And how exactly did you get “I hate reading” from “I hate genocidal fucks like you”?
No need to equivocate like that, your stance is clear.
What the fuck do you mean? I have explicitly stated what my stance on this is, multiple times, it’s the same everytime, if you think it’s any different that’s a problem with your comprehension.
Weirdly you keep avoiding actually mentioning any, just going on with vague “both sides” bullshit and “not enough evidence” patheticism.
Since it clearly missed you; DO YOU THINK THERE’S A GENOCIDE GOING ON IN GAZA?
Do you think Israelis are at an equal risk of being the victims of genocide as Palestinians are?
ANSWER CLEARLY; since I’m clearly incapable of perceiving anything other. (Or you just equivocate because you know what is the right side of history but you don’t actually want to go against your brainwashing of DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL.)
perhaps, one could argue that i was making a point about the intricacies in small things making determination of larger concepts a much harder process
You didn’t read it, got it. You skimmed and concluded “there’s no sentence” and thought that’s it. That’s exactly my point about the way you “argue.”
just for the record here, i’m not going to do it
Yes, I knew you wouldn’t, because you don’t have the spine to stand behind this garbage with your own name, face or even voice. Probably because it’s high and crackling. You can’t put your money where your mouth is, because you don’t believe or even understand what you’re pushing.
it is extremely difficult to give a concise answer to the question, adding all of the propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation out there on the internet, from both sides
No, it isn’t, unless you’re pushing Israeli propaganda.
Again. Literally the vast fucking majority of the world agree it’s a genocide.

These are just the ones officially supporting South-Africa’s ICC case. Not every country which condemns Israel.
At Emergency Special Session, General Assembly Overwhelmingly Backs Membership of Palestine to United Nations, Urges Security Council Support Bid
The Assembly adopted the resolution titled “Admission of new Members to the United Nations” (document A/ES-10/L.30/Rev.1) by a recorded vote of 143 in favour to 9 against (Argentina, Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, United States)
You know why a majority is for giving Palestine official UN status and Israel and other pussy-states are against it? Because as soon as it goes through, it’s much simpler to show that the legal definition of a genocide (which you tried looking up on fucking wikipedia :DDD, here have an actual document lol.
Here’s the Israeli Defence Minister directly announcing that they are fighting “HUMAN ANIMALS”. (Perhaps google the word “dehumanisation”.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPdR3E4hCk (edit forgot to add this link)
In short, i have no reasonable way, manner, or method, to make a well informed opinion of the events taking place
Yeah, because you’re **PURPOSEFULLY IGNORING ALL THE INTERNATIONAL LAW EXPERTS AND GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS LOUDLY CRYING GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE GENOCIDE."
You’re like a Flat Earther insisting he’s using objective science. You’re like a scientologists, denouncing psychiatry. You’re like a transphobe screaming “there are only two genders.” ALL the fucking experts disagree with you, but you’re not man enough to admit when you’re wrong, or even man enough to understand you should stop shaming yourself online.
Ah, there’s nothing I can do to fix a sick puppy like you, so I don’t know why I’m wasting my time on a propaganda-troll. You will never admit Israel is raping and pillaging Palestinians, and it’s disgusting and it should make you really, really fucking concerned about your own psyche that you have this sickly desire to acquiesce to shit you know isn’t real.
But I guess those UN offices are just “anti-semites looking to genocide Israel”, huh?
For the record, I love reading. It’s just that you’re not producing text. You’re producing gibberish you think is convincing rhetoric. It’s sort of like watching a five-year old play kitchen. You have absolutely no idea of the words you use and your rhetoric is elementary.
You ignore the evidence , then you equivocate and move the goalposts.
You ignore the fact that ICJ and ICC courts take a significant amount of time. If you were right now being held for trial for allegedly having raped 800 children and there were hundreds of hours of filmed evidence of you doing it, do you think it’d mean you’re innocent because you’ve not yet got a guilty verdict?
You’re despicable. And it shows from you getting so utterly pissed when I sussed out so easily that you’re probably part of this group and of Jewish American descent, went to your birthright (because you couldn’t afford a holiday anytime else) and got brainwashed so bad that now you’re getting literally cross-brained trying to not to admit what the scum of Israel are doing.
Why do you ignore all the evidence?
I read all your childish garbage utterings. None of them have a lick of an argument behind them. It’s like piss-poor rhetoric from a malnourished Soviet official who started vodka on an empty stomach; zero literacy and stumbling all over in a panic because they know they’re in trouble.
And how exactly did you get “I hate reading” from “I hate genocidal fucks like you”?
i’m mocking you for saying the same thing repeatedly, it’s fucking cringe bro. We get it, you cannot stomach the thought that sometimes people disagree with you.
Weirdly you keep avoiding actually mentioning any, just going on with vague “both sides” bullshit and “not enough evidence” patheticism.
ironically, i do answer it, you just keep ignoring it, for some reason, i’ve given a very clear answer.
Do you think Israelis are at an equal risk of being the victims of genocide as Palestinians are?
oh good, a good question, i actually really like this question.
To answer your question, if we’re talking from a military power standpoint, israelis have a significantly less risk of “being genocided” as opposed to “palestinians” though this is within the context of this war specifically. The reason why is because israel is a massive military state, (they own f35s btw, they’re basically a US proxy with how much military power they have) Palestine on the other hand, gets weapon shipments from iran, as per usual. I believe there are also a few other imports they have, but they’re the usual primary suspects, from my understanding though it’s primarily iran using it as an excuse to proxy war.
Looking at a state size and population metric, it’s hard to argue against the claim as well, there are simply more people in israel.
If we’re arguing outside the context of the war, from the perspective of the middle east? I don’t know, depends on how well relations between israel, and the rest of the middle east are i suppose. Palestine would be basically the rest of the middle east, aside from the fact that it borders israel (again, we’re ignoring everything else, this is a purely geographic/demographic based analysis)
Wow! Look at that, when you ask good questions, it’s almost like it’s possible to receive good answers!
ANSWER CLEARLY; since I’m clearly incapable of perceiving anything other. (Or you just equivocate because you know what is the right side of history but you don’t actually want to go against your brainwashing of DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL.)
since you seem to think i cannot criticize israel at all, it is clearly impossible for me to do so. Even though i have said NOTHING about israel, i will now go on to criticize israel and their wartime efforts.
Let’s see, notably in the public eye, the civilian causalities have been rather high. But then again, russia has also lost 300,000 troops in combat, granted not civilian, they’re mostly conscripts and draft picks. (a significant portion of which have been ethnic minorities living in russia, so if we’re talking about genocide, arguably russia has been technically been doing a genocide, just very quietly) Perhaps that should make you sick to your stomach as well. Ukraine has also suffered losses, but they have also evacuated millions of people, to my knowledge. So most of which would’ve been people who didn’t evacuate (likely by choice) or soldiers.
The public eye is rather boring though, so let’s go a little bit deeper, israels control over gaza over the last period of however long it’s been going on for is rather concerning. There’s very little freedom living in gaza, but then again, hamas did decide to war against israel, so how much of that is really “israel bad” and how much of that is “hamas bad” is a question left up to interpretation i suppose. These kinds of thing when in war are so inconsequential it’s not even worth considering though.
Israel absolutely has all kinds of propaganda, i’m not versed on what is confirmed propaganda, but i’ve heard a lot of stuff is, and a lot of stuff isn’t though i’m almost certain that some of it is.
Public PR wise, netanyahu is terrible. Unless you’re jewish probably. He seems like a goofy guy, seems to be stuck in an awkward spot where most of his government isn’t supporting him, except for the far right, so he seems to be leaning on them in order to stay in power. The public in israel doesn’t seem to be happy with what he’s doing.
Long term, israel doesn’t seem to have a plan, they seem to either war constantly, or not. They don’t seem to have any sort of long term solution at all. Which is obviously, not helpful at all. They really seem content to just, keep warring. When they do stop warring, they seem to cause problems. Often times shit happens that really shouldn’t (arguably hamas is one)
You didn’t read it, got it. You skimmed and concluded “there’s no sentence” and thought that’s it. That’s exactly my point about the way you “argue.”
nah i just don’t remember what i typed because it’s been like three fucking days and i’m not scrolling up to make a coherent point about some shit i’m clearly philosophically babbling about.
No, it isn’t, unless you’re pushing Israeli propaganda.
yes it is? It’s literally war? Go find ANY open source intelligence community working on military stuff, anywhere, and please tell me how confident they are in what they find, and what they predict. You’ll find that they aren’t confident at all, and in fact just propose ideas. It’s really quite boring, but i find it rather interesting.
Again. Literally the vast fucking majority of the world agree it’s a genocide.
again, i think this is a slight mischaracterization. This is a list of countries around the world who support south africas legal inquiry to whether or not this is considered to be genocide. Meaning that they would like for a just answer to the question at hand.
“The president expressed his support for South Africa’s initiative to call on the International Court of Justice to order Israel to immediately cease all acts and measures that may constitute genocide”
Hey look at that! it’s a quote directly from the segment you quote from on wikipedia! It says EXACTLY what i said it would probably say, isn’t that weird? It’s almost like i know some things.
it’s much simpler to show that the legal definition of a genocide (which you tried looking up on fucking wikipedia :DDD
woah, look at that, an actual legal definition, you could’ve just linked that in the first post, or comment, i don’t remember how this thread started anymore and we wouldn’t be here!
Regardless i still have some issue with the definition as stated, because it has no (at least none that i can find) stipulations for anything regarding an actual war, because it turns out, most wars would arguably be defined as genocide under that definition. The USSR against Afhgan war? Genocide. WW1? Genocide. Numerous genocides infact! Japanese sino war? Also probably genocide! Japanese russo war? Also probably genocide! The mexican american war? Also, still probably genocide.
anyway, enough contextual meandering, that’s not the point, i’m just making a point here.
Yeah, because you’re **PURPOSEFULLY IGNORING ALL THE INTERNATIONAL LAW EXPERTS AND GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATIONS LOUDLY CRYING GENOCIDE, GENOCIDE GENOCIDE."
little fun fact for you, human rights orgs are primarily opposed to this, because it’s a fucking war. Nobody likes war. Also just because someone is an expert doesn’t mean you should listen to them, and or fully believe them. here’s a little tidbit of information for you. Most of these experts particularly the law experts, are probably rather infamiliar with local cultural customs and differences between the east and the west, which is almost certainly an influencing factor for this war. A lot of them are likely getting lots of air time. (which also means money) and the media loves money! We know this.
Also, they’re loudly crying genocide. Nobody wants to fucking listen to anybody doing that. It’s literally the boy who cried wolf. If it’s actually a genocide, the currently ongoing court case slated to determine this question, will fucking tell us. As for now, how do we talk about this? Simple, don’t call it a genocide, because we don’t fucking know. You wanna talk about war crimes? That’s great, i’ll listen, there’s something actually tangible there. You wanna talk about human rights? That’s another big thing, that’s a tangible thing.
Stating that this is genocide is like me stating that the world is going to end october 22 2042. It doesn’t matter to you whether i’m factually right about it, maybe i’m fucking god for all you know. There’s nothing of tangible substance there. You can’t do anything with that. Therefore, you don’t care.
Here’s the Israeli Defence Minister directly announcing that they are fighting “HUMAN ANIMALS”. (Perhaps google the word “dehumanisation”.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbPdR3E4hCk (edit forgot to add this link)
hey look, a good argument against israel, sure is weird how when you bring up tangible things, stuff starts to become a lot more reasonable doesn’t it?
You’re like a Flat Earther insisting he’s using objective science. You’re like a scientologists, denouncing psychiatry. You’re like a transphobe screaming “there are only two genders.” ALL the fucking experts disagree with you, but you’re not man enough to admit when you’re wrong, or even man enough to understand you should stop shaming yourself online.
i could say the exact same thing to you, and it would be equally as valid. This is a bad argument. I won’t entertain it.
“NO WAY OF KNOWING :///////”"
you link things that do not claim there is an active genocide (in the headline at least) and the one that does, is lying.
Ah, there’s nothing I can do to fix a sick puppy like you
i appreciate that you picked up the furry lore. :)
You will never admit Israel is raping and pillaging Palestinians
they might be, idk, russia might have been doing the same thing in ukraine, wars fucked bro. You see that video from wagner of the POW being sledehammered?
oops, character limit, comment in reply to this one coming up soon!
Again, your lack of education on the subject is quite entertaining. No, it isn’t war. Is the nation of Palestine at war with the nation of Israel? No. Israel claims to be at war with a vaguely defined terrorist organisation. There’s quite a lot of literature about the war on “terror” and how it enables authoritarian military action. Of course you haven’t read any of that.
War has a definition.
War is a phenomenon of organized collective violence that affects either the relations between two or more societies or the power relations within a society. War is governed by the law of armed conflict, also called “international humanitarian law.”
Hmm… and what does that “international humanitarian law” say about this conflict? Should we ask the experts, perhaps? Unless you think you’re so much more knowledgeable in international law than literally every single expert on international law?
The Prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister
of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Minister of Defense, on the basis that they
committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of
warfare’ under article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the ICC Statute. The Prosecutor also seeks to
charge the two suspects with various other war crimes and crimes against humanity
associated with the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare under articles
7 and 8 of the ICC Statute. These include the war crimes of ‘[w]ilfully causing great
suffering, or serious injury to body or health’ or cruel treatment, wilful killing or
murder, and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population. The
proposed charges also include the crimes against humanity of murder, extermination,
other inhumane acts and persecution with respect to deaths and injuries resulting from
or associated with the systematic deprivation of objects indispensable to the survival of
Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The Panel notes the Prosecutor’s statement that other
alleged crimes, including in connection with the large-scale bombing campaign in
Gaza, are actively being investigated.
“No my gf lives in Canada you wouldn’t know her, but she’s definitely real”
“The information you gave from the United Nations, the UN Human Right Office, they mean absolutely nothing, or they straight up lie.”
And you say you could equally well say to me that my facts don’t make sense? Mmm-hhmm, yeah. I keep showing actual sources from the United Nations and other reputable institutions and experts on international law. You keep having a tantrum and kicking your feet, screaming “fake news fake news.” You might delude yourself into thinking we’re both on the same footing in the debate, but you are the only one who’s even slightly buying that.
Keep sealioning, kiddo, it’s not gonna make your delusions real. You still refuse to answer very simple yes or no questions: is Israel committing warcrimes? Is there a genocide being committed? You pretend to answer, but you only equivocate. And your equivocation isn’t even on the level of Trump, and that man is demented as fuck.
Again, your lack of education on the subject is quite entertaining. No, it isn’t war. Is the nation of Palestine at war with the nation of Israel? No. Israel claims to be at war with a vaguely defined terrorist organisation. There’s quite a lot of literature about the war on “terror” and how it enables authoritarian military action. Of course you haven’t read any of that.
ah curious, let’s see. For full transparency, since i’m better at quoting from you, here is an excerpt from the original 1988 hamas charter
"Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse directed against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. For the sake of hoisting the banner of Allah over their homeland they fight. “Allah will be prominent, but most people do not know.”
Now and then the call goes out for the convening of an international conference to look for ways of solving the (Palestinian) question. Some accept, others reject the idea, for this or other reason, with one stipulation or more for consent to convening the conference and participating in it. Knowing the parties constituting the conference, their past and present attitudes towards Moslem problems, the Islamic Resistance Movement does not consider these conferences capable of realising the demands, restoring the rights or doing justice to the oppressed. These conferences are only ways of setting the infidels in the land of the Moslems as arbitraters. When did the infidels do justice to the believers?
"But the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians, until thou follow their religion; say, The direction of Allah is the true direction. And verily if thou follow their desires, after the knowledge which hath been given thee, thou shalt find no patron or protector against Allah." (The Cow - verse 120).
There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with. As in said in the honourable Hadith:
"The people of Syria are Allah's lash in His land. He wreaks His vengeance through them against whomsoever He wishes among His slaves It is unthinkable that those who are double-faced among them should prosper over the faithful. They will certainly die out of grief and desperation."" https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp and your ever so coveted link of course.
But i’m sure you’ll just say "well um akshually, this is old. So let’s have a look at the “new charter” as referred to by hamas themselves.
“Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate.”
just a little tidbit on palestine being arab, get fucked even hamas says so.
"Palestine is the cause of a people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure their rights and restore to them what has been usurped from them, a people whose land continues to suffer one of the worst types of occupation in this world.
Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-human and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise (the Balfour Declaration), no recognition of a usurping entity and on imposing a fait accompli by force.
Palestine symbolizes the resistance that shall continue until liberation is accomplished, until the return is fulfilled and until a fully sovereign state is established with Jerusalem as its capital."
oh boy this sounds familiar.
" Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras Al-Naqurah in the north to Umm Al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity.
Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land that has a special place in the heart of every Arab and every Muslim."
hmmm.
“The Palestinian people are one people, made up of all Palestinians, inside and outside of Palestine, irrespective of their religion, culture or political affiliation.”
Don’t mind them casually dismissing your conception of ethnicity in this case.
“Hamas also believes that Palestine has always been and will always be a model of coexistence, tolerance and civilizational innovation.”
they do also throw this one in there, to be fair.
Oh ADHD though time, did i mention the israeli settlements in westbank/gaza (however that works) because if not, why the fuck are they there? Yet another anti-israeli point for you to wrap your head around.
“The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.”
wonder how they’re going to go about the dissolution of israel…
“Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws and by international norms and laws. At the heart of these lies armed resistance, which is regarded as the strategic choice for protecting the principles and the rights of the Palestinian people.”
“how is this war?”
yeah idk man, they literally state by all means. I would presume war is included in that.
“Hamas rejects any attempt to undermine the resistance and its arms. It also affirms the right of our people to develop the means and mechanisms of resistance. Managing resistance, in terms of escalation or de-escalation, or in terms of diversifying the means and methods, is an integral part of the process of managing the conflict and should not be at the expense of the principle of resistance.”
oops more war speak.
“From a legal and humanitarian perspective, the liberation of Palestine is a legitimate activity, it is an act of self-defence, and it is the expression of the natural right of all peoples to self-determination.”
ah curious, self defense, surely this could not be construed to mean war could it?
accidentally posted, oopsiess, anyway.
Unless you think you’re so much more knowledgeable in international law than literally every single expert on international law?
man you really keep reaching, please show me somewhere i’ve explicitly stated that.
Since you seem to be partial to Wikipedia (probably because of it’s simplicity):
there’s a few reasons, it’s generally pretty accurate on the general public opinion of conflicts, and often has lots of high density information on the given topic, and unlike most of the internet, isn’t a complete clusterfuck that is hell to navigate.
It’s also generally universally accepted to be “moderately reliable” which is highly useful.
oh look at that, it lists it as a conflict, which is basically one step under a war.
“No my gf lives in Canada you wouldn’t know her, but she’s definitely real”
my brother in christ, scroll up you lazy motherfucker and see what i wrote, i haven’t edited that shit because i’m not a bitch ass motherfucker. And then yell at me on my contradictions or whatever the fuck you want to yell at me about. You love reading don’t you? I thought you enjoyed this?
And you say you could equally well say to me that my facts don’t make sense? Mmm-hhmm, yeah. I keep showing actual sources from the United Nations and other reputable institutions and experts on international law.
cool story but like, it’s irrelevant, try posting something actually relevant next time and maybe it’ll matter lmao.
“fake news fake news.”
i have not but ok.
You might delude yourself into thinking we’re both on the same footing in the debate, but you are the only one who’s even slightly buying that.
and curiously, you keep yelling at me. It’s almost as if you are not actually any better than me (because otherwise you would speaking with world leaders about this or something) or perhaps a scholar on the topic and busy studying, or you would just post an actually informative comment and leave it at that, because nothing more need be said, but nope, 12 comment chain instead.
You still refuse to answer very simple yes or no questions: is Israel committing warcrimes?
Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.
Is there a genocide being committed?
again, i don’t know, and seeing as there is currently a court case on it, i will wait for that verdict. My opinion simply is not as valuable as the world of legal scholars and experts, but curiously, you seem to think your opinion is somehow more objectively right than those, even though they haven’t yet deliberated on it.
For the record, I love reading. It’s just that you’re not producing text. You’re producing gibberish you think is convincing rhetoric. It’s sort of like watching a five-year old play kitchen. You have absolutely no idea of the words you use and your rhetoric is elementary.
i enjoy reading also, it’s often just technical material or something sociological in nature. I should say the same thing about you, you’ve done nothing but reiterate the same points for the first five or however many comments you made, i simply responded in kind, you’ll notice i responded to actually engaging questions in this one!
my brother in christ you do nothing more than post links to shit other people have said and reiterate what they say while being mad, you are literally the equivalent of a piece of silicon processing USB signals.
You ignore the evidence
brother, the evidence you are posting is people going “yeah we think this might be genocide, and we would like for it not happen please” Like i’m sorry but if this were documentation about a nuclear reactor i’d be reading a hand manual for a fucking blender right now.
You ignore the fact that ICJ and ICC courts take a significant amount of time.
yeah, it’s a court, of course they do, why do you think i’m waiting until the finalize their statement on this situation? Lmao.
If you were right now being held for trial for allegedly having raped 800 children and there were hundreds of hours of filmed evidence of you doing it, do you think it’d mean you’re innocent because you’ve not yet got a guilty verdict?
hmm let’s see, and if i were david mcbride, rotting in australia prison right now, for “committing warcrimes” when i merely exposed actual war crimes, and how they were covered up, by charging people who DIDN’T COMMIT THOSE WARCRIMES. How would i feel about the situation? Idk probably devasted, but like, i think this is probably the least of our concerns. Julian assange was only recently freed, and he didn’t even do shit.
Also, legally speaking, it’s undecided until the verdict, unless pleas deal technically, but the same standard applies so whatever.
The phrase “innocent until proven guilty” is more about how we should treat people going through the court, you know, salem witch trial type shit.
You’re despicable. And it shows from you getting so utterly pissed when I sussed out so easily that you’re probably part of this group and of Jewish American descent, went to your birthright (because you couldn’t afford a holiday anytime else) and got brainwashed so bad that now you’re getting literally cross-brained trying to not to admit what the scum of Israel are doing.
damn, you really hung yourself out to dry on this one huh. Unfortunately i just so happened to respond with actual responses this time. RIP.
Why do you ignore all the evidence?
the shit you’re posting is bad homie. It’s not good evidence. It’s the metaphorical equivalent of me scrawling on a napkin that there is 12 million dollars in cash in a forest somewhere in ohio, at these coordinates, and then handing it to you.
I read all your childish garbage utterings. None of them have a lick of an argument behind them. It’s like piss-poor rhetoric from a malnourished Soviet official who started vodka on an empty stomach; zero literacy and stumbling all over in a panic because they know they’re in trouble.
“Fake news fake news, everything is an opinion, facts don’t exist! Israel is just defending itself! Genocide doesn’t exist! Palestinians are animals, you can’t genocide animals!”
Genocide hasn’t been determined, as again, ICC procedures take time. Why are you ignoring this? Why are you claiming there is no evidence, when there is enough evidence for the ICC to find “reasonable grounds” for prosecuting and seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant? https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/240520-panel-report-eng.pdf
The Prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister
of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Minister of Defense, on the basis that they
committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of
warfare’ under article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the ICC Statute. The Prosecutor also seeks to
charge the two suspects with various other war crimes and crimes against humanity

7 and 8 of the ICC Statute. These include the war crimes of ‘[w]ilfully causing great
suffering, or serious injury to body or health’ or cruel treatment, wilful killing or
murder, and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population. The
proposed charges also include the crimes against humanity of murder, extermination,
other inhumane acts and persecution with respect to deaths and injuries resulting from
or associated with the systematic deprivation of objects indispensable to the survival of
Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The Panel notes the Prosecutor’s statement that other
alleged crimes, including in connection with the large-scale bombing campaign in
Gaza, are actively being investigated.
The Prosecutor seeks to charge Netanyahu and Gallant on the basis that they made an
essential contribution to a common plan to use starvation and other acts of violence
against the Gazan civilian population as a means to eliminate Hamas and secure the
return of hostages as well as to inflict collective punishment on the civilian population
of Gaza who they perceived as a threat to Israel. It is also alleged that they had effective
authority and control over their subordinates and knew of their subordinates’ crimes but
did not take necessary action to prevent or repress these crimes, leading to their criminal
responsibility as superiors.
The war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare’
requires ‘depriving [civilians] of objects indispensable to their survival, including
wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions’. The
crime is not limited solely to the deprivation of food, but includes other objects
indispensable for the survival of civilians such as water, fuel and medicine.
The Panel notes three preliminary points relevant to its analysis. First, as a result of a
number of factors, including the imposition by Israel of restrictions on the movement
of people and goods from and to Gaza in the aftermath of its 2005 disengagement,
Gazans were highly dependent on Israel for the provision of and access to objects
indispensable for the survival of the population even before 7 October.7
Second, although Israeli officials have a right to ensure that aid is not diverted to the
benefit of the enemy and to stipulate lawful technical arrangements for its transfer, they
cannot impose arbitrary restrictions – such as restrictions that violate Israel’s
obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and 7
international human rights law, or that contravene the principles of necessity and
proportionality – when exercising these rights.
Third, parties to an armed conflict must not deliberately impede the delivery of
humanitarian relief for civilians, including humanitarian relief provided by third parties.
And when a territory is under the belligerent occupation of one party to the conflict,
there is also an enhanced active obligation for the occupying power to ensure adequate
humanitarian aid for civilians, including by providing such aid itself insofar as this is
necessary.8 In the Panel’s view, while it can reasonably be argued that Israel was the
occupying power in Gaza even before 7 October 2023, Israel certainly became the
occupying power in all of or at least in substantial parts of Gaza after its ground
operations in the territory began.9
With this in mind, and based on a review of material presented by the Prosecutor, the
Panel assesses that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant
formed a common plan, together with others, to jointly perpetrate the crime of using
starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. The Panel has concluded that the acts
through which this war crime was committed include a siege on the Gaza Strip and the
closure of border crossings; arbitrary restrictions on entry and distribution of essential
supplies; cutting off supplies of electricity and water, and severely restricting food,
medicine and fuel supplies. This deprivation of objects indispensable to civilians’
survival took place in the context of attacks on facilities that produce food and clean
water, attacks against civilians attempting to obtain relief supplies and attacks directed
against humanitarian workers and convoys delivering relief supplies, despite the
deconfliction and coordination by humanitarian agencies with Israel Defence Forces.
These acts took place with full knowledge of the extent of Gazans’ reliance on Israel
for essential supplies, and the adverse and inevitable consequences of such acts in terms
of human suffering and deaths for the civilian population.
The Prosecutor has also sought charges against Netanyahu and Gallant for the war
crimes of wilful killing or murder and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian
population, as well as the crimes against humanity of extermination or murder and
persecution for deaths resulting from the use of starvation and related acts of violence
including attacks on civilians gathering to obtain food and on humanitarian workers.
In the Panel’s view, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects committed
these crimes. The Panel also considers that there are reasonable grounds to believe that
the crimes were committed in the context of a widespread and systematic attack against
the civilian population of Gaza, pursuant to State policy.
The Panel’s assessment is that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu
and Gallant are responsible for the killing of civilians who died as a result of starvation,
either because the suspects meant these deaths to happen or because they were aware
that deaths would occur in the ordinary course of events as a result of their methods of
warfare. According to material submitted by the Prosecutor, a large number of
Palestinian civilians have already died in these circumstances. In relation to
extermination, the number of deaths resulting from starvation is sufficient on its own to support the charge, according to standards set out in international jurisprudence.10 And this number is, unfortunately, only likely to rise. There are also reasonable grounds to
believe that the starvation campaign and associated acts of violence involved the severe
deprivation of victims’ fundamental rights by reason of their identity as Palestinians.
This can be qualified as the crime against humanity of persecution.
The Prosecutor has also sought to charge Netanyahu and Gallant with the crime against
humanity of other inhumane acts and the war crime of wilfully causing great suffering,
or serious injury to body or health, or cruel treatment, with respect to the non-lethal
suffering inflicted through starvation of the civilian population of Gaza. The Panel
assesses that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects committed these
crimes against many thousands of individuals in Gaza.
Based on the material it has reviewed, the Panel assesses that there are reasonable
grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant made essential contributions to the
common plan to use starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and commit other
acts of violence against the civilian population. This is evidenced by their own
statements and the statements of other Israeli officials. It is also evidenced by the
systematic nature of the crime, and the involvement of the suspects at the apex of the
Israeli governmental apparatus, with effective authority and control over their
subordinates and leadership positions in the War Cabinet and Security Cabinet, in
which all key decisions on the conduct of the war – including blocking and limiting
humanitarian aid – have been made. The Panel is also of the view that there are
reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects can be held responsible as superiors
given their knowledge of the crimes and the fact that they took no steps to prevent or
repress their subordinates who committed them.
But no, there’s “no evidence”, right? You’re not just being a willfully ignorant brainwashed git who’s ignoring all the literal evidence and having a tantrum, right? But you won’t even read those chapters, and even if you did, your programming won’t allow you to accept them. It’s despicable. Get a fucking grip on your own head.
“Fake news fake news, everything is an opinion, facts don’t exist! Israel is just defending itself! Genocide doesn’t exist! Palestinians are animals, you can’t genocide animals!”
cool quote, where’d you get it from?
How did you enjoy your birthright year?
no clue what this is supposed to mean, but i assume it’s jewish, and in which case, it would probably be offensive in this context, but i’m not jewish so it isn’t my place to decide (oops there goes my logic making sense again)
Genocide hasn’t been determined, as again, ICC procedures take time. Why are you ignoring this?
Yeah, this is exactly what i said, you’re literally paraphrasing the exact thing i said, and then asking me why i’m ignoring it, when i’ve literally stated it at least three times. Yes court takes time, that’s why i fucking trust it to be accurate. There is little to no benefit in the court ruling incorrectly, so when they inevitably rule one way or they other, it’ll be final, and if not, then it will be overturned legally, of course. This is the wonderful thing about the court system, it’s fully self regulated and has procedures for everything
Why are you claiming there is no evidence, when there is enough evidence for the ICC to find “reasonable grounds” for prosecuting and seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant?
oh boy what a blatant mischaracterization you’ve got here, you really seem to be losing your grips on this conversation now huh? First of all. I personally do not have enough information (not evidence) on whether or not there is an past, present, or future tense genocide happening in palestine at this very time. Unfortunately i don’t exactly have copious amounts of time to dedicated to reading up on legal paperwork and various different court rulings as well as going to palestine, or at the very least, interacting with people from either side to see what’s actually going on around the area.
And as a result, i am doing the very responsible thing of staying nuanced and undecided. It’s a rather remarkable thing really, not being politically charged in any given direction, makes for quite a peaceful life, it’s nice, you should try it.
also, evidence is a bit of a stretch, we’re talking about genocide here, you either kill hundreds of thousands of people, or you don’t. It’s more accurately “suspected grounds for genocide” unless of course the evidence you’re referring to here is the active warzone. But that wouldn’t make your case sound as strong otherwise would it? Perhaps the ruling courts are using the term evidence? I have no idea. That’s possible.
on the basis that they committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare’
ah curious, a charge that isn’t genocide! In fact, not a single block of text you ripped includes the word genocide, fascinating.
But no, there’s “no evidence”, right?
Are you familiar with the USSRs history? Their own people starved, very frequently, they were put through literal labor camps, even to this day, russia still uses labor camps for punishment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_labor_colony
Yet they haven’t been charged with genocide once to my knowledge, though originally, the USSR included a draft on the genocide clause that stated it would not apply to your own people. So there is that, but i’m guessing that was removed at some point.
You’re not just being a willfully ignorant brainwashed git who’s ignoring all the literal evidence and having a tantrum, right?
Ah yes, i’m the one having a tantrum here.
But you won’t even read those chapters, and even if you did, your programming won’t allow you to accept them. It’s despicable. Get a fucking grip on your own head.
bro the first four chapters are about starvation and intentional withholding of supplies and food. It’s literally referred to as starvation, not genocide.
There you go again, pretending that either you’ve never heard of what either “implication” or “birthright” mean and that you’re literally too stupid to write a single word into Google… OR you keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing all along; arguing in bad faith.
Just like you genocide defending lunatics always do.
Keep hammering out pages of junior high level non-sequiturs, it’s not gonna change the situation.
You deny a genocide happening. The world doesn’t.
Keep pushing that propaganda, I’ll keep replying here, as I enjoy forums and laughing at proudly ignorant American girls like you.
“It’s literally referred to as starvation, not homicide”
I come over and strangle you to death. The cause of death is strangulation. The coroner writes that in the autopsy report. Due to this evidence, I get arrested and put on trial. Yet later, after a trial I get convicted for homicide? "There goes my logic, making sense again." ;)
There you go again, pretending that either you’ve never heard of what either “implication” or “birthright”
what do you mean by implication? I meant birthright specifically.
and that you’re literally too stupid to write a single word into Google…
i did, and curiously it spat some shit out about israel, which would be why i assumed it’s jewish. Shockingly, i’m not israeli, nor jewish, so idk what the fuck it is. But please, indulge me and expand upon it. I’m always willing to learn. Unlike some people.
arguing in bad faith.
bro i asked a question, it’s not that deep, calm down.
Just like you genocide defending lunatics always do.
again with the adhom and saying shit that’s demonstrably false. Very cool.
Keep hammering out pages of junior high level non-sequiturs, it’s not gonna change the situation.
and maybe i will, because i’m actually just an AI. Perhaps i’m not. Who knows!
You deny a genocide happening. The world doesn’t.
not a single part of this statement is true. The world might suspect a genocide is happening though. Me personally? It could go either way.
Keep pushing that propaganda, I’ll keep replying here, as I enjoy forums and laughing at proudly ignorant American girls like you.
oh cool, i’m female now. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that most israeli supporters in the US are middle aged white men who are republican? Probably not. I’ll give you this one for your future adhoms.
I come over and strangle you to death. The cause of death is strangulation. The coroner writes that in the autopsy report. Due to this evidence, I get arrested and put on trial. Yet later, after a trial I get convicted for homicide? “There goes my logic, making sense again.” ;)
ah sick, roleplaying i enjoy this.
Let’s do one. You’re my kid, i’m your parent, i don’t feed you because you keeping bombing israel and israel is angry (or something) and israel in return takes away your food (i guess i’m israel in this context) That would also make you palestine though. Naturally, you become malnourished, and eventually the authorities take you away from me, for child neglect, assuming that it doesn’t just stop at this point (that does happen here) and that i get hit with a legal case, it would almost certainly be under the pretense of “child neglect” not “homicide” because, curiously, i didn’t kill you.
Again similar thing happening in ukraine right now. They have little to no food production, which is most of their exports, but that’s irrelevant. Curiously russia isn’t committing genocide by blowing up grain silos in ukraine. It’s funny how that works.
You keep arguing in bad faith, as everyone knows that if you actually wanted to know what “birthright” meant, as if you didn’t already, it’d take you 10 seconds to check it on Google. So asking that is you asking in bad faith. I’m explaining this because I genuinely think you don’t understand it, the proudly ignorant American that you are.
Once again, equivocation on the level that I mostly remember encountering on recess 20 years ago. You said “it says starvation, not genocide”. That’s you pretending that once can’t commit by, among other methods, intentional starvation.
##The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip, which is a war crime.
You can’t admit to a single piece of evidence of the MOUNTAIN of evidence of war crimes there is against Israel, but you’ll keep pretending you aren’t on their side, but being “nuanced”. No you’re not. You’re scared, willfully ignorant and on the wrong side of history.
That’s why I keep linking things like these and the only thing you can do is pitiful whinging about “both sides”.
People like you disgust me, but as I don’t want to be as shit of a person as you, I actually reply in good faith. People like you just tie yourself in knots.

Yeah, i googled it. I still don’t understand what the fuck you meant by the implication of using it though. Which is why i think it’s related to israel or judaism. But i don’t know anything about those two things, so i’m not sure i would be able to recognize what you meant by it, unless you meant my birthright to post shitpost comments on the internet or something? I fail to see how this is relevant though. So i’m assuming it’s some sort of dig at religion that is failing incredibly hard here because i legitimately have no idea what you mean. And you are gaslighting yourself into believing otherwise.
Once again, equivocation on the level that I mostly remember encountering on recess 20 years ago. You said “it says starvation, not genocide”. That’s you pretending that once can’t commit by, among other methods, intentional starvation.
i already covered this, go read what i actually said. This simply isn’t congruent with history, nor does it make any sense in the context providing, because genocide is almost always an explicit violence act against another group of people for no reason other than their ethnicity. Defining it as anything else would include Mao’s famines, and north koreas famines. But weirdly, you don’t seem to be continually puking yourself over the thought of hundreds of thousands of north korean farmers who are currently starving. It’s almost as if you either, only care about the Palestinians, or simply do not actually believe what you are saying, and are simply doing some classic, political posturing here.
Again, because you seem to be incapable of reading, russia is LITERALLY doing the same thing to ukraine. But again, doesn’t seem to matter to you, because apparently ukrainians are less worthy to life than Palestinians according to your complete lack of care about them starving.
You can’t admit to a single piece of evidence of the MOUNTAIN of evidence of war crimes there is against Israel
war crimes against israel? October 7th was considered to be one, but obviously, you misspoke here. And you meant the war crimes that israel is committing, that are being levied against israel. To which, i have agreed too. And you have subsequently, ignored, either because you aren’t reading what i’m posting, even though i’m clearly reading what you post. Or because it simply disentangles your entire narrative here of you being “correct” and it makes you look bad, so in turn you have to save face by pretending they don’t exist.
Or are you just going to pull the “i couldn’t remember” card? Even though it was literally 30 minutes to an hour ago that i said this, and that you read it, in fact, why don’t i go pull it up? “Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.”
oh wow, look at that, you literally lied.
You’re scared, willfully ignorant and on the wrong side of history.
i’m on the wrong side of history? Homie, there is no wrong side of history, merely the side that gets written down and archived at some point. Whether this comes to bite in the back later is a different story. The chances of that happening are incredibly small though.
Also i find it rather cute that you keep calling me willfully ignorant, even though i keep explaining to you, that i am quite literally basically ignorant on the topic, because well. I don’t have the fucking time.
pitiful whinging about “both sides”.
oh, you’re the “both sides” type of person, nobody is worse than these type of people. Because they sit in a superiority complex of their own, completely abusing a rather useful concept.
Since you don’t seem to understand how it works, i’ll explain it to you (properly( bothsidesing is a technique commonly used to compare to different groups, in this case opposing parties. Via isolating one side, documenting it’s behaviorisms, and rhetoric. And the repeating the same for the other side, in a similarly isolated manner. And finally, once complete, you can compare them between the two, and what would be expected (in this situation) is a significant overlap in a lot of rhetoric, and a handful of valid underlying causes to the problem. The rhetoric is obviously going to be self determinant. It should be very clear where it is. The underlying structures are going to be hidden within rhetoric most of the time, though apparent.
The problem with most “both sides” ““both sides”” type of people is that they complete forego the entire process of this, and instead do surface level equivocations of two often entirely irrelevant scenarios. Even though this is literally a fundamental fallacy of conceptualization. It’d be like if i said that global warming doesn’t exist because seasons still happen. But of course, you’ve never done this right?
i would also like to point out, that you’re expecting to link the same resources over and over again, while expecting me to do something about it instead. Debate is a two way street my friend, you have done nothing but fence sitting here.
oh and by the way, i find it curious that you accuse me of sealioning, even though you’re literally the one DEMANDING an answer from me, lmao. Go read your definitions better so you can use fallacies properly.
People like you disgust me, but as I don’t want to be as shit of a person as you, I actually reply in good faith. People like you just tie yourself in knots.
my guy, you have done nothing but reiterate the same exact statement you made originally. If anybody here is in bad faith, it’s you because you refuse to interact with any of the premises i propose.
Interesting that you seem to use the “people like you” phrasing. Surely that could never imply anything bad. Surely you don’t have a trained predispoition against people who disagree with you. Do you?
But, since you seem to like fallacy so much, i will indulge you. Notably, you keep using an “appeal to the stone” fallacy. Or more clinically referred to as “proof by assertion” You’re also entertaining an “invincible ignorance fallacy” You will probably engage in “argument of repetition” later on, when in the shower, yelling at me. Also an “argument from silence” fallacy in there. And since you seem to like language so much 'ignoratio elenchi" fallacy as well.
Curious how all of these are “relevance fallacies” isn’t it. Fun fact, a common trap with fallacy is just misapplying them wherever you see fit. Whether that is the case here, or whether your line of behaviorisms uniquely lines you up for this specific type of fallacy, is not up to me, as i don’t like to meander into these kinds of things. It’s rather boring and difficult. It’s more interesting running into the underlying concepts.
And how exactly did you get “I hate reading” from “I hate genocidal fucks like you”?
Weirdly you keep avoiding actually mentioning any, just going on with vague “both sides” bullshit and “not enough evidence” patheticism.
Since it clearly missed you; DO YOU THINK THERE’S A GENOCIDE GOING ON IN GAZA?
Do you think Israelis are at an equal risk of being the victims of genocide as Palestinians are?
ANSWER CLEARLY; since I’m clearly incapable of perceiving anything other. (Or you just equivocate because you know what is the right side of history but you don’t actually want to go against your brainwashing of DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL DO NOT CRITICISE ISRAEL.)
You didn’t read it, got it. You skimmed and concluded “there’s no sentence” and thought that’s it. That’s exactly my point about the way you “argue.”
Yes, I knew you wouldn’t, because you don’t have the spine to stand behind this garbage with your own name, face or even voice. Probably because it’s high and crackling. You can’t put your money where your mouth is, because you don’t believe or even understand what you’re pushing.
No, it isn’t, unless you’re pushing Israeli propaganda.
Again. Literally the vast fucking majority of the world agree it’s a genocide.

Because as soon as it goes through, it’s much simpler to show that the legal definition of a genocide (which you tried looking up on fucking wikipedia :DDD, here have an actual document lol.

Ah, there’s nothing I can do to fix a sick puppy like you, so I don’t know why I’m wasting my time on a propaganda-troll. You will never admit Israel is raping and pillaging Palestinians, and it’s disgusting and it should make you really, really fucking concerned about your own psyche that you have this sickly desire to acquiesce to shit you know isn’t real.
But I guess those UN offices are just “anti-semites looking to genocide Israel”, huh?
For the record, I love reading. It’s just that you’re not producing text. You’re producing gibberish you think is convincing rhetoric. It’s sort of like watching a five-year old play kitchen. You have absolutely no idea of the words you use and your rhetoric is elementary.
You ignore the evidence , then you equivocate and move the goalposts.
You ignore the fact that ICJ and ICC courts take a significant amount of time. If you were right now being held for trial for allegedly having raped 800 children and there were hundreds of hours of filmed evidence of you doing it, do you think it’d mean you’re innocent because you’ve not yet got a guilty verdict?
You’re despicable. And it shows from you getting so utterly pissed when I sussed out so easily that you’re probably part of this group and of Jewish American descent, went to your birthright (because you couldn’t afford a holiday anytime else) and got brainwashed so bad that now you’re getting literally cross-brained trying to not to admit what the scum of Israel are doing.
Why do you ignore all the evidence?
I read all your childish garbage utterings. None of them have a lick of an argument behind them. It’s like piss-poor rhetoric from a malnourished Soviet official who started vodka on an empty stomach; zero literacy and stumbling all over in a panic because they know they’re in trouble.
i’m mocking you for saying the same thing repeatedly, it’s fucking cringe bro. We get it, you cannot stomach the thought that sometimes people disagree with you.
ironically, i do answer it, you just keep ignoring it, for some reason, i’ve given a very clear answer.
oh good, a good question, i actually really like this question.
To answer your question, if we’re talking from a military power standpoint, israelis have a significantly less risk of “being genocided” as opposed to “palestinians” though this is within the context of this war specifically. The reason why is because israel is a massive military state, (they own f35s btw, they’re basically a US proxy with how much military power they have) Palestine on the other hand, gets weapon shipments from iran, as per usual. I believe there are also a few other imports they have, but they’re the usual primary suspects, from my understanding though it’s primarily iran using it as an excuse to proxy war.
Looking at a state size and population metric, it’s hard to argue against the claim as well, there are simply more people in israel.
If we’re arguing outside the context of the war, from the perspective of the middle east? I don’t know, depends on how well relations between israel, and the rest of the middle east are i suppose. Palestine would be basically the rest of the middle east, aside from the fact that it borders israel (again, we’re ignoring everything else, this is a purely geographic/demographic based analysis)
Wow! Look at that, when you ask good questions, it’s almost like it’s possible to receive good answers!
since you seem to think i cannot criticize israel at all, it is clearly impossible for me to do so. Even though i have said NOTHING about israel, i will now go on to criticize israel and their wartime efforts.
Let’s see, notably in the public eye, the civilian causalities have been rather high. But then again, russia has also lost 300,000 troops in combat, granted not civilian, they’re mostly conscripts and draft picks. (a significant portion of which have been ethnic minorities living in russia, so if we’re talking about genocide, arguably russia has been technically been doing a genocide, just very quietly) Perhaps that should make you sick to your stomach as well. Ukraine has also suffered losses, but they have also evacuated millions of people, to my knowledge. So most of which would’ve been people who didn’t evacuate (likely by choice) or soldiers.
The public eye is rather boring though, so let’s go a little bit deeper, israels control over gaza over the last period of however long it’s been going on for is rather concerning. There’s very little freedom living in gaza, but then again, hamas did decide to war against israel, so how much of that is really “israel bad” and how much of that is “hamas bad” is a question left up to interpretation i suppose. These kinds of thing when in war are so inconsequential it’s not even worth considering though.
Israel absolutely has all kinds of propaganda, i’m not versed on what is confirmed propaganda, but i’ve heard a lot of stuff is, and a lot of stuff isn’t though i’m almost certain that some of it is.
Public PR wise, netanyahu is terrible. Unless you’re jewish probably. He seems like a goofy guy, seems to be stuck in an awkward spot where most of his government isn’t supporting him, except for the far right, so he seems to be leaning on them in order to stay in power. The public in israel doesn’t seem to be happy with what he’s doing.
Long term, israel doesn’t seem to have a plan, they seem to either war constantly, or not. They don’t seem to have any sort of long term solution at all. Which is obviously, not helpful at all. They really seem content to just, keep warring. When they do stop warring, they seem to cause problems. Often times shit happens that really shouldn’t (arguably hamas is one)
nah i just don’t remember what i typed because it’s been like three fucking days and i’m not scrolling up to make a coherent point about some shit i’m clearly philosophically babbling about.
yes it is? It’s literally war? Go find ANY open source intelligence community working on military stuff, anywhere, and please tell me how confident they are in what they find, and what they predict. You’ll find that they aren’t confident at all, and in fact just propose ideas. It’s really quite boring, but i find it rather interesting.
again, i think this is a slight mischaracterization. This is a list of countries around the world who support south africas legal inquiry to whether or not this is considered to be genocide. Meaning that they would like for a just answer to the question at hand.
“The president expressed his support for South Africa’s initiative to call on the International Court of Justice to order Israel to immediately cease all acts and measures that may constitute genocide”
Hey look at that! it’s a quote directly from the segment you quote from on wikipedia! It says EXACTLY what i said it would probably say, isn’t that weird? It’s almost like i know some things.
woah, look at that, an actual legal definition, you could’ve just linked that in the first post, or comment, i don’t remember how this thread started anymore and we wouldn’t be here!
Regardless i still have some issue with the definition as stated, because it has no (at least none that i can find) stipulations for anything regarding an actual war, because it turns out, most wars would arguably be defined as genocide under that definition. The USSR against Afhgan war? Genocide. WW1? Genocide. Numerous genocides infact! Japanese sino war? Also probably genocide! Japanese russo war? Also probably genocide! The mexican american war? Also, still probably genocide.
anyway, enough contextual meandering, that’s not the point, i’m just making a point here.
little fun fact for you, human rights orgs are primarily opposed to this, because it’s a fucking war. Nobody likes war. Also just because someone is an expert doesn’t mean you should listen to them, and or fully believe them. here’s a little tidbit of information for you. Most of these experts particularly the law experts, are probably rather infamiliar with local cultural customs and differences between the east and the west, which is almost certainly an influencing factor for this war. A lot of them are likely getting lots of air time. (which also means money) and the media loves money! We know this.
Also, they’re loudly crying genocide. Nobody wants to fucking listen to anybody doing that. It’s literally the boy who cried wolf. If it’s actually a genocide, the currently ongoing court case slated to determine this question, will fucking tell us. As for now, how do we talk about this? Simple, don’t call it a genocide, because we don’t fucking know. You wanna talk about war crimes? That’s great, i’ll listen, there’s something actually tangible there. You wanna talk about human rights? That’s another big thing, that’s a tangible thing.
Stating that this is genocide is like me stating that the world is going to end october 22 2042. It doesn’t matter to you whether i’m factually right about it, maybe i’m fucking god for all you know. There’s nothing of tangible substance there. You can’t do anything with that. Therefore, you don’t care.
hey look, a good argument against israel, sure is weird how when you bring up tangible things, stuff starts to become a lot more reasonable doesn’t it?
i could say the exact same thing to you, and it would be equally as valid. This is a bad argument. I won’t entertain it.
you link things that do not claim there is an active genocide (in the headline at least) and the one that does, is lying.
i appreciate that you picked up the furry lore. :)
they might be, idk, russia might have been doing the same thing in ukraine, wars fucked bro. You see that video from wagner of the POW being sledehammered?
oops, character limit, comment in reply to this one coming up soon!
Again, your lack of education on the subject is quite entertaining. No, it isn’t war. Is the nation of Palestine at war with the nation of Israel? No. Israel claims to be at war with a vaguely defined terrorist organisation. There’s quite a lot of literature about the war on “terror” and how it enables authoritarian military action. Of course you haven’t read any of that.
War has a definition.
https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/war/
Hmm… and what does that “international humanitarian law” say about this conflict? Should we ask the experts, perhaps? Unless you think you’re so much more knowledgeable in international law than literally every single expert on international law?
Since you seem to be partial to Wikipedia (probably because of it’s simplicity): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_war_crimes
But also, from an actual source:
Report of the Panel of Experts in International Law
“No my gf lives in Canada you wouldn’t know her, but she’s definitely real”
“The information you gave from the United Nations, the UN Human Right Office, they mean absolutely nothing, or they straight up lie.”
And you say you could equally well say to me that my facts don’t make sense? Mmm-hhmm, yeah. I keep showing actual sources from the United Nations and other reputable institutions and experts on international law. You keep having a tantrum and kicking your feet, screaming “fake news fake news.” You might delude yourself into thinking we’re both on the same footing in the debate, but you are the only one who’s even slightly buying that.
Keep sealioning, kiddo, it’s not gonna make your delusions real. You still refuse to answer very simple yes or no questions: is Israel committing warcrimes? Is there a genocide being committed? You pretend to answer, but you only equivocate. And your equivocation isn’t even on the level of Trump, and that man is demented as fuck.
ah curious, let’s see. For full transparency, since i’m better at quoting from you, here is an excerpt from the original 1988 hamas charter
"Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse directed against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. For the sake of hoisting the banner of Allah over their homeland they fight. “Allah will be prominent, but most people do not know.”
Now and then the call goes out for the convening of an international conference to look for ways of solving the (Palestinian) question. Some accept, others reject the idea, for this or other reason, with one stipulation or more for consent to convening the conference and participating in it. Knowing the parties constituting the conference, their past and present attitudes towards Moslem problems, the Islamic Resistance Movement does not consider these conferences capable of realising the demands, restoring the rights or doing justice to the oppressed. These conferences are only ways of setting the infidels in the land of the Moslems as arbitraters. When did the infidels do justice to the believers?
There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with. As in said in the honourable Hadith:
But i’m sure you’ll just say "well um akshually, this is old. So let’s have a look at the “new charter” as referred to by hamas themselves.
link of course: https://israeled.org/resources/documents/hamas-a-document-of-general-principles-policies/ (ah but of course, this is an israeli source, how could i trust it? Well, jstor has a copy, but it’s fucking paywalled and im not paying for that shit)
“Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate.”
just a little tidbit on palestine being arab, get fucked even hamas says so.
"Palestine is the cause of a people who have been let down by a world that fails to secure their rights and restore to them what has been usurped from them, a people whose land continues to suffer one of the worst types of occupation in this world.
Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-human and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise (the Balfour Declaration), no recognition of a usurping entity and on imposing a fait accompli by force.
Palestine symbolizes the resistance that shall continue until liberation is accomplished, until the return is fulfilled and until a fully sovereign state is established with Jerusalem as its capital."
oh boy this sounds familiar.
" Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras Al-Naqurah in the north to Umm Al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity. Palestine is an Arab Islamic land. It is a blessed sacred land that has a special place in the heart of every Arab and every Muslim."
hmmm.
“The Palestinian people are one people, made up of all Palestinians, inside and outside of Palestine, irrespective of their religion, culture or political affiliation.”
Don’t mind them casually dismissing your conception of ethnicity in this case.
“Hamas also believes that Palestine has always been and will always be a model of coexistence, tolerance and civilizational innovation.”
they do also throw this one in there, to be fair.
Oh ADHD though time, did i mention the israeli settlements in westbank/gaza (however that works) because if not, why the fuck are they there? Yet another anti-israeli point for you to wrap your head around.
“The following are considered null and void: the Balfour Declaration, the British Mandate Document, the UN Palestine Partition Resolution, and whatever resolutions and measures that derive from them or are similar to them. The establishment of “Israel” is entirely illegal and contravenes the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and goes against their will and the will of the Ummah; it is also in violation of human rights that are guaranteed by international conventions, foremost among them is the right to self-determination.”
wonder how they’re going to go about the dissolution of israel…
“Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws and by international norms and laws. At the heart of these lies armed resistance, which is regarded as the strategic choice for protecting the principles and the rights of the Palestinian people.”
yeah idk man, they literally state by all means. I would presume war is included in that.
“Hamas rejects any attempt to undermine the resistance and its arms. It also affirms the right of our people to develop the means and mechanisms of resistance. Managing resistance, in terms of escalation or de-escalation, or in terms of diversifying the means and methods, is an integral part of the process of managing the conflict and should not be at the expense of the principle of resistance.”
oops more war speak.
“From a legal and humanitarian perspective, the liberation of Palestine is a legitimate activity, it is an act of self-defence, and it is the expression of the natural right of all peoples to self-determination.”
ah curious, self defense, surely this could not be construed to mean war could it?
accidentally posted, oopsiess, anyway.
man you really keep reaching, please show me somewhere i’ve explicitly stated that.
there’s a few reasons, it’s generally pretty accurate on the general public opinion of conflicts, and often has lots of high density information on the given topic, and unlike most of the internet, isn’t a complete clusterfuck that is hell to navigate.
It’s also generally universally accepted to be “moderately reliable” which is highly useful.
and since we’re linking wikipedia as a source here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli–Palestinian_conflict
oh look at that, it lists it as a conflict, which is basically one step under a war.
my brother in christ, scroll up you lazy motherfucker and see what i wrote, i haven’t edited that shit because i’m not a bitch ass motherfucker. And then yell at me on my contradictions or whatever the fuck you want to yell at me about. You love reading don’t you? I thought you enjoyed this?
cool story but like, it’s irrelevant, try posting something actually relevant next time and maybe it’ll matter lmao.
i have not but ok.
and curiously, you keep yelling at me. It’s almost as if you are not actually any better than me (because otherwise you would speaking with world leaders about this or something) or perhaps a scholar on the topic and busy studying, or you would just post an actually informative comment and leave it at that, because nothing more need be said, but nope, 12 comment chain instead.
Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.
again, i don’t know, and seeing as there is currently a court case on it, i will wait for that verdict. My opinion simply is not as valuable as the world of legal scholars and experts, but curiously, you seem to think your opinion is somehow more objectively right than those, even though they haven’t yet deliberated on it.
respond to my actual answers pussy.
continuation of last comment :)
i enjoy reading also, it’s often just technical material or something sociological in nature. I should say the same thing about you, you’ve done nothing but reiterate the same points for the first five or however many comments you made, i simply responded in kind, you’ll notice i responded to actually engaging questions in this one!
my brother in christ you do nothing more than post links to shit other people have said and reiterate what they say while being mad, you are literally the equivalent of a piece of silicon processing USB signals.
brother, the evidence you are posting is people going “yeah we think this might be genocide, and we would like for it not happen please” Like i’m sorry but if this were documentation about a nuclear reactor i’d be reading a hand manual for a fucking blender right now.
yeah, it’s a court, of course they do, why do you think i’m waiting until the finalize their statement on this situation? Lmao.
hmm let’s see, and if i were david mcbride, rotting in australia prison right now, for “committing warcrimes” when i merely exposed actual war crimes, and how they were covered up, by charging people who DIDN’T COMMIT THOSE WARCRIMES. How would i feel about the situation? Idk probably devasted, but like, i think this is probably the least of our concerns. Julian assange was only recently freed, and he didn’t even do shit.
Also, legally speaking, it’s undecided until the verdict, unless pleas deal technically, but the same standard applies so whatever.
The phrase “innocent until proven guilty” is more about how we should treat people going through the court, you know, salem witch trial type shit.
damn, you really hung yourself out to dry on this one huh. Unfortunately i just so happened to respond with actual responses this time. RIP.
the shit you’re posting is bad homie. It’s not good evidence. It’s the metaphorical equivalent of me scrawling on a napkin that there is 12 million dollars in cash in a forest somewhere in ohio, at these coordinates, and then handing it to you.
this ones clever, i like this one.
“Fake news fake news, everything is an opinion, facts don’t exist! Israel is just defending itself! Genocide doesn’t exist! Palestinians are animals, you can’t genocide animals!”
How did you enjoy your birthright year?

Genocide hasn’t been determined, as again, ICC procedures take time. Why are you ignoring this? Why are you claiming there is no evidence, when there is enough evidence for the ICC to find “reasonable grounds” for prosecuting and seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant? https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/240520-panel-report-eng.pdf
The Prosecutor seeks arrest warrants against Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Minister of Defense, on the basis that they committed the war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare’ under article 8(2)(b)(xxv) of the ICC Statute. The Prosecutor also seeks to charge the two suspects with various other war crimes and crimes against humanity associated with the use of starvation of civilians as a method of warfare under articles 7 and 8 of the ICC Statute. These include the war crimes of ‘[w]ilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health’ or cruel treatment, wilful killing or murder, and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population. The proposed charges also include the crimes against humanity of murder, extermination, other inhumane acts and persecution with respect to deaths and injuries resulting from or associated with the systematic deprivation of objects indispensable to the survival of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The Panel notes the Prosecutor’s statement that other alleged crimes, including in connection with the large-scale bombing campaign in Gaza, are actively being investigated.
The Prosecutor seeks to charge Netanyahu and Gallant on the basis that they made an essential contribution to a common plan to use starvation and other acts of violence against the Gazan civilian population as a means to eliminate Hamas and secure the return of hostages as well as to inflict collective punishment on the civilian population of Gaza who they perceived as a threat to Israel. It is also alleged that they had effective authority and control over their subordinates and knew of their subordinates’ crimes but did not take necessary action to prevent or repress these crimes, leading to their criminal responsibility as superiors.
The war crime of ‘intentionally using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare’ requires ‘depriving [civilians] of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions’. The crime is not limited solely to the deprivation of food, but includes other objects indispensable for the survival of civilians such as water, fuel and medicine.
The Panel notes three preliminary points relevant to its analysis. First, as a result of a number of factors, including the imposition by Israel of restrictions on the movement of people and goods from and to Gaza in the aftermath of its 2005 disengagement, Gazans were highly dependent on Israel for the provision of and access to objects indispensable for the survival of the population even before 7 October.7
Second, although Israeli officials have a right to ensure that aid is not diverted to the benefit of the enemy and to stipulate lawful technical arrangements for its transfer, they cannot impose arbitrary restrictions – such as restrictions that violate Israel’s obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and 7 international human rights law, or that contravene the principles of necessity and proportionality – when exercising these rights.
Third, parties to an armed conflict must not deliberately impede the delivery of humanitarian relief for civilians, including humanitarian relief provided by third parties. And when a territory is under the belligerent occupation of one party to the conflict, there is also an enhanced active obligation for the occupying power to ensure adequate humanitarian aid for civilians, including by providing such aid itself insofar as this is necessary.8 In the Panel’s view, while it can reasonably be argued that Israel was the occupying power in Gaza even before 7 October 2023, Israel certainly became the occupying power in all of or at least in substantial parts of Gaza after its ground operations in the territory began.9
With this in mind, and based on a review of material presented by the Prosecutor, the Panel assesses that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant formed a common plan, together with others, to jointly perpetrate the crime of using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare. The Panel has concluded that the acts through which this war crime was committed include a siege on the Gaza Strip and the closure of border crossings; arbitrary restrictions on entry and distribution of essential supplies; cutting off supplies of electricity and water, and severely restricting food, medicine and fuel supplies. This deprivation of objects indispensable to civilians’ survival took place in the context of attacks on facilities that produce food and clean water, attacks against civilians attempting to obtain relief supplies and attacks directed against humanitarian workers and convoys delivering relief supplies, despite the deconfliction and coordination by humanitarian agencies with Israel Defence Forces. These acts took place with full knowledge of the extent of Gazans’ reliance on Israel for essential supplies, and the adverse and inevitable consequences of such acts in terms of human suffering and deaths for the civilian population.
The Prosecutor has also sought charges against Netanyahu and Gallant for the war crimes of wilful killing or murder and intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population, as well as the crimes against humanity of extermination or murder and persecution for deaths resulting from the use of starvation and related acts of violence including attacks on civilians gathering to obtain food and on humanitarian workers.
In the Panel’s view, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects committed these crimes. The Panel also considers that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the crimes were committed in the context of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population of Gaza, pursuant to State policy.
The Panel’s assessment is that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for the killing of civilians who died as a result of starvation, either because the suspects meant these deaths to happen or because they were aware that deaths would occur in the ordinary course of events as a result of their methods of warfare. According to material submitted by the Prosecutor, a large number of Palestinian civilians have already died in these circumstances. In relation to extermination, the number of deaths resulting from starvation is sufficient on its own to support the charge, according to standards set out in international jurisprudence.10 And this number is, unfortunately, only likely to rise. There are also reasonable grounds to believe that the starvation campaign and associated acts of violence involved the severe deprivation of victims’ fundamental rights by reason of their identity as Palestinians. This can be qualified as the crime against humanity of persecution.
The Prosecutor has also sought to charge Netanyahu and Gallant with the crime against humanity of other inhumane acts and the war crime of wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health, or cruel treatment, with respect to the non-lethal suffering inflicted through starvation of the civilian population of Gaza. The Panel assesses that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects committed these crimes against many thousands of individuals in Gaza.
Based on the material it has reviewed, the Panel assesses that there are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant made essential contributions to the common plan to use starvation of civilians as a method of warfare and commit other acts of violence against the civilian population. This is evidenced by their own statements and the statements of other Israeli officials. It is also evidenced by the systematic nature of the crime, and the involvement of the suspects at the apex of the Israeli governmental apparatus, with effective authority and control over their subordinates and leadership positions in the War Cabinet and Security Cabinet, in which all key decisions on the conduct of the war – including blocking and limiting humanitarian aid – have been made. The Panel is also of the view that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the suspects can be held responsible as superiors given their knowledge of the crimes and the fact that they took no steps to prevent or repress their subordinates who committed them.
But no, there’s “no evidence”, right? You’re not just being a willfully ignorant brainwashed git who’s ignoring all the literal evidence and having a tantrum, right? But you won’t even read those chapters, and even if you did, your programming won’t allow you to accept them. It’s despicable. Get a fucking grip on your own head.
cool quote, where’d you get it from?
no clue what this is supposed to mean, but i assume it’s jewish, and in which case, it would probably be offensive in this context, but i’m not jewish so it isn’t my place to decide (oops there goes my logic making sense again)
Yeah, this is exactly what i said, you’re literally paraphrasing the exact thing i said, and then asking me why i’m ignoring it, when i’ve literally stated it at least three times. Yes court takes time, that’s why i fucking trust it to be accurate. There is little to no benefit in the court ruling incorrectly, so when they inevitably rule one way or they other, it’ll be final, and if not, then it will be overturned legally, of course. This is the wonderful thing about the court system, it’s fully self regulated and has procedures for everything
oh boy what a blatant mischaracterization you’ve got here, you really seem to be losing your grips on this conversation now huh? First of all. I personally do not have enough information (not evidence) on whether or not there is an past, present, or future tense genocide happening in palestine at this very time. Unfortunately i don’t exactly have copious amounts of time to dedicated to reading up on legal paperwork and various different court rulings as well as going to palestine, or at the very least, interacting with people from either side to see what’s actually going on around the area.
And as a result, i am doing the very responsible thing of staying nuanced and undecided. It’s a rather remarkable thing really, not being politically charged in any given direction, makes for quite a peaceful life, it’s nice, you should try it.
also, evidence is a bit of a stretch, we’re talking about genocide here, you either kill hundreds of thousands of people, or you don’t. It’s more accurately “suspected grounds for genocide” unless of course the evidence you’re referring to here is the active warzone. But that wouldn’t make your case sound as strong otherwise would it? Perhaps the ruling courts are using the term evidence? I have no idea. That’s possible.
ah curious, a charge that isn’t genocide! In fact, not a single block of text you ripped includes the word genocide, fascinating.
Are you familiar with the USSRs history? Their own people starved, very frequently, they were put through literal labor camps, even to this day, russia still uses labor camps for punishment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrective_labor_colony
Yet they haven’t been charged with genocide once to my knowledge, though originally, the USSR included a draft on the genocide clause that stated it would not apply to your own people. So there is that, but i’m guessing that was removed at some point.
Ah yes, i’m the one having a tantrum here.
bro the first four chapters are about starvation and intentional withholding of supplies and food. It’s literally referred to as starvation, not genocide.
There you go again, pretending that either you’ve never heard of what either “implication” or “birthright” mean and that you’re literally too stupid to write a single word into Google… OR you keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing all along; arguing in bad faith.
Just like you genocide defending lunatics always do.
Keep hammering out pages of junior high level non-sequiturs, it’s not gonna change the situation.
You deny a genocide happening. The world doesn’t.
Keep pushing that propaganda, I’ll keep replying here, as I enjoy forums and laughing at proudly ignorant American girls like you.
I come over and strangle you to death. The cause of death is strangulation. The coroner writes that in the autopsy report. Due to this evidence, I get arrested and put on trial. Yet later, after a trial I get convicted for homicide? "There goes my logic, making sense again." ;)
what do you mean by implication? I meant birthright specifically.
i did, and curiously it spat some shit out about israel, which would be why i assumed it’s jewish. Shockingly, i’m not israeli, nor jewish, so idk what the fuck it is. But please, indulge me and expand upon it. I’m always willing to learn. Unlike some people.
bro i asked a question, it’s not that deep, calm down.
again with the adhom and saying shit that’s demonstrably false. Very cool.
and maybe i will, because i’m actually just an AI. Perhaps i’m not. Who knows!
not a single part of this statement is true. The world might suspect a genocide is happening though. Me personally? It could go either way.
oh cool, i’m female now. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that most israeli supporters in the US are middle aged white men who are republican? Probably not. I’ll give you this one for your future adhoms.
ah sick, roleplaying i enjoy this.
Let’s do one. You’re my kid, i’m your parent, i don’t feed you because you keeping bombing israel and israel is angry (or something) and israel in return takes away your food (i guess i’m israel in this context) That would also make you palestine though. Naturally, you become malnourished, and eventually the authorities take you away from me, for child neglect, assuming that it doesn’t just stop at this point (that does happen here) and that i get hit with a legal case, it would almost certainly be under the pretense of “child neglect” not “homicide” because, curiously, i didn’t kill you.
Again similar thing happening in ukraine right now. They have little to no food production, which is most of their exports, but that’s irrelevant. Curiously russia isn’t committing genocide by blowing up grain silos in ukraine. It’s funny how that works.
Proudly ignorant, once again.
You keep arguing in bad faith, as everyone knows that if you actually wanted to know what “birthright” meant, as if you didn’t already, it’d take you 10 seconds to check it on Google. So asking that is you asking in bad faith. I’m explaining this because I genuinely think you don’t understand it, the proudly ignorant American that you are.
Once again, equivocation on the level that I mostly remember encountering on recess 20 years ago. You said “it says starvation, not genocide”. That’s you pretending that once can’t commit by, among other methods, intentional starvation.
Like this:
https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/12/18/israel-starvation-used-weapon-war-gaza
##The Israeli government is using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in the Gaza Strip, which is a war crime.
You can’t admit to a single piece of evidence of the MOUNTAIN of evidence of war crimes there is against Israel, but you’ll keep pretending you aren’t on their side, but being “nuanced”. No you’re not. You’re scared, willfully ignorant and on the wrong side of history.
That’s why I keep linking things like these and the only thing you can do is pitiful whinging about “both sides”.
https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/2024-05/240520-panel-report-eng.pdf https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/06/04/israel-50-years-occupation-abuses
Oh, right, sorry, I just remembered you’re proudly ignorant and probably your literacy matches that attitude, so something… more to your level:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_war_crimes_in_the_Israel–Hamas_war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_the_Gaza_Strip
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_schools_during_the_Israeli_invasion_of_Gaza

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israeli_airstrikes_on_municipal_services_in_the_Gaza_Strip
People like you disgust me, but as I don’t want to be as shit of a person as you, I actually reply in good faith. People like you just tie yourself in knots.
Yeah, i googled it. I still don’t understand what the fuck you meant by the implication of using it though. Which is why i think it’s related to israel or judaism. But i don’t know anything about those two things, so i’m not sure i would be able to recognize what you meant by it, unless you meant my birthright to post shitpost comments on the internet or something? I fail to see how this is relevant though. So i’m assuming it’s some sort of dig at religion that is failing incredibly hard here because i legitimately have no idea what you mean. And you are gaslighting yourself into believing otherwise.
i already covered this, go read what i actually said. This simply isn’t congruent with history, nor does it make any sense in the context providing, because genocide is almost always an explicit violence act against another group of people for no reason other than their ethnicity. Defining it as anything else would include Mao’s famines, and north koreas famines. But weirdly, you don’t seem to be continually puking yourself over the thought of hundreds of thousands of north korean farmers who are currently starving. It’s almost as if you either, only care about the Palestinians, or simply do not actually believe what you are saying, and are simply doing some classic, political posturing here.
Again, because you seem to be incapable of reading, russia is LITERALLY doing the same thing to ukraine. But again, doesn’t seem to matter to you, because apparently ukrainians are less worthy to life than Palestinians according to your complete lack of care about them starving.
war crimes against israel? October 7th was considered to be one, but obviously, you misspoke here. And you meant the war crimes that israel is committing, that are being levied against israel. To which, i have agreed too. And you have subsequently, ignored, either because you aren’t reading what i’m posting, even though i’m clearly reading what you post. Or because it simply disentangles your entire narrative here of you being “correct” and it makes you look bad, so in turn you have to save face by pretending they don’t exist.
Or are you just going to pull the “i couldn’t remember” card? Even though it was literally 30 minutes to an hour ago that i said this, and that you read it, in fact, why don’t i go pull it up? “Oh look, another question you haven’t asked yet which btw, yes israel is comitting war crimes, and so has hamas. It’s almost like answering actual questions is, rather easy.”
oh wow, look at that, you literally lied.
i’m on the wrong side of history? Homie, there is no wrong side of history, merely the side that gets written down and archived at some point. Whether this comes to bite in the back later is a different story. The chances of that happening are incredibly small though.
Also i find it rather cute that you keep calling me willfully ignorant, even though i keep explaining to you, that i am quite literally basically ignorant on the topic, because well. I don’t have the fucking time.
oh, you’re the “both sides” type of person, nobody is worse than these type of people. Because they sit in a superiority complex of their own, completely abusing a rather useful concept.
Since you don’t seem to understand how it works, i’ll explain it to you (properly( bothsidesing is a technique commonly used to compare to different groups, in this case opposing parties. Via isolating one side, documenting it’s behaviorisms, and rhetoric. And the repeating the same for the other side, in a similarly isolated manner. And finally, once complete, you can compare them between the two, and what would be expected (in this situation) is a significant overlap in a lot of rhetoric, and a handful of valid underlying causes to the problem. The rhetoric is obviously going to be self determinant. It should be very clear where it is. The underlying structures are going to be hidden within rhetoric most of the time, though apparent.
The problem with most “both sides” ““both sides”” type of people is that they complete forego the entire process of this, and instead do surface level equivocations of two often entirely irrelevant scenarios. Even though this is literally a fundamental fallacy of conceptualization. It’d be like if i said that global warming doesn’t exist because seasons still happen. But of course, you’ve never done this right?

oh, oh no… What a terrible discovery.
i would also like to point out, that you’re expecting to link the same resources over and over again, while expecting me to do something about it instead. Debate is a two way street my friend, you have done nothing but fence sitting here.
oh and by the way, i find it curious that you accuse me of sealioning, even though you’re literally the one DEMANDING an answer from me, lmao. Go read your definitions better so you can use fallacies properly.
my guy, you have done nothing but reiterate the same exact statement you made originally. If anybody here is in bad faith, it’s you because you refuse to interact with any of the premises i propose.
Interesting that you seem to use the “people like you” phrasing. Surely that could never imply anything bad. Surely you don’t have a trained predispoition against people who disagree with you. Do you?
But, since you seem to like fallacy so much, i will indulge you. Notably, you keep using an “appeal to the stone” fallacy. Or more clinically referred to as “proof by assertion” You’re also entertaining an “invincible ignorance fallacy” You will probably engage in “argument of repetition” later on, when in the shower, yelling at me. Also an “argument from silence” fallacy in there. And since you seem to like language so much 'ignoratio elenchi" fallacy as well.
Curious how all of these are “relevance fallacies” isn’t it. Fun fact, a common trap with fallacy is just misapplying them wherever you see fit. Whether that is the case here, or whether your line of behaviorisms uniquely lines you up for this specific type of fallacy, is not up to me, as i don’t like to meander into these kinds of things. It’s rather boring and difficult. It’s more interesting running into the underlying concepts.
