One might describe that as a concentration camp.
The Israeli government has declared this comment anti-semitic and offensive.
Unfortunately they weren't able to show how it was false.
Followed by an accidental missile.
"Whoops, we pinky swear we'll investigate ourselves for that. Anyway, since they're all gone now, we can go back to normal relations with the rest of the world, right?"
in defence because they started it
They do, openly now.
the mass expulsion and killing of one ethnic or religious group in an area by another ethnic or religious group in that area
U.N. Definition
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
When this whole conflict started I definetely had sympathy for Isreal, it would suck to be under rocket and terrorist attacks frequently.
However this response is so massively disproportioned and going on for so long I don't think it could be described as anything else but a total genocide.
And American is providing the weapons ... disgusting.
it would suck to be under rocket and terrorist attacks frequently.
Two years and you still don't see who the aggressor is?
In 2023 alone before October 7, Israel killed 242 Palestinians which includes 47 children. Israel killed 47 Palestinian children in 2023 alone before October 7.
The Gaza ghetto uprising might have been gruesome and unpalatable, but it's Gaza that was defending itself against Israel, not the other way around.
While it might have been a response initially, it was probably quickly seen as a perfect opportunity to finally set long-hedged extinction plans in motion.
It's kettling at a national level. Virtually imprison innocent people for long enough, in conditions bad enough, and it's no surprise that they lash out. Likud was waiting for it and used it as the pretext for the extermination of the Palestinian people.
You sympatized with the occupier? Ignoring decades of oppression by israel before hamas even existed? All the crimes hamas comited in 7 of october was fone by israel for decades
How does a people that experiences the horrors of concentration camps and genocide, just a few generations later, get to the point of perpetrating the same crimes that their predecessors were victims of?
By not experiencing the horrors of concentration camps and genocide. Zionists like to Holocaustwash their atrocities, but the people who built and now populate Israel for the most part have nothing to do with the Holocaust. Prominent Zionist leaders in British Palestine were all there before the war, and half the population of Israel is of Middle Eastern—not European—descent. In fact at least at first (not sure if it's a thing now) Zionist Jews actively looked down on Holocaust victims and survivors as weak diaspora Jews who suffered because of their weakness, unlike strong Aliyah Jews who would never go through such a thing.
This is going to cause a stir but Israel is not in large part comprised of nor lead by Holocaust survivors and in fact there was a vocal refusal to deal with or acknowledge Israel because proto Israelis kept bombing schools and hotels while also murdering Muslim and Christian leaders that opposed the creation of an Israeli state in currently settled land displacing the native populace.
Don't get me wrong there are survivors, there are survivors who were influential in both the creation and operation of Israel but there were never enough Jews in mandatory Palestine which is why for like what 100 years Israel has called Jews to return "home" (Hok Ha-Shvut).
It's neither here nor there but this insistence they have some deeper understanding of the Holocaust then any other nation is infuriating.
*single target area
Once they're all in there they'll claim "hamas is using the camp for terrorism" and just blanket it with 2000 lbs dumb bombs, while calling it a "precision strike".
Ah yes, you could say it's a camp where they can be nicely concentrated.
A concentration camp by any other name
No you see it's very different actually because this is an entire city, like Warsaw or any other random example.
With communal showers and heating chambers am I right?
To get rid of lice
...and then bomb it?
Why waste a bomb when you can use no-food for free? Oh, maybe it's a recreational bombing.
They plan to do what to the entire Gaza population? What was that verb?
i think the verb was concentrate, concentrate them into a sort of city or other temporary housing.
Ghetto, the word you are looking for is ghetto.
Gaza was already that.
Yeah, this is more of a camp. A camp where they can concentrate a specific sub-population of people into.
Don't know if there's a specific word for that.
Gee, I'm sure this didn't happen with that other genocide /s
Genocide deniers have blood on their hands for allowing this shit to escalate even further
Republicans right now: "Thats antisemitic talk!"
Huh. I see they’re shipping right past concentration camps and moving right to a concentration city.
Good idea. Concentrate all civilians in one small area. Easier to bomb.
They've been doing that for over a year. The area is just a lot smaller now.
Is that what we are calling concentration camps these days?
No, it's a "humanitarian" city, so that probably means that they will do a "precision" airstrike on it at some point. It's not a concentration camp, it's a concentrated target.
Never again unless we're doing it to someone else!
-Israel
Wife has been binging Law and Order SVU recently and I noticed there's a lot of episodes where they have abused children turn into abusive adults, with the explanation that it's a natural response of the brain trying to get in a position where it will never be vulnerable again.
No idea if that theory has any merit, but if true I wonder if that can also happen in a larger scale, to an entire society instead of just to an individual.
Zionists arent victims they are supremecists. They were up to the building Israel plan (violently when necessary) before ww2 even happened. They are simply racist terrorists.
It has literally been happening in the region for over 80 years. Why do you think Hamas even exists?
Concentration camp. The Jewish people are building a Concentration camp
The Israeli people are building a concentration camp. There are millions of Jews worldwide that have nothing to do with this. Don't be part of the problem.
Death camp
Which will mysteriously burn to the ground....
Oh no, they'll bomb the everliving shit out of it, right in broad daylight, and claim they located the last member of Hamas there.
“Concentrate” them huh…
Like… in some sort of “camp”?
War is peace.
It's clearly not a genocide. I know this because the media has told me to reject the evidence of my eyes and ears. It seemed pretty final and essential.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
