you should ask Israelis if they feel like Oct 7 was a display of incompetence.
Oct 7 will never happen again because it shouldn't have been able to happen in the first place had Israel been less busy fomenting Palestinian extremism in Gaza, and beating/killing Palestinians in the West Bank.
There is no justification for the conditions in Gaza today. All I see are Israelis relishing in the suffering of another group of people. And I see Israeli extremists continuing to conflate Israeli Nationalism with Judaism, so that any criticism of Israel is called anti-Semitic.
I was about to make a joke about this to your sibling comment. Completely agree that oct 7 was one of the biggest security fuck ups in modern history, the militants never shouldve been allowed to escape gaza.
There is no defending Israel's actions over the last year. I just hate seeing people hitting the wrong points. The lopsided death count is irrelevant because it is Hamas' fault. The annexation of gaza is irrelevant because thats what happens when you lose a war you started.
Now starving them out and running them over Tiananmen square style, thats pretty relevant I think. Israels actions in the west bank were in many ways even worse until the starvation stuff started. Straight up state sanctioned terrorism happening over there
I was not aware that Hamas made Israel do a genocide on the Palestinian population. Were the children and women Israel mercilessly shot and bombed also Hamas? The people Israel shoots at the aid sites are also Hamas?
Did Hamas make Israel starve the Palestinian population (war crime) and not allow aid to reach them (war crime) and kill journalists (war crime).
No, Israel has no excuses for the genocide they do on the Palestinian population. You are doing the same as a Holocaust denialist: trying to either say it didn't happen or find excuses for it. Call it a genocide, call it for what it is.
I am just focusing on Israel committing a genocide on the Palestinian population.
using dehumanizing/racist language as a defense for war crimes unfortunately doesn't fly at The Hague.
