Also it’s usually Hamas that chooses where military engagements will happen so are always ready to record everything.

So in your mind hamas is the ones using the israeli airforce to drop flyers stating that the area is about to be hit by Israel's artillery, MOABs or White phosphorus?

And the civilians filming with their phones are to blame for the documentation of what happens when their homes are bombed out or when the IDF come through and evict them from their homes under threat of death or worse, being sent to Sde Teiman or in the case of their kids, to the Ofer military detention center for children.

Imagine seeing the dismembered corpse of a loved one plastered all over the internet. So those images don’t get broadcast very much.

IMAGINE SEEING IT FIRSTHAND AND SEEING THE MASS MEDIA OF THE WORLD SAY IT'S JUSTIFIED

    If the goal was to kill as many Palestinians as possible, why would they drop flyers?

    IMAGINE SEEING IT FIRSTHAND AND SEEING THE MASS MEDIA OF THE WORLD SAY IT’S JUSTIFIED

    No war is justified, that's a very 19th century way of thinking. This is the thinking that leads to atrocities like October 7, which was a genocidal act which you want to pretend was "justified".

    A war can be necessary (not justified) in response to a genocidal act to prevent such actions from occurring again. When terrorists take hostages into a city, a ground war in an urban environment becomes necessary. This kind of war will lead to massive civilian casualties. Hamas knew this when they took hostages into Gaza. But an opportunity to create propaganda is more important to Hamas psychopaths than the lives of Palestinians. The success they've had with this propaganda means that in the future they will seek out more opportunities to create scenarios where Palestinians will die.

    The Iranian regime that uses Palestinians as cannon fodder to serve their interests will likely continue to do so. Doesn't seem like a regime change will happen there unfortunately. You will continue to promote hatred and "justification" for future genocidal acts by Hamas. Because of these factors, there's a significant probability there will be another Gaza war in around 20 to 30 years, with the same result as this one. But you'll get more photos of dead children to make you feel some righteous hatred. I think that's all you care about. You don't really care about Palestinians enough to try to find a way to peace.

    Why do you pose this question as if theres doubt it's happening?

    https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-867020

    Psychological warfare against civilians and a "well we gave them warning that we were going to bomb the area and that anyone remaining would be deemed an enemy combatant" ethos that the IDF is known for using to justify the wholesale slaughter of civilians.

    This is the thinking that leads to atrocities like October 7, which was a genocidal act which you want to pretend was “justified”.

    Following this with "wars are necessary" and tacking on "(not justified)" as if you didn't justify wars by saying that Israel is justified in genociding the palestinians because of what you've been told hamas did on october 7th.

    But you’ll get more photos of dead children to make you feel some righteous hatred. I think that’s all you care about. You don’t really care about Palestinians enough to try to find a way to peace.

    So you admit that Israel is killing children

    there’s a significant probability there will be another Gaza war in around 20 to 30 years, with the same result as this one.

    The only remaining land in Gaza that is unoccupied is a strip of seafront 105km², where 2 million people have been kettled into. For comparison that's a quarter of the population of London, condensed into an area thats less than 10% its size.

    But please do co tinue to try and tell me how and what I think, fascist.

    I'm not doubting they're dropping flyers. I'm asking why a country intent on genocide would ever drop flyers instead of just dropping bombs? Why engage in psychological warfare on people you intend to kill?

    Be careful, you're giving evidence that it's a war, not a genocide. That kind of talk will get you banned in these parts.

    Following this with “wars are necessary” and tacking on “(not justified)” as if you didn’t justify wars by saying that Israel is justified in genociding the palestinians because of what you’ve been told hamas did on october 7th.

    Ah ok, so you're just straight up denying genocidal acts now. Do you also believe Hamas didn't take hostages into Gaza?

    Anyway, you don't actually care about atrocities occurring, you're fine with it as long as it's against women and children that "deserve it".

    But please do co tinue to try and tell me how and what I think, fascist.

    How do you define the term "fascist"? Just people that don't agree with you?

    You're revealing how you think. Keep talking. You're the one revealing how unhinged the anti-Israel movement is, not me.

    Because psychological warfare is a part of the tactic employed to make life impossible for every Palestinian

    Be careful, you’re giving evidence that it’s a war, not a genocide.

    Did you miss the original post that's an entire archive of Israels crimes against humanity or are you being intentionally dense?

    Ah ok, so you’re just straight up denying genocidal acts now. Do you also believe Hamas didn’t take hostages into Gaza?

    Point at where I've denied genocidal acts.

    Anyway, you don’t actually care about atrocities occurring, you’re fine with it as long as it’s against women and children that “deserve it”.

    Once again, trying to tell me how I feel about something and framing it as if I'm somehow uncaring because you don't actually have any arguments against the facts I'm talking about.

    I'm calling you a fascist because you're denying Israel's war crimes and defending their genocidal actions against Palestinians, trying to say that hamas taking hostages somehow justifies the wholesale destruction of an entire group of people (collective punishment is also a war crime.)

    Feel free to continue to defend these genocidal zionists with logical fallacies and ad hominems, I'm sure it'll convince people that you're on the right side of history.

    OK:

    because of what you’ve been told hamas did on october 7th (emphasis added)

    You're saying "you've been told" implies that you think Hamas didn't do these horrific things. Which explains why you're so warped. You believe everything bad about the racial group you hate and doubt anything negative about those that are against those you hate.

    You've yet to provide any evidence of what you believe outside of positing that "hamas massacred villages" or anything to refute what I've said

    It has nothing to do with racial groups and everything to do with the overwhelming evidence of crimes against humanity that we have witnessed happening live for the past four years.

    Either post your sources or pound sand.

    In your opinion is this soldier throwing a stun grenade into a civilian's car, then blocking the door to trap everyone inside was hamas's fault, and not more evidence of warcrimes perpetrated by the IDF?

    I'm not denying warcrimes aren't happening. It's a war, and these things will happen.

    An old guy in my hometown killed a civilian in WWII for no goddamn reason. He wasn't court martialled, just chewed out by his CO, and they moved on. The other old fellas in my town wouldn't talk to him, but no real punishment.

    Do you now think that Canada committed genocide in WWII?

    If you had video of all the war crimes from another war and kept watching those videos back to back over and over again, you'd think any war is a genocide.

    You should be disgusted by the things that happen in war. War is a horrible thing. Only children think war is like a CoD game.

    Personally, I don't want another Gaza war to happen. Promoting hatred of Israel makes it more likely another Gaza war will happen, and it will have a similar result to this one. Is that what you want?

    "It's a war and these things will happen" saying that like bombing refugee tents is a natural thing that "just happens" as if there aren't international laws that state these things should never happen. "Never again" but not if the people are brown.

    I am disgusted, this is why I am so vehemently against these things happening, and why I so strongly condemn the acts of this settler colony.

    If you don't want another gaza war to happen why are you defending the acts as if they're a natural part of what goes on when an internationally supported state kills people at a scale we have not witnessed since the 40s.

    Water has been shut off by israel

    Power has been shut off by israel

    Palestinian people cannot leave gaza freely and are subjected to disproportionately harsh checks and control measures when crossing through any checkpoints

    Over 1000 athletes have been killed

    Nearly 900 journalists have been killed (more than every war since WWII combined.)

    1500000 civilians displaced from south Lebanon alone

    As of January more than 1500 killed in the israeli invasion of Lebanon, bridges, schools and hospitals have been reduced to rubble.

    How is any of this acceptable to you?
