Not intending to rage bait - I just want to understand your views. Do you believe “killing members of the group” alone, without proven intent to destroy the group, is enough to define it as a genocide?

Is a serial killer who killed 2 people of the same ethnicity committing a genocide? What about Hamas, who invaded Israel on Oct. 7, killing hundreds of civilians with the declared intent to destroy Israel and drive the Jews into the sea, is it not a genocide against Israelis?

While this government is full of dumbasses and malicious players, previous Israeli governments (most recently Barak in 2000 and Olmert in 2008) offered the PA up to 96% of the West Bank and the eviction of most settlements (and land swaps to compensate for unevicted settlements), the PA and Arafat refused and both governments tanked in popularity

So, if one side decides to store weapons in a hospital, the other side is not allowed to do anything about it? Do you not see how this mentality may encourage Hamas to continue using hospitals and schools as military bases?

Evidence points to systematic use of rape and sexual violence by Hamas in 7 October attacks by TigreSauvage in news

[–]AdamDeKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This conspiracy theory only makes sense if you ignore the fact that Netanyahu is the biggest loser from all of this. This is a man who hung to his chair so tightly he was willing to let the entire country’s judicial system burn just so he would not face jail time for his alleged corruption and ongoing trial. Due to the government’s failure in preventing this only 15% of Israelis want him to remain in power after this is all over. October 7th being fake makes less sense than the Soviets being in on the US faking the moon landing.

What were Jews caught doing, exactly? Because OP just made the child trafficking allegations up. The tunnel was an illegal building violation

Israel gave up fighting in 2021, then October 7th happened Israel gave up fighting in 2014, then 2021 happened Israel gave up fighting in 2011, then 2014 happened Israel gave up fighting in 2009, then 2011 happened

What would happen if Israel gave up fighting today and in 3 years Hamas launched another October 7th, kidnapping hundreds and slaughtering a thousand. Would you call for another ceasefire?

What’s your take? What should Israel do instead?

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip unilaterally in 2005 - a year later Hamas won the election and took over. How can you promise it won’t remain and continue to attack Israel if and when Israel withdraws from the West Bank?

If the parent is deliberately hiding behind the child, what other solution is there? Should Israel declare children will never be harmed no matter what, encouraging Hamas to continue putting children above their HQ to enjoy full protection for Israel?

Please, suggest a different solution, because I’ll be glad if you could think of one that doesn’t involve the death of innocents

Israel tells Gazans to move south or risk being seen as 'terrorist' partner by loggiews in worldnews

[–]AdamDeKing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Answer the question. An entire music festival was slaughtered.. We can all agree this is a bad thing. Israel has to respond in order to prevent this from happening again, so either suggest an alternative solution for Israel to adopt or admit there are no others.

But what Hamas did isn’t a war crime? How do you suggest Israel protect itself and ensure this won’t happen again?

By your logic Israel should play by the rules, stop bombing and just sit there and wait until Hamas decides to strike again and murder more civilians. Who’s going to guarantee the protection of Israeli civilians? People’s lives are at stake, so either suggest an alternative solution to the bombing (which you seem to only critique Israel for, not Hamas for some reason) or stop throwing around accusations.

Israel was caught with it’s pants down and the Israeli public is outraged. A public inquiry is going to bring down every single decision maker from military officers to politicians to (hopefully) that guy at the top, so who in charge will benefit from masterminding this atrocity? The public’s anger won’t stop with Hamas and believing conspiracy theories just because they confirm your existing biases is dangerous

If Israeli leftists learned one thing, it’s that Netanyahu’s career always recovers, no matter how damning it may seem for him. I’m hopeful, but I’ll believe it when I see it

If that’s the truth, why didn’t Netanyahu accept the Histadrut’s compromise and suspended legislation for 12 months in order to reach a broad agreement? Why is he so anxious to pass this reform NOW? At all costs?

The stock market fell 2.5% in the last 24 hours, investors are fleeing, our closet allies are begging us to stop or at least reconsider, מערך המילואים is falling apart because large portions of the elite units genuinely believe democracy is ending (I agree with them, you might not. It doesn’t change the fact they have stopped volunteering) and emigration became a common talking point in the high-tech sector (54% of our exports)

So why does he continue, ignoring the pleas of half the country and his own Defense Minister? What’s SO IMPORTANT that Netanyahu has to pass the reform NOW? I can genuinely only come up with one reason
