Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.
Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week’s tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.
You’ll find that I’m critical of both sides in this conflict. I believe Israel and Hamas governments are in the wrong, have killed innocent people, and both should be dissolved and held accountable. This is the result of putting extremists in power.
Or racism. Probably racism. One of the biggest driving factors in checks papers ah, genocide.
Israel creates terrorists out of Palestinians by the constant chokehold in the form of an apartheid state. Almost like if you abuse a group of people repeatedly over years, eventually, some of them get the whacky idea to hit back.
They attacked Israel one day after it declared independence. With the, ever since, stated goal of destroying Israel. Not accepting any sort of agreement. Pure hate and destruction.
But Israel are the bad guys because of racism? They are the abusers, because they fight back and don’t want to get destroyed? They are certainly not saints by any means, but what a twisted view is that? That is the type of bullshit like Russia had to attack Ukraine because of NATO.
Hey boss, when you have a group of people suddenly declare a holy site and that they’re a new country inside an existing country, that’s usually met with force of “No, fuck off”. Try it in the United States, I can guarantee you it will not last a week. They started the conflict on ‘religious grounds’ and have been pushing Palestinians out of their homes, by force, while also trying to make themselves synonymous with Jews as a whole so suckers like you think they’re the victims. Hell, the United States sent them the Iron Dome infrastructure and they used that protection to do more slaughtering of Palestinians and take more land.
Yes. Israel are the bad guys for using white fucking phosphorus as a weapon. They aren’t defending themselves. They’re literally stealing homes and land and when Palestinians try to take it back they’re killed. Look at the map of their border for the last couple decades. Absolutely fuck Israel. They not only started this conflict but put Palestinians into an open air prison from which they cannot escape. Look up what an apartheid state is because that’s the chokehold Israel has had over the Palestinians for years upon years. This is not new. Israel has always been the bad guys and will continue to be. This shouldn’t be controversial and it boggles my mind how so many people can be so poorly informed about this conflict and simply take the side of Israel because daddy Biden and the Western countries default to it.
Israel does not mean all jews. Israel does not get a free genocide pass because Jews faced their own genocide 80 years ago. They do not get to use chemical weapons because they themselves were gassed. They do not get to become the monsters they once fought against.
I think once you start using chemical weapons such as white phosphorus, a chemical agent so controversial Call of Duty had to remove it as a killstreak after backlash, you have lost the plot so hard that anyone willing to defend Israel after this are just transparently ignorant or monsters.
They told like half of Gaza to clear out in 24 hours, that’s well over a million people, it’s literally impossible to accomplish that. It’s to get deniability when killing civilians.
So Israel wants to kill civilians in Gaza? How ludicrous! They must have been doing exactly that for all these years, every single day! I wonder what happened right now that their drive to kill civilians peaked so much! Palestinians are totally innocent and don’t want to kill civilians in Israel though, right? This never happened, or did I miss anything?
This is the exact mindset that led to the Internment of Japanese Americans, or the frequent racism against Muslims for years after 9-11(and still going on to this day). People from a place do no represent the place they’re from, and a group of terrorists do not represent millions of people.
Look up what plausible deniability is. The goal is genocide, but they can’t just do genocide without pissing off the world. So they basically imprison 2.2 million people in a space the size of Seattle, destroy entire buildings, shoot unarmed people in Palestinian territory, bulldoze Palestinian homes or outright take them and give them to Israeli settlers. This naturally pisses people off. Hamas fires rockets in response. Israel blows even more shit up in response. They perpetuate the cycle put into motion when the UK stole Palestinian land and gave it to Israel.
Let’s not get the sequence of events wrong. Israel faced existential threads from day one of declaring independence, where the surrounding states immediately attacked. There was and is no compromise for Palestine, they want to destroy Israel. That is their official goal, not some secret or conspiracy.
Palestine is not a prison because they are super nice people and Israel is evil. The issue is terrorism. Israel needs to deal with it some way. You can argue that there are better ways, certainly. And that Israel is doing a crap job, like US prisons.
What is Israel supposed to do now? What would your plan be? More than one out of every 10’000 of your fellow people just got murdered. That’s like 46’000 people if it were the USA. That is the scale.
If we look at history, for example Nazis, do you think it was right to bomb Germany to the ground?
Source? Or is that just a hunch that you’re presenting as fact?
In fact, I’d be wary of saying anything without “reportedly” heavily attached in this kinda situation. There is so much propaganda and misinformation that stating anything as fact is dangerous.
I don’t know of one trust worthy source. But you can start reading from here.
As this is a very hot topic, follow links, read edit history and discussion. If you can, also read in different languages.
So you’re just talking out your ass and presenting as fact.
I asked for sources for your claim because I couldn’t find a single source saying it was Hamas, while multiple claimed Israel.
I’m the one actually doing research and being responsible about how I discuss this topic. You presented as fact something you couldn’t provide a single source for. I said “there’s reports” and was able to provide a handful of reports when asked.
I’ve read multiple books on the conflict, I know pretty detailed history going back to just prior to 1917. I don’t need a wikipedia article that goes back less than 20 years, thanks.

How about if you can, don’t present complete bullshit as fact? For starters, at least. Then maybe you can get on some goofy-ass multilingual high horse 🤦♂️
Telling people to leave when there is nowhere to go, Egypt is refusing to open their border and I doubt Israel is going to open theirs, isn’t not wanting to commit genocide: it’s a way to save face, to say “well they didn’t evacuate so it’s their problem.”
Genocide
Removed by mod
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.”
Did a quick google for ya.
Removed by mod
Because the Palestinians were displaced from their native land?
So that justifies hamas committing atrocities?
so that justifies the bombing of civillians?

Answer my question first.
Both sides are terrorists, yes. Glad we could agree on this.
Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week’s tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.
Let me help you with the answer to my question. Nothing justifies terror acts that Hamas did. NOTHING
No one here is justifying Hamas you absolute goober
I’m watching very closely. I recommend you investigate the difference between Hamas and Gaza
Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields.
Yes
How? Hamas attacked Israel. So Hamas is committing genocide on itself? Seems like a leopard eating you face move.
We got a big brain over hurrr
You’ll find that I’m critical of both sides in this conflict. I believe Israel and Hamas governments are in the wrong, have killed innocent people, and both should be dissolved and held accountable. This is the result of putting extremists in power.
And one of them enjoys unconditional support from the most powerful military in the world. It’s completely asymmetrical.
I wonder why nobody supports the Palestine people, not even the Arab countries around. Perhaps because of all the terrorist attacks?
Or racism. Probably racism. One of the biggest driving factors in checks papers ah, genocide.

White phosphorus is used in smoke and illumination kits. It is not only used as an incendiary weapon.
It is only legal to be used in smoke or illumination purposes.
It is being used for neither by Israel.
Got a source?
Yeah you’re literally commenting on it.
Right now by bombing one of the worlds most densely populated areas with white phosphors.
The White Phosphorus is in the flares, not the bombs.
If they actually want to commit genocide, why are they telling the population to leave the dangerous areas, perform roof knocking, etc.?
They told like half of Gaza to clear out in 24 hours, that’s well over a million people, it’s literally impossible to accomplish that. It’s to get deniability when killing civilians.
They also then bombed the evacuation route, lol. Mustache twirling evil.
So Israel wants to kill civilians in Gaza? How ludicrous! They must have been doing exactly that for all these years, every single day! I wonder what happened right now that their drive to kill civilians peaked so much! Palestinians are totally innocent and don’t want to kill civilians in Israel though, right? This never happened, or did I miss anything?
Of course they don’t. I think you’re mistaking Hamas for the general palestinian population
That’s only because hamas actively tries to be mistaken for general Palestinian population.
Then don’t fall for it
Bro that means you’re literally trying to help Hamas
This is the exact mindset that led to the Internment of Japanese Americans, or the frequent racism against Muslims for years after 9-11(and still going on to this day). People from a place do no represent the place they’re from, and a group of terrorists do not represent millions of people.
To give the illusion of escape.
Well, you generally don’t declare to the world you’re doing genocide. You ask for forgiveness, not permission.
That was not what I was asking. They avoid killing them quite a bit, given the circumstances. Why would they do that if their goal was genocide?
Look up what plausible deniability is. The goal is genocide, but they can’t just do genocide without pissing off the world. So they basically imprison 2.2 million people in a space the size of Seattle, destroy entire buildings, shoot unarmed people in Palestinian territory, bulldoze Palestinian homes or outright take them and give them to Israeli settlers.

They have another, competing goal of getting cheap labor out of the Palestinians.
Well, you generally don’t declare to the world you’re doing genocide. You ask for forgiveness, not permission.
They told people to gather in the city center, and then they bombed the city center
There’s reports of them bombing the exit corridor.

They stopped roof knocking last week.
