Israel and Palestine Conflict Heats Up

[PC2]

Then why do they keep voting for the people doing the cleansing?

They don't, Likud and Bibi are against ethnic cleansing.

[Easo]

IDF are there carrying out operations and communication and strategy.

They are sitting in those residential areas plotting attacks against the Palestinians.

Also why did you say " not sitting in their homes"

Who said they were in their "homes" some of them live there absolutely but there are military specific buildings among residential ones. I thought that was clear, why alter what was said?

IDF are not doing that from residential blocks. But keep trying to find what does not exist.

Kinda weird how it's only a minority of extremists yet they've been cleansing them for decades. If things keep going at this rate Palestinians won't exist within Israel within our lifetimes. There will just be some random leftovers living in some of the cities.

But I guess it's fine as long as you can find some Israeli citizen willing to say they wanted peace.

You really should take a look at demographics of Palestinians.

Bibi is against ethic cleansing... he just perpetrates it.

Hey... if Israel isn't just a white apartheid state but a jewish state.. why did they sterilise the black jews?

I mean they took a page out of the nazi book... several volumes in fact... they haven't quite reached the mass exterminations yet... but they're making a good go of it by bombing an open air ghetto/prison.

I really don't know why you're bending over backwards to try and claim that targeting a building - is targeting journalists.

By this logic targeting a hospital is also fine as long as you give people adequate warning to evacuate the premises prior to demolishing it. You're targeting the building after all, not the medical staff or patients.

The better question is why y'all are bending over backwards defending apartheid under the flimsiest of semantic arguments. It's quite vile.

They don't, Likud and Bibi are against ethnic cleansing.

Sure, Jan. That's why they constantly go on about preserving "the Jewish character of Israel".

and 1876 contracts that don't mean anything...

Hey does this mean that ancestors of slave owners can bring up with old contract to try and claim people in America now?

Trying to sound clever, when clueless you are.

Civilian hospitals (yes, the buildings called hospitals - not only the hospital staff) have special protection (unless actually used by the military etc; just having some wounded soldiers with firearms doesn't matter).
Media buildings have no similar protection.

And what strategic value do they have?

This was a deliberate attack on the media, and it's not the first time.

Well I wonder if Hamas is committing War crimes firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli cities? Or is that something we have to have a measured and nuanced view on for some inexplicable reason.

Very good, captain clever.

Now do -why- hospitals have such protections and it'll become abundantly clear why silly legalist arguments don't hold water in reality. "It's technically permissible" doesn't make it not a bullshit thing to do.

You're missing the damn point:
if you blow up a hospital, you have functionally decimated the capacity of the doctors/nurses to practice healthcare.
if you blow up a media building, you have functionally decimated the capacity of journalists to...you know...broadcast.

Trying whataboutism is still an acknowledgement that what Israel is doing is a war crime, sweaty. Lol.

But it's technically legal therefore it's fine. /s

Sometimes I wish Qin Shi Huang buried the legalists instead of the Confucians so we wouldn't have to listen to these shitty sociopathic arguments about ethnic cleansing and gun ownership.

Well, no. Taking down the Al Jazeera/Associated Press could very well be considered war crime. Journalists are considered civilians and protected by international humanitarian law. That was not a smart move at all.

Ohh, please read below;

Protection of media facilities as civilian objects

Radio and television facilities are civilian objects and as such enjoy general protection. The prohibition on attacking civilian objects has been firmly established in international humanitarian law since the beginning of the twentieth century and was reaffirmed in 1977 Protocol I and in the Statute of the International Criminal Court.

HAHAHAHA suuuure.

He's being himself, isn't he?

[postman1782]

Funny, because that is what they are doing right now. Stealing more Palestinian land.

No, the disputed property in Jerusalem wasn't Palestinian land.

[Theodarzna]

No, the disputed property in Jerusalem wasn't Palestinian land.

I'm wondering if in Palestine, can? will? non-Palestinians be able to own land or charge rent? Or is that reserved for only a specific ethnic group?

[Endus]

No, the disputed property in Jerusalem wasn't Palestinian land.

How was it not?

It certainly isn't Israeli land. Since it's part of the Occupied Territories. And thus is not part of Israel.

You're just dogwhistling, and it's pathetic.

The issue exists because Israel refuses to recognize Palestinian claims on the properties, instead citing a 19th-century deed. And the land isn't even inside Israel, to begin with.

[postman1782]

It was Palestinian land before 1948 when it was stolen.

Killing blockaded civilians and destroying infrastructure on a massive scale: Israel is committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip
