You’re right, it’s more like a genocide. After all, they’re just bombing everything indiscriminately, starving people to death, blocking humanitarian aid and occupying illegally territories that don’t belong to them.
Not to mention that they basically shot to kill everyone they find, be it an UN worker, a child or an US citizen protesting.
But hey, god forbid we criticise what those bastards do, we wouldn’t like to be called antisemitic…
Fuck Netanyahu, fuck his government and fuck everyone supporting what they are doing in Gaza.
I’m pretty sure that if we’re not seeing more deaths it is because the international community would have trouble trying to justify it. But not because Netanyahu doesn’t want it.
They abuse Palestinians in their jails, they kill children, they attack refugee camps… All because “Hamas was hiding there”. I’m sorry but no. There’s a limit to what you can do. And Israel is surpassing it by far. They are not only killing, they are razing cities, they are basically making Gaza uninhabitable and they are blocking humanitarian aid (when they’re not directly destroying it), so yeah, they are trying to starve people.
If you raze their towns making them effectively uninhabitable and then declare those zones “a war zone” while you also block any effort to reconstruct and allow people to occupy those territories, you’re expelling them from their land.
Then you shouldn’t mind of Israelites were forced to uproot and move to another part of Israel in order to respect the border as it was agreed back when the State was created, right? I mean, Israelites being forcibly moved inside Israel shouldn’t be a problem if it’s not a problem to do the same thing to Gazans…
Right, and obviously you think there’s no cost or trauma associated with it, so when Hamas does the same thing in Israel your reaction is “Houses can be rebuilt”, right?
In Gaza there is only temporary evacuations forced displacement of civilians from dangerous areas their homes. This is not only illegal but required under international humanitarian law as a war crime
There, fixed it for you.
Gazans are not constantly expelled from their land
True, but not a good thing. The Israeli apartheid regime is basically moving Gazans around inside an open air prison in between the murder and the theft and destruction of those things necessary for people to live.
Rule 24. Each party to the conflict must, to the extent feasible, remove civilian persons and objects under its control from the vicinity of military objectives.
B. Parties to a non-international armed conflict may not order the displacement of the civilian population, in whole or in part, for reasons related to the conflict, unless the security of the civilians involved or imperative military reasons so demand
Weird that you’d include this in DEFENSE of Israel since that’s what they’re constantly doing. Hell, sometimes they’ll even force civilians into a so-called “safe zone” and then bomb that area!
I’m including it because you seem to utterly unaware of international law.
Is it opposite day already? Or just the Zionist Day of Projection, which is every day that ends in a y?
Israel has attacked military objectives in safe zones
A zone is by definition not safe if it contains a military objective. That’s so obvious that it’s frankly embarrassing for both of us that I have to point it out to you.
That is legal under international law
Would be if it wasn’t horseshit. The IDF claims phantom militants everywhere they bomb. In the vast majority of cases, there’s no legitimate military target.
Hamas putting their weapons depots and operating bases in areas protected under international humanitarian law
According to the IDF, an organization synonymous with concocting falsehoods to excuse deliberate targeting of civilians.
is a war crime
Even if they WEREN’T lying about there being Hamas bases there, bombing a hospital or a school or a refugee camp would STILL be a war crime.
Nobody’s forcing Israel to kill civilians. Israel is TARGETING civilians, with the “bases” made up afterwards and never proven to exist in the vast majority of cases.
Attacking these is not a war crime.
Yes, it most certainly is. Forgetting for a second that there’s hardly ever any hostiles there, bombing civilians is a war crime.
Imagine for a second that, unbeknownst to you, the guy who lives in the apartment below yours is a terrorist. Would that make it acceptable for your government to reduce the entire block to rubble, killing you and every other civilian in the process?

So what you’re saying is that people can freely return to their homes in Gaza city?

Where and what do they return to after those temporary evacuations?

Right, and nobody else will be motivated to attack Israelis after coming home to an obliterated home with their dead family inside.

In fact, almost all Palestinians in Gaza have been forcibly displaced
