They’ve been doing the same for Hamas. Hospital administrator? Hamas. And so Israel bombs out their apartment killing them and their entire family. You know, back when there were apartments.

Same for police.

That one is what gives away Israels genocidal intent. Getting rid of police gets rid of the first line of defense against civil disorder, and the people most likely to do stuff like distribute food and supplies.

Police very rarely end up fighting as militantsin occupied countries, too. Unless you fire them en masse, which occupying countries shouldn’t do, if they’re smart.

Edit: We do know multiple EMT teams and doctors were hit by the beepers.

Hezbollah is a government. Which has a large number of civilian members, including doctors that treat people.

Are the garbage collectors bad guys?

Target large swathes of civilian populations is incredible targeting?

Only to those that think race/religion is what determines if someone is a legitimate target.

They were not exclusively used by Hezbollah.

Also, you’re equating a government with it’s militant wing.

Is it proper to call an Israeli Doctor a member of IDF? That is what you are doing.

Hospital administrators (A government position for non insane countries) are Hezbollah.

Has Israel released the larger number of West Bank Palestinians taken hostage without judicial oversight?

If taking hostages justifies genocide, what does the larger number of hostages that Israel takes justify?

Propaganda has a meaning, and it isn’t “this disagrees with the ideological framework that lets me justify genocide to myself, it must be propaganda”

“I wish Israel would just commit ethnic cleansing instead of genocide”

Do you support the much larger number of Palestinian children from the West Bank being taken hostage by the IDF without a judicial process?

Do you not see the racism in your comment?

Are you that far down the genocidal Nazi hole that you can’t see how racist your comment is, and how racist it will seem to non Nazis?

Remind me again who pulled out of arms control agreements first?

The real question is if the US would be interested.

Churchill led a fucking empire, and during that same time period chose to starve 4 million what would become Bengali’s.

Like, I see the argument you’re making, but the British fucking empire is not the example you want to use.

Huh, that list actually has Goleta. I’m a bit surprised about that.

Good on Wikipedia.

Goleta, CA. WW2

Not really a counter argument, but you’re wrong about the whole not a single city bit.

He’s by definition an autocrat at this point.

He didn’t have an election and just remained in power.

A reminder for those who will automatically respond “Ukraine is fighting for its life”

It definitely is, but the US had an election in the middle of the Civil War, and during WW2.

I literally posted a link, so others don’t have to determine of over cherry picked my quote that shows my assertion.

You don’t believe anything that goes counter to your love for an apartheid government.

You’re right about the ICJ vs ICC which is a mistake I don’t ordinarily make. My only execute for that is I woke up in the middle of the night from a migraine.

Your quotes however are extremely cherry picked, and your description of what they mean is absolutely wrong.

Part of the case was about establishing South Africa’s right to bring the case, but part of it was to determine the plausibility of the charge.

https://www.npr.org/2024/01/26/1227078791/icj-israel-genocide-gaza-palestinians-south-africa

The International Court of Justice has found it is “plausible” that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. In a provisional order delivered by the court’s president, Joan Donoghue, the court said Israel must ensure “with immediate effect” that its forces not commit any of the acts prohibited by the convention.

Donoghue said the court cannot make a final determination right now on whether Israel is guilty of genocide. But she said that given the deteriorating situation in Gaza, the court has jurisdiction to order measures to protect Gaza’s population from further risk of genocide.

But, I’m sure NPR is Hamas, right?

It’s not an opinion piece. It was labeled a correspondence, and isn’t peer reviewed, but the methodology for measuring dead in conflicts where the ability to make such counts is, and they used the conservative side of those calculations. The authors didn’t express regret, merely that some people made claims the article didn’t make.

Such methods are required, because Israel has intentionally bombed every hospital in Gaza to make counting the dead difficult, if not impossible, then insulting the methods required to actually estimate the dead. It sure would be nice if Israel didn’t intentionally destroy all civilian medical infrastructure and send many of the doctors to a torture camp so we could have some actual numbers.

But, that’s the point, isn’t it? That’s also the point of my comment you didn’t bother addressing at all because you know there is no moral defense, even though you’re willing to try and justify the murder of children.

Concentrating people in an enclosed area, and removing their access to food, water, and medicine is both the most common and the most efficient method governments have used historically engaged in the process of genocide.

And starvation kills children first, with the youngest dying the earliest.

It isn’t astounding that you (presumably, based on your instance) are from a country whose highest proportion of people charged with antisemitism are Jewish people protesting the genocide.

Any country that intentionally withholds food, medicine, and potable water from a population it considers problematic is a nation intentionally committing genocide.

It is, in fact, the most common, and efficient, form of genocide ever.

That is just one of the reasons the ICC, the organization literally with the legal authority to determine of some thing is genocide or not determined that Israel is plausibly committing genocide.

You like to talk about truth and nuance a lot. Forgive me if I trust the literal genocide determining organization and not the self confident black and white statement og some asshole on the internet that loves to talk about nuance except when it comes to their own statements.

As to the systemic system of rape and torture, why don’t you read Israels OWN fucking reporting on Sde Teiman.

Any nation that murders at least 100,000 children is fucking evil. And those are not Hamas’s numbers. Those are the Lancet medical journals numbers. I’m not saying they are the most evil, as that would maybe be the British Empire, off the top of my head.

Then why are you trying to provide cover for a country actively engaged in systemized rape, torture, and Genocide?

This is a post where the obvious intent is to whitewash an attempt to murder aid workers by the IDF. Something that continually happens time and time again with every aid group because Israel explicitly doesn’t want the aid coming in.

Questioning the motives of the poster trying to justify yet another atrocity is appropriate.
