This is not a genocide. Some of these are horrible incidents of innocents hurt, and justice must be served for any settler or rogue soldier involved.
But this is far from genocide and certainly isolated instances.
If you call this genocide, you kill the meaning of that word.
I live in Israel. It’s entirely possible you and I don’t agree on what an illegal settlement is. But you are welcome to provide the reading material you mentioned…
Can you link references?
Bro, it was Iraq Lebanon Syria Yemen and friends who literally drove their Jews to Israel as refuges of genocides.
If you don’t consider them Palastinians that’s fine.
Palastinians regularly invade Israel with rockets and have also done so with suicide bombings and shooting and knifing etc. and sadly on the 7th with something much more horrible than anything of earlier levels.
Yes, some Israelis are creating illegal settlements, but they’re not condoned by Israel and are taken down.
So what’s beautiful about this is that even if I were to agree with you about whether or not Israel is an apartheid state, and if there is theft of land or not - and make no mistake those things are serious and evil when true - then they are still very far from genocide, I believe the intent of that comment by “mindless murdering”, which is the clear open objective and stance of Hamas.
You mean Hamas attack on Israeli citizens right? Just to clarify
Hamas is doing 100% of what it can. And thankfully yeah, they’re not very good at it (well, recently they had a pretty horrific success).
Israel on the other hand isn’t anywhere near operating at capacity.
Ridiculous notion.
Palastinians can even get work permits and enter Israel.
Context you seem to leave out is wars of defense.
Israel definitely could have treated palastinians better, but not in matters of land… Israel didn’t force them out of their land. It was founded legally and went on to win territory in wars in which it was the defender and offered innocents to stay and gain citizenship.
Later on, the palastinians didn’t agree to several 2 state proposals which Israel did agree to, thus relinquishing again the keys to their own future.
Israel invested and invests into their infrastructure, which they don’t manage well usually, like the water treatment plans Israel transfered to them when exiting Gaza.
Afghanistan’s story is not the same as that of Hamas and will not end the same, I hope as many innocent people of either side come out on top and have a chance at a peaceful future, with Hamas buried and gone.
Gaza and Israel could normallize relations and Gaza could prosper.
Iran is involved, they fund and support Hamas, teach them even.
Except the only real guilty party there is Zanza, and they do end up living peacefully with each other once Zanza is removed.
Hamas is Zanza.
Hamas isn’t their hope. If they were lead by a peaceful and sane govermant, instead of terrorists, Gaza would’ve looked so much better today.
Hamas doesn’t care about Gaza and it’s people, the leaders are corrupt and living abroad, the money that’s meant for schools and services and infrastructure goes to their pockets or weapons, and the biggest prisoner of Hamas is Gaza itself.
You can easily find Hamas own videos and learn from them.
They’re not even pretending, they outright say they’re running a jihadist war against Jews.
How does it serve Israel for Hamas to exist if it wants to eliminate them?
Seems that one might be a mistake. But the rest isn’t, instead they did things like tie children and then shoot them.
Having seen what Hamas did, can you really deny they’re terrorists, on the same level as ISIS? Filming themselves, kidnapping teens, rape and torture, beheading babies… Parading half naked bodies in the streets to spit and cheer at.
I want Netanyahu out of office. But he’s not running around doing that, don’t be ridiculous.
If Israel wanted land why did it agree to several 2 state solutions (which palastinians declined)? Why did it exit Gaza?
Reality…
Arguments, not proof, also unstated ones - we only see drawn conclusions. Israel didn’t confirm or accept blame, but I won’t deny it could’ve been a mistake or a moment of confusion. But that would still not be “attacking evacuation convoys”, but an isolated case, especially since, it seems according to the article that the designation of safe roads happened after the strike - though the timing is also not exact.
Israel does not want to harm innocent civilians. If you don’t believe that, surely you agree that it has nothing to gain from that but bad influence.
No, what we call genocide is:
The deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
