I get Israel’s anxiety, literally being surrounded by nations that want to obliterate it from the face of the earth. Still, that doesn’t justify war crimes.
Replace “Israel” with “Russia” in your comment. Oh, wow, now suddenly neighboring nations have reasons to want them obliterated from the earth?
Russia is not surrounded. They have friends along most of their borders or a sea in between.
bad headline. this should read “Israel resumes executing child inmates in the worlds largest prison camp.”
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The seven-day pause, which began on Nov. 24 and was extended twice, had allowed for the exchange of dozens of hostages held in Gaza for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and facilitated the entry of humanitarian aid into the shattered coastal strip.
At an emergency meeting in Amman, Jordan’s King Abdullah on Thursday urged U.N. officials and international groups to pressure Israel to allow more aid into the beleaguered enclave, according to delegates.
When the ceasefire first came into effect a week ago, Israel was preparing to turn the focus of its operation to southern Gaza after its seven-week assault to the north.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in Israel during his third visit to the Middle East since the war began, did not comment on the resumption of fighting as he headed for Dubai.
On Thursday, Blinken said he told Netanyahu Israel cannot repeat in south Gaza the massive civilian casualties and displacement of residents it inflicted in the north.
“We discussed the details of Israel’s ongoing planning and I underscored the imperative for the United States that the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale that we saw in northern Gaza not be repeated in the south,” Blinken told reporters in Tel Aviv, adding the Israeli government had agreed.
The original article contains 811 words, the summary contains 214 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
There’s a reason that “don’t negotiate with terrorists” is a good rule to follow
That’s just code for supporting genocide and totalitarianism. The only way to stop a terrorist movement is in fact to engage with it and deal with their grievances in good faith. You only fight them where it is necessary because every fight makes more recruits for their cause.
Too bad the grievances of these specific terrorists is that if you don’t become muslim they’ll kill you.
This isn’t some fucking oppressed minority group just trying to be a good lil’ bean and live their lives. They’re radicals that want to genocide people and convert the world to islam by force and threat of death of you don’t.
Do you think you should engage with domestic right wing US terrorism? To ask the christo-fascists why they are doing what they’re doing and to please stop it? No, they’re insidious because they will die believing they’re 100% in the right and that you trying to prevent them from a full takeover is being “intolerant.”
Fucking insane you people sit here defending the middle east’s version of conservative Christian nationalism. Fuck all religious nutter butters, they’re the crabs in a bucket trying to revert us to the middle ages so they can have their way with society.
That’s funny. They sure seem to leave the Christians in Gaza alone for having forcible conversion as a policy.
Oh right, I forgot. You’re full of shit. These guys aren’t Al Qaida. In fact they’ve consistently shut down any attempt at AQ coming into Gaza.
They aren’t even saying they want Israel to be a Muslim sharia government. They just want Israel to leave Palestine alone.
Your phrasing suggests that Hamas resumed the hostilities. Have you actually read the article?
Here’s some information you may find helpful about how Hamas broke the truce yesterday with yet another genocidal terrorist attack: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/shooting-attack-jerusalem-wounds-least-6-ambulance-service-2023-11-30/
Both sides got things they wanted. Seems like a successful negotiation to me.
indeed it is, makes me wonder why any country still has any dealings with Israel at this point
It’s simple - Israel is not a terrorist country.
Their actions speak otherwise.

Which side is taking hostages? Which side slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped civilians without even claiming they were going after military targets? Hint: not Israel. If you have the stomach, watch this uncensored Oct 7 footage (warning: blood, gore, and death,) and tell me the ones responding to this are the real terorists, and who has the moral high ground. Note how they shoot people trying to surrender and any civilians they happen to come across.
How does one get such a twisted worldview?
Israel actually have thousands of “prisoners”, many of which are being held indefinitely without charges or trial. Usually when someone is being held against their will, without reason we call them a hostage. Israel has abducted more Palestinians during the “truce” than they have released. Israel is also seemingly responsible for many of the deaths of Israeli civilians on the 7th of October, including shooting people exiting homes in kibbutzim at the orders of the army.If you want to start sharing graphic, gory, NSFL videos, I have countless videos of Palestinian children without limbs, intact skulls, you name it. No one here is defending Hamas killing civilians. But they difference is that unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.

That’s war; stay belligerent after defeat, be subjected to your enemy’s military courts. They still get more due process than the hostages did.

Friendly fire exists therefore terrorism? Please.

You are attempting to justify Hamas when you imply Israel is the greater evil, calling them the terrorists.
unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.
That’s what happens when you start a war, civilians die as collateral damage. Responding to an organized attack by a hostile government is not terrorism. Not responding is foolish.
No, that’s a war crime. Military courts are only allowed to do the minimal required to maintain order against things like looting. And they must return the justice system to local hands as soon as possible.
54 years is a war crime when that measurement is supposed to be in months at the most.

Citation?

While the enemy remains belligerent? It’s clearly not yet possible. Palestine has been trying to kill the Jews for at least 70 years and have yet to pacify themselves. That’s what needs to happen for them to have autonomy for such things.
You’re either in control or you’re not. You don’t get to have so much control that you can arrest people but then throw your hands up and say it’s a war zone.
And don’t act like Israel’s hands are clean. They used terrorism to get rid of the British troops and pursue the original Nakba. White washing that with some “they just hate us” propaganda is bullshit.
So you have a choice. It’s either a war crime or Apartheid. You’re either in control or you’re not.
Edit- I’m sorry I forgot the citation for you. It’s called the Geneva Convention.
a truce is a pause in warfare - peace is only achieved via surrender. in this particular war, it’ll be only unconditional surrender - and it’s obvious who’s going to be surrendering to whom.
How is it a war if one side can cut off the electricity, fuel and drinking water used by the other side ?
War is a funny way to say genocide
Eh…it’s terrible people killing each other. War is apt.
Glad to know the IDF propaganda is working so well.
Next we should spin up bots that comment silly things like “bad people on both sides.” Genius /s
This is a simple oppressed people fighting back against Zionist settler colonialists.
Staying in a fascist ethnostate is a choice that Israelis make, and it’s fucked up that the children’s parents do so.
Taking hostages and bombing civillians is not fighting back against the settlers. If the actually did it they would attack the settlers and no innocents. The IDF and israel government are committing a genocide against palestinians but at the same time Hamas is attempting one against israelitea. They are the same level of monsters, just one is stronger than the other.

Their attacks were extremely targeted at IDF soldiers. Hamas civilian casualty rate is far lower than the avarage American rate. Let alone the israeli rate
Only 29 of the 1200 killed were children. It’s very clear they avoided killing them.
Meanwhile israel has genocided 6000 children already.
Are you willfully ignorant or just sticking to false reports?
Gaza is literally a fascist ethnostate while Israel is the most ethnically diverse country within thousands of miles. And Hamas’s method of “fighting back” is murdering thousands of innocents and rejecting any form of peace. You explicitly support terrorism?
This website is plastered with antisemitic propaganda. People will believe whatever they want to.
Gaza has all kinds of ethnicities and doesn’t discriminate between religions. There are plenty of Christians living there.
Meanwhile israel is a Zionist apartheids ethno-state where people of one religion have more rights than others.
There were about 3000 christians in 2007, now down to 1000, or less. That is under 2% of the population.
Christians in the Gaza strip were victims of targeted attacks, bombings and murders. Hamas approved.
Plenty of christians, my ass. A bit more and you’ll be yelling about a lively and safe LGBTQ community.
gaza doesn’t have the autonomy that comes with being a state - the borders and ports are completely controlled by the IDF. Its also about half children by population. Its essentially more similar to a concentration camp for ethnic minorities than it is a state.
The “simple oppressed people” kinda loses its touch when they daily fire dozens of rockets indiscriminately at Israel. They don’t even have targets, just trying to cause as much destruction as possible.
Simple people is correct. You might want to look up Hamas’s approval rating.
Both sides here are evil. We’re just debating which circle of hell they’re going to.
The brave Palestinians aren’t going to allow themselves to get ethnically cleansed without a fight. Both sides are not evil only the israelis are.
Rah rah…GOOOO TEAM!!!
reminder there was a truce before the 7th of October attacks
Reminder that hundreds of Palestinians were murdered during the 9-year “truce” from 2014-2023. Not to mention the land stolen and the homes, farms, and crops destroyed in the West Bank during that period.
now do missiles fired
Israeli deaths are already shown in that graph. I know it’s hard to see, try zooming in.
You didn’t answer them. Why don’t unsuccessful attempts to blindly and indiscriminately murder Israelis count?
Did I ever say they don’t count? The point is that both Israel and Hamas violated the “truce”, making it a stretch to say there was an actual truce prior to October 7th.
Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians suffer as a result of the exchanges between the IDF and Hamas.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about their civilians.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about killing civilians to achieve their goal.
But the IDF has been doing this for far longer than Hamas and helped to create them in the first place.
do missiles fired
Count the rocks thrown or what lmao
In 1993, a Palestinian child threw a rock at an IDF soldier bulldozing their home and that apparently justifies the mass slaughter of civilians today.
Sorry, but I couldn’t find the statistics on rockets fired by Palestinian children. Just some assholes named Hamas, maybe Israel shouldn’t have helped to create them.
I did find this though.
Oh great, then glad you support israel in taking down hamas.

This is as terrible an argument as when republicans point to maps showing huge swathes of land colored red as if it’s land that votes instead of the smaller blue areas of land filled with way more people (i.e. actual voters) and claiming that republicans are underrepresented. Lives are what matter and it’s clear who is doing more killing.
No there wasn’t. Israel has never stopped committing acts of war against Gaza. There was a blockade in place and they never stopped doing strikes. To say there was a truce is fucking farcical.
Reminder that there was a 56 year occupation and a 75 year ethnic cleansing before the 7th of October attacks
There was never a “56-year occupation” and ethnic cleansing.
deleted by creator
Yeah, that’s where you’re wrong…
You are literally considering existing on an undisputed land as “occupation” and self-defense as ethnic cleansing. Just look at numbers of Palestinian population and the whole ethnic cleansing shit I see on the internet falls apart.
Undisputed land? Bro are you that daft?
Some more reminders to add:
-
Reminder that a majority of Palestinian deaths since October 7th were not members of Hamas
-
Reminder that hundreds have been murdered in the West Bank since October 7th even though “war” was only declared against Hamas who has no administration over the West Bank
-
Reminder that a large swath of civilian deaths were children who had no say in the 2006 “election” of Hamas to administer the Gaza strip
Do you have a citation for hundreds of murders in the West Bank? All I can find are articles about individual incidents, and one that mentioned 34 children.
Reminder that a large swath of civilian deaths were children who had no say in the 2006 “election” of Hamas to administer the Gaza strip
Gazan checklist: Elect a terrorist government, support Intifada (70% support,) have lots of kids in miserable conditions while in what critics call an “open air prison,” teach your kids to hate and become militants, allow Hamas to hide among your children while starting an unwinnable war, then blame Israel for the inevitable and predictable consequences.
Why do none of you seem to consider Gazan parents responsible for the circumstances of their children?

Seems like you’re trying to violate rule 5 without addressing the substance of my comment.
Your post was basically a blood libel against Palestinians. Is that enough addressing of the substance for you?
Your post was basically a blood libel against Palestinians.
I’d love to hear you make this obviously absurd comparison. Tell me more about how personal responsibility for one’s offspring is the same as baseless accusation of murdering and using the blood of Christians for rituals. I’ll wait.
Blood libel or ritual murder libel (also blood accusation) is an antisemitic canard which falsely accuses Jews of murdering Christians in order to use their blood in the performance of religious rituals.
-
Reminder that multiple Palestinian villages have been ethnically cleansed in the West Bank during the assault on Gaza, by settler militias supported by the IOF.
-
Reminder that Israel rejected early proposals for hostage exchanges opting instead for carnage on the Palestinian civilians.
-
Reminder that Israel KNEW of the October 7 attack ahead of time and failed to do anything to stop it.
-
Reminder that Israel is by all accounts a setler-colonial ethnostate imposing apartheid on the Palestinian people.
imposing apartheid on the Palestinian people.
If you’re interested in the double standard regarding such definitions, watch this: “Algeria, where are your Jews?” For those unaware of the answer, they were driven from the Muslim world.

My support for Palestinian liberation has nothing to do with Algeria, sorry.
You called them an apartheid state, Algeria, (along with Palestine and other Pro-Palestinian Islamic nations,) had something to do with the UN inappropriately defining them as such. Maybe watch the video?
The title is a whataboutism. So no, I’m not going to give it engagement, even to debunk it. Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and imprisonment of Gaza is objectively Apartheid, all on it’s own.
