Anyone who defends Israel at this point is a genocide denier.
What is Israel supposed to do, though? Just let the Hamas attack go unpunished? I get that there’s something between doing nothing and what they’re doing, but I’m just curious what people think they should have done instead. (Realistically. Obviously leaving is no longer an option for them because all the people who live there.)
This is the same excuse Turkey uses when people bring up Armenian genocide. If we think really hard and cannot find some in-between solution, does that mean the genocide is justified? Is it our job to, or are we even capable of, finding a solution? Is it not the job of politicians or some other professionals?
What do you mean unpunished? Based on the history of Israel and Gaza, the attack on Israel was the punishment. So beyond the fact dropping thousands of bombs is absolutely unacceptable, any lethal retaliation is not going to help the situation. It’s an emotional reaction with devastating consequences.
The lack of basic humanity from that scumbag downpunxx never ceasses to amaze me.Seeing posts of babies pulled from rubble and that cunt posts pictures of an Israel flag and calling for no ceasefire,and calling anyone who wants an end to the slaughter anti-semitic.
What makes you say that? This figure comes from health officials of Palestine, at least according to the article.
I want to qualify this with - we know what israel and the idf are doing is terribly wrong, and under no stretch of the imagination, can their actions be justified.
So, now that that’s clear - the palestinian health authority is directly controlled by HAMAS, and aljazeera is biased in the conflict, due to their relation and ownership.
We cannot trust any information and media reports coming from any source, doing so is a fools errend, and every argument follows this same cycle of futility for this reason.
What we can do, is call for an immediate cease fire and somehow band together internationally to demand an independent tribunal investigate. It may sound like a pipe-dream, but given the reality of this situation, it’s quite literally the only way…
@drktrts historically, death counts coming out of Gaza have turned out to be fairly accurate. Ockham’s Razor would suggest this is likely to be no different in that respect.
This is why humanitarian organizations are using these stats, as Reuters reports.
Okay let’s say Hamas inflated the number by 200%
That’s still 5,000 deaths bruh
Hey it sounds like you know a lot more about this than AP News or the UN, maybe you should get in touch with them.
To be fair, those Palestinians have been dying very anti-semitically.
