This is an extremely racist opinion. And I would go so far as call it genocidal speech. This post needs to be removed from HN.
I don't understand the preceding comment well enough to defend it or to see the racism in it; there is context I am probably missing.
In it’s most favorable interpretation is a call to keep Palestinians subjugated and stripped of political and civil rights. This speech has been used to promote a Jewish ethnostate, which is in fact racist, and in the worst cases this speech is used to advocate for the expulsion of Palestinians from their land.
At best this is an advocacy for a racist policy, at worst this is genocidal speech.
> Well, the IDF is executing lots of war criminals, even future ones in Gaza ;)
I can’t take this any other way then the author is stating that killing of innocent civilians in Gaza is justified because otherwise they were destined to become war criminals.
This kind of speech was very common among people justifying police brutality and neighborhood crackdown against black people in the USA. It is extremely racist as it stipulates that Palestinians, by merit of being Palestinians, are inherently bad people and deserve to die.
The real question is if everyone loves the peace loving Gazans so much, why has Egypt built a wall to keep the peaceful refugees out?
Perhaps maybe they don't want the Gazans to start a civil war in their country like in Jordan, Lebanon, etc. Realpolitik.
It was the precious reference (backed by a smiley no less) to how the good the current operation is at killing "future" war criminals -- obviously referring to minors. Who are also just as obviously being collectively subject to air strikes for the crime of being you-know-what.
It was a truly disgusting comment, actually. Unfortunately "frank" and deeply revelatory expressions of this sort are by no means unusual in the sphere of public discourse that supports the current operation in Gaza. From the highest levels down.
Sometimes it sucks when your apartment is in the same town as a ball bearing factory.
The Air Force didn’t give anyone a weeks heads up either, what the IDF is doing is so far from a war crime it’s not even funny.
Last time I checked when the US attacked Iran its response was to shoot down its own plane full of its war criminals. I relish the thought of a Yemeni single drone getting through to a CSG, I see a 'proportionate' response.
South America is wonderful, very few communists here, I wonder what happened, when I go to the football stadium I smile, and thank them for their help building the stadiums, truly a stadium of the people they built for us capitalists to watch our football games.
I'm glad that Kissinger found Che who enslaved millions and he was brought to justice in Bolivia.
