But let’s hear them, why “hide” it?

But that’s impossible to argue. You can claim for any ratio that it’s a silent genocide as long as even a single citizen is killed. And we know a war without civilian casualties - even forgetting the situation of Hamas putting civilians forward as shields and even killing some themselves. Where do you draw the line?

Instead of examining the facts, you’re opting for an easy cop-out that requires no proof and cannot be disproved.

And what will make you believe genocide isn’t the end goal? The refugees leaving through Egypt don’t?

There are troops on the ground and the bombings are not indiscriminate, but on legitimate military targets.

Do you believe the IDF is incompetent at doing a genocide then?

Here you go

Rockets literally stored 1m from the doorstep of a class room

The way I see it, Israel is doing its best to free the hospital from Hamas with as minimum innocents getting hurt as it can.

Nice context.

It is actually just a proposal without any weight, which might not even be considered at all by any acting part of government - despite its name, that office usually has very little political power and does nothing but prepare documents and research.

Now, you cannot link me isolated instances older than 5 years - on each we can deep dive into discussion about disagreements (since they are often biased against Israel, and exaggerate or invent some facts, and leave others out… But not always, sometimes soldiers fuck up and do things that they should be judged for, of course it can happen) to support a claim that is only recently made about a supposed policy.

So, the stupid opinion of a retired person (as of 2014 already…) which isn’t even filling an active role in the military, and is already deceased.

Meaning no actual IDF policy or strategy whatsoever.

Happy to see some critical thinking and not taking Hamas and friends words at face value.

And do you have any proof that it wasn’t just some stupid thing somebody stupid said that nothing came out of?

I never even heard of that guy and can’t find him on Google.

By Israel retaliation, do you mean illegal extreme settler violence, or legal military action?

My defensive measures comment was about the reason for the blockades…

Children dying is another matter. That goes back to Hamas being at fault for sacrificing civilians as human shields.

It’s not a collective punishment, these aren’t school children Israel is trying to educate… These are defensive measures

The civilians in Gaza are sacrificed human shields by Hamas, the blockade is also due to Hamas.

If you want to blame anyone for the poor condition of Gaza, blame Hamas.

Let’s save Gaza from Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We’re all on the same side.

What’s described in the article looks like straightforward anti-Semitism to me…

Except Israel doesn’t actually follow that logic…

And now Iran will head human rights of UN. The joke is getting better.
