is astounding. Wake up buddy.
A modern advanced army not out to commit genocide wouldn't drop 10s of thousands of dumb bombs indiscriminately on a civilian population walled in to a territory they can't freely escape.
Half of Israel's 29,000+ munitions dropped on Gaza are unguided.
A similar amount of total munitions were dropped by the US and UK on Iraq over 6 fucking years 2004-2010. A country 1,200 times larger than Gaza (438,314 km2 vs 365 km2).
70% of Gaza's buildings have been damaged or destroyed in the conflict. Nearly 90% of the people (or 2,000,000) have been displaced.
The IDF has targeted the whole healthcare infrastructure, healthcare workers and their families, hospitals, ambulances, religious sites - mosques and Christian churches, universities, municipal buildings and school infrastructure.
The IDF has razed whole sections of Gaza from the map. 21 Israeli soldiers died while setting demolition charges to demo buildings in southern Gaza, when the charges went off early. There are countless Tiktok videos of IDF soldiers celebrating the setting of demo charges and the mass leveling of buildings/infrastructure in Gaza. You're not doing all this if you just want to eliminate Hamas.
The IDF has used white phosphorus munitions, is conducting collective punishment, IDF snipers are targeting civilians seeking shelter, food and emergency care. The IDF has wiped out entire families, there is evidence of field executions and mass killings of detained civilians. Humanitarian aid is being slowed and blocked from entering Gaza where famine is a huge risk now,
countless war crimes.
Over the last few days they have bombed tent villages where 1.3million displaced have sheltered in Rafah, Southern Gaza.
The dead, injured or missing has surpassed 100,000. With over 36,000 dead, over 8,000 women and more than 14,000 children.
336 Healthcare workers have been killed in Gaza
136 UN Staff have been killed in Gaza.
126 Journalists killed.
This is in 130 days. Anyone cheering this on as a normal conflict is a psychopath. This is a slaughter of civilians.
Where is the humanitarian aspect of the conflict? If you want the Gazan population to feel like they have an alternative - how is Israel making civilian life for Palestinian better? They aren't.
The opposite is occurring - there is countless evidence of Israel govt ministers and sections of the Israeli media inciting genocide on national television. Israeli ministers held a conference in January to discuss and plan how they want to setup a new Jewish settlement in Gaza.
There are Israeli protesters actively stopping humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, by blocking trucks at the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
I haven't even mentioned the murderous occupation and apartheid inflicted on the Palestinians on a daily basis in Gaza and the West Bank since the 60s. The term and tactic of 'mowing the grass' in Gaza used by the Israeli govt over countless years.
The reason why it’s not precise with its military strikes is the sickos called Hamas hide their operations behind innocent civilians. The IDF are obsessed to kill Hamas and if Hamas is firing rockets from civilian apartments will fire back more readily now because they desperately want to wipe out Hamas.
In Hitlers war there were 6 million innocent people killed. In order to rid the world of his evil people reluctantly had to evaluate what was worse? The conclusion was that hitler posed a worse threat to the world. This is why war is nasty and horrible and no one wants to see these beautiful children and innocents die. The problem is if Hamas carry on this will never stop. It will be a perpetual cycle. Kill Hamas, all of them who continue on their evil I say. Yep try and do as precisely as possible, They are too much of a risk not just to Israel but the world.
So when I see the innocent children slaughtered in Palestine, I don’t believe the IDF is solely responsible. It’s clear to me that Hamas is more responsible. Blame them. Use your anger against the terrorists, makes sense to me. I wouldn’t support them by carrying out their slogans - like Israel = genocide. That’s just nonsense.
Because Hamas may be operating within the civilian population that gives further justification for indiscriminate bombing? Are you even reading what you a writing? This should mean the IDF must use more precision in their targeting.
The IDF should be using ground forces, going building to building, suburb by suburb if they actually want to remove Hamas. Backed up by humanitarian assistance for the civilian population. They are not killing Hamas by bombing populated areas of Gaza, they are arming Hamas.
I love how fuck heads use WW2 as justification for horrendous acts - The world, post WW2, enacted the Geneva conventions and protocols - the foundation of international humanitarian law because of the atrocities met out during WW2. The conventions emphasize the protection of civilians and minimizing harm during armed conflict.
