"You will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke - come on, we are waiting for you," Palestinian political activist Ahed Tamimi said.

Her Instagram post, translated in the link:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

She has since been arrested:

      If Israel WAS intentionally targeting civilians

      I guess you’re just ignoring them openly admitting targeting refugee camps and schools.

      Keep up the mental gymnastics, you’re doing great

      Edit: Forgot to mention the journalists they’ve been targeting as well.

          Gunning down journalists isn’t the “sad reality of war”. It’s an intentional war crime that also helps them control the narrative so people like you will get tricked into thinking the IDF isn’t a barbaric organization that kills indiscriminately.

              Because that’s the reporting you’ve looked at. If you’re talking about the journalists they’ve sniped and bombed then yeah those were very intentional. Aside from that they very clearly don’t mind huge collateral when they strike Palestinian homes so in that respect, yes it’s very clearly indiscriminate.

              This line of argument is curious though. Do you think that if their war crimes were deliberately done instead of indiscriminately would that absolve them in your mind?

              Because all you’re doing is dancing around this human rights atrocity with semantics.

                  You having that perspective shows how incomplete your understanding is.

                  And it’s also interesting how obtuse you’re being with the definition of a genocide.

                  In Gaza, the 2 million inhabitants are kept under a multi decade siege where they’ve been forced into complete economic collapse. They lock down the borders so 95% of those prisoners can’t get the tech to clean water so have to suffer with disease ridden sludge. The average Gazan lives on two slices of bread per day. When extremists are hiding there the IDF will destroy all of their civilian infrastructure to get them with no care for how this will ruin the prisoners quality of life further. 60% of Gazans are 18 and under. I’ll say that again, Gazans are majority children at this point because Israel has killed so many of their parents (the vast majority not being Hamas members)

                  In the West Bank right wing settlers go out with IDF soldiers to gun down Palestinians and remove them from their homes. This is the region without Hamas by the way. This has also been happening longer than Gaza has been under siege, as the occupation of Gaza only became a siege when Hamas grew into power (with massive help from extremist Zionists in the Israeli government).

                  Just because they aren’t gassing them and setting up firing lines doesn’t mean they aren’t being slowly eradicated. Unlike the Nazis, they need good global pr to keep the billions of foreign investment flowing so of course they’re playing the optics game.

                  Israel is literally destroying Palestinian culture with their colonization and ruthless destruction. The Israeli Likud party is on record with their desire for a one state solution and how they propped up Hamas to make that solution more viable than the two state solution that Rabin and Arafat almost had in place before Zionists assassinated the Israeli Rabin to get Netanyahu in power.

                  I haven’t moved goalposts, you’re refusing to acknowledge their existence. A slow genocide is still a genocide, it just hides behind plausible deniability that people like you eat up uncritically. Much like China with the Uighurs.

                  “Don’t move the goal posts, ignore me plugging my ears and shouting ‘I CAN’T HEAR YOU I AM THE GOOD GUY’.” Got it.

          You replied about the schools, but not the refugee camp. Does that one make you uncomfortable?

          If that’s the case, why do they suck so much at it?

          Assuming you’re naive and not trolling, it’s to maintain plausible deniability. Just look at what China is doing. They’ve slow rolled their genocides and the world is largely turning a blind eye. Bibi wasn’t clever enough to realize that though apparently.

              TLDR: Genocide is OK because my team is doing it. Let me explain why these warcrimes don’t matter.

              Thinking they’re just maintaining plausible deniability and slow rolling it is such a stupid take, I don’t even know where to begin. I think even you know that doesn’t match up with reality.

              You must have a hard time with reading comprehension. I said China is slow rolling which is why the world turns a blind eye. Bibi went to hard out of the gate and now everyone is watching.

              Unless you’re also denying China’s genocide against the Uyghurs too?

              I guess expecting reading comprehension was asking too much out of a Genocide and warcrimes apologist.
