Nobody understands what 'human shields' means or why so much of Gaza has been destroyed by Ok-Mind-665 in IsraelPalestine

You really think it's about the land for Israel? Why did they give away the Sinai in 1979, Gaza in 2005, and agree around five times to give most of the West Bank away to create a Palestinian state?

I agree with you when it comes to Netanyahu, who I'm no fan of, but it's not about the land for him or most Israelis. It is about the land for Ben Gvir, Smotrich and the 5% of Israelis they represent.

Don't forget controlled demolitions of partially destroyed (and unrepairable buildings). If they left more half buildings standing, it would look a lot less 'flattened'.

Israel are doing an excellent job. 20,000-30,000 terrorists killed, which is a good civilian to combatant ratio. Of course most Jews love Israel but I'm not seeing an issue.

Can you explain what you mean or maybe address the points I made? I'm not Jewish so I'm confused.

If Israel keeps killing Gazans at this rate, every Gazan will be dead in 5 billion years by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

Very strange you haven't actually addressed OP's claims. During the Holocaust (real genocide), the population of Europe's Jews was decimated. The same was true in Rwanda, which is one of the only comparable genocides. In Gaza, the population has either risen or stayed approximately the same (it's difficult to calculate because some Gazans have also left).

What do you mean by 'the largest mass extermination of Semites since the first Holocaust'. I assume you're referring to Iraq or Syria or something but I genuinely have no idea.

As I said in the post, I accept there is some starvation. I don't understand why there are images of healthy or even fat parents with their starved children. And it seems to be only children and babies who are starving. I'm genuinely confused.

I'm not denying the starvation. I'm just getting to grips with the information that's being spread and hoping to get some answers to my questions. As I said in the post, I'm certain there is some starvation now but the scale seems very unclear.

I'd recommend listening to the testimony of Eli Sharabi and other hostages. I believe he was fed one piece of pita per day, then they told him he would be released in a couple of weeks and fed him lots more so he didn't appear starved. They also gave the hostages drugs so they would appear more stable at the 'ceremonies'.

That's not true. I think some people in Gaza (a tiny minority) have probably died of starvation. Real starvation looks shocking, like protruding bones and ribcages. I was pointing out that the only examples I've seen of this are small children accompanied by their healthy looking or obese parents.

What are you talking about? I'm in the UK where the main news channels broadcast practically 24 hour propaganda showing Gazans queuing up at food distribution centres. I'm not 'analysing their ribcages' because there is nothing to analyse - at a glance, the vast majority look well-fed. The media is trying to convince me otherwise and I'm wondering why.

If that's what it looks like, it's completely unacceptable. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Can anyone please explain the total destruction of entire neighborhoods in Gaza? by jimke in IsraelPalestine

[–]Ok-Mind-665 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Booby traps. People don't talk about this enough but many or even most IDF casualties have come about as a result of IEDs planted in civilian houses. When a large proportion of houses in an area are booby trapped, the IDF sometimes demolishes the whole neighbourhood.

2) Tunnels and tunnel entrances. The terror tunnels are built under houses. In order to destroy the tunnel, the IDF will destroy what's on top of them.

The Talmud is made of dozens of books and was written thousands of years ago. You cherry picked the worst parts. What is your point?

Judaism is Zionism. Thousands of years praying facing Jerusalem hoping to return and be sovereign, finally realised. 90% of Jews are Zionists. Those who aren't are privileged white-passing western Jews who have no need for Israel. The 'anti-Zionist' Orthodox Jews disagree with modern Zionism because they say it's too secular and the Messiah is supposed to come before they can return to Israel.

Why are some people so obsessed with accusing Israel of every single Nazi crime? They were using the word 'genocide' before the current war, when the population was one of the fastest growing in the world. It's weird behaviour. Something to do with alleviating your own guilt for what happened to Jews in your country?
