Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

Empty threat is empty.

Oh! Well nevermind, then.

Please proceed.

Thing is: There’s plenty Hamas & related groups did on Oct 7th to enrage a population - no exaggeration is necessary.

However, there ISN’T enough to justify a genocide … especially since Israelis have been torturing Palestinians for decades.

Israel needs to de-humanize the locals to the point where the population can justify an ethnic cleansing. Hence: Ridiculous accusations of using breasts as foot-balls and mass rape.

“Israel offered an evolving account of the incident as the day progressed.”

Awesome way to say: Making up shit and seeing what sticks

Honest question from an ignorant 'Murican, with no context about what this controversy is about:

To a Hindu, would naming the lion ‘Akbar’ kinda be like naming an elephant ‘Hitler’ in Israel?

Or is this all just a religious/ cultural thing that makes no sense to outsiders such as myself?

… and 68, and 69, and 70, etc, etc, etc…

Anyone who would get enjoyment from watching this kind of event has a diseased soul. As has been said elsewhere: It’s BumFights with a higher budget.

They’re just going to go in and murder everyone that refuses or is unable to flee. We all know it’s going to happen.

Moreover: There will be no political consequences for any European or American policy-maker that is helping this massacre happen.

This is the end of the “Rules based order.” It wasn’t a very good system, but it provided a modicum of protection and humanity in a very brutal world.

Suggest you forward your fact-based info as an Amicus Curiae brief to the ICJ, and/or to Israeli barristers who will deeply appreciate your hard work on behalf of Zionism.

Otherwise … fuck off.

as part of an Israeli plan to construct a security zone just inside Gaza—to which Palestinians would be barred entry.

INSIDE Gaza. They already built their apartheid prison-wall inside Gaza, in violation of international law or Palestinian consent. Now they are going to take even more land for their concentration camp.

The point of the ICJ and laws against genocide and ethnic cleansing is to protect minorities, like, say, Jews.

So if they’re saying that those post WWII rules are now null and void… then there’s nothing to protect them once the US Empire either withdraws or loses interest in providing cover.

Wait … you mean the Canadian government is willing to step in to make sure their people can get access to medications? Isn’t that communism or something?

you’d think members of Israel’s government would know better than to say shit like this

It’s a combination of factors:

1. Israelis view the locals as little more than animals.

2. Israelis have been able to get away with their brutal treatment of the locals for generations now.

This is such anti-semitic blood-libel!

Let me explain: 100% of Hamas members eat bread. Children eat bread. Therefore children deserve to starve.

Checkmate!

Now where do you work? I need to make sure you get fired for being so racist.

Kind of amazed that cops didn’t just randomly start opening fire at anything that moves.

I suspect whats going on here is that the South Africans know what kind of people Zionists are, since the old apartheid government used to partner with them.

Problem with that is it would leave to much unexploded ordinance and toxic residue. The mid-term goal is to have the area settled by Israelis … it’s prime, beach-front property. Why ruin real estate that’s perfect for a retirement condo or inland settlement?

The better strategy would be to take control of the Philadelphi Route that borders Gaza and Egypt - then just dehydrate & starve everyone into submission. While this is happening, Israel could arrange subsidies to people who will ‘voluntarily’ leave for willing nations that would take them.

To be sure: In the short-term it will be horrific. Lots of images of skeleton children, wailing women, and occasional stories of cannibalism.

But whatever. What is anyone gonna do about it? Write a strongly-worded social media post? Vote for someone other than Biden? LOL.

By this time next year the majority of Palestinians will be dead, psychologically broken, or living in some other 3rd-world nation state.

Within 40 years there will be a documentary, produced by a well-meaning Jewish director, that will make Israelis feel slightly uncomfortable about what they did. Grandparents will assure their grand-kids that THEY weren’t responsible for the slaughter. They had a Palestinian friend they used to play with as a child. Really. Such a shame. “Now come along kids; grab your yarmulkes and let’s leave the condo and go have some delicious halva on the Gaza beach.”

If one is willing to prioritize pedantry over human decency - then yes, one could make a case this isn’t technically genocide.

But even if one is willing to concede that point - what’s absolutely happening is ethnic cleansing. Not sure if that’s an improvement.
