Israel’s military has told some 1 million Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza and head to the southern part of the besieged territory. That's an unprecedented order applying to almost half the population ahead of an expected ground invasion against the ruling Hamas militant group.
War crimes was yesterday’s word of the day…isn’t the morning memo out yet?
It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…
You are using a term you don’t fully understand to try to cudgle popular opinion without acknowledging your own hypocrisy of not acknowledging that this began with the slaughter of civilians to begin with. I’m sure countries like Iran love you for it,
You don’t know if it’s a short time. The time is not specified. If Hamas uses human shields, is that not a war crime?
Don’t forget the demolition of houses, and the stealing of land too.
Hey, you’re not allowed to talk about the decades of an apartheid state’s treatment of these people or the systematic destruction of their infrastructure to be stolen by illegal settlers or the fact that Israel is directly responsible for creating Hamas; all the history for this conflict started like 6 months ago!
Yes if Hamas uses human shields, and that is actually a war crime, which I have to believe it is but loopholes and exclusions abound in treaties, then that IS a war crime. Full stop.
Does that make it okay for others to commit war crimes?
If someone rapes or kills someone daughter, does that mean that the father gets a free pass to rape or murder the original rapist/murderer’s daughter even though she had nothing to do with it other than by happenstance of being the rapist/murderer’s daughter?
Just to reiterate, Hamas committing war crimes is Bad!
But, what you are saying is Hamas strategy of human shields should work. Israel has no recourse?
Yes, that’s sort of how human Shields work.
If you’re willing to kill an innocent to get your way you’re the bad guy in that situation.
And just to be perfectly clear here, I do live in America, and we have been the bad guy many fucking times.
I fucking hate it and I don’t understand why none of the rest of you can learn from our fuck ups.
Forgive us sir, I didn’t realize that civilians getting burned with white phosphorus, highly NSFL/NSFW was such a boring event for you.
But in reality you are probably just numb as all of us to what is happening because:
There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.
There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.
But today’s word of the day is war crime, tomorrow’s word of the day doesn’t have to be.
