What you mean back on the menu?
Pretty much genocide is what Israelis were doing the entire time. Now it’s gonna be under the guise of a war. I feel bad for Palestinian civilians.
Setting up settlements on the westbank would be something you could consider genocide. Yet, especially Isreal probably knows a thing or two about genocide, considering both their ancient and recent history.
Their rough history and neighborhood does in no way justify the things they are doing but it very well explains them. No idea what Palestine was thinking though. Things are going to be ugly for them, like Sodom and Gomorrah getting doused in flames levels of ugly…
Hamas != Palestinians
I think it’s very important to make that distinction.
Hamas wasn’t thinking. Their shitty extremist ideology makes them believe that blowing themselves up will secure a place in heaven with Allah. They are delusional fanatics.
So Israel != IDF? I mean you’re right but I thought sticking to one frame of reference (country) might be best when the thread was about them.
As opposed to previously, when Israel respected Palestinians and their borders.
This is a geopolitical version of “I’m not touching you” that involves sniping the limbs off of children.
It is antisemitic (under the IHRA definition) to suggest that Israel would commit war crimes
I just read it. Which part exactly (please quote) do you think supports what you claimed?
Here’s the link to the definition, which includes some examples: What is antisemitism? About the IHRA non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism
I’ll make it even easier. Here is the full text of the definition:
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
I think we can still point out israeli war crimes without being called antisemitic under that definition.
Being critical of the Israeli State and IDF is actually a very mainstream, well-accepted opinions in my experience. For instance Netanyahu’s fascistic bullshit is widely criticized, even within Israel.
However, Hamas apology or antisemitic remarks are not acceptable; so whenever someone says “we can’t even criticize Israel!! Freedom of speech!!1!!”, I strongly suspect that they’ve done either of these things and got a righteous clapback.
We are at the point where most of the world wants to burn down “Palestine” to the ground.
