Israel’s military has told some 1 million Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza and head to the southern part of the besieged territory. That's an unprecedented order applying to almost half the population ahead of an expected ground invasion against the ruling Hamas militant group.
War crimes was yesterday’s word of the day…isn’t the morning memo out yet?
It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.
Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.
Which is a war crime.
“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…
You are using a term you don’t fully understand to try to cudgle popular opinion without acknowledging your own hypocrisy of not acknowledging that this began with the slaughter of civilians to begin with. I’m sure countries like Iran love you for it,
You don’t know if it’s a short time. The time is not specified. If Hamas uses human shields, is that not a war crime?
Don’t forget the demolition of houses, and the stealing of land too.
Hey, you’re not allowed to talk about the decades of an apartheid state’s treatment of these people or the systematic destruction of their infrastructure to be stolen by illegal settlers or the fact that Israel is directly responsible for creating Hamas; all the history for this conflict started like 6 months ago!
No, no, that’s a very long time filled with heinous acts that we cannot let surface. This conflict started 6 days ago.
Where do you think Hamas is at? This happens every time. Hamas uses human shields of Palestinians. israel bombs their ass in the houses they hang out is. Liberals get upset and scream war crime. Israeli then stops.
But, will that happen this time? By my reading the answer is no. Israel will make a full force invasion and much blood will be spilled on both sides.
Instead of carrying Hamas water, you should support, as I do, the US Secretary of State who knows what is coming and is trying to setup humanitarian corridors for the humanitarian crisis that is sure to come.
Yes if Hamas uses human shields, and that is actually a war crime, which I have to believe it is but loopholes and exclusions abound in treaties, then that IS a war crime. Full stop.
Does that make it okay for others to commit war crimes?
If someone rapes or kills someone daughter, does that mean that the father gets a free pass to rape or murder the original rapist/murderer’s daughter even though she had nothing to do with it other than by happenstance of being the rapist/murderer’s daughter?
Just to reiterate, Hamas committing war crimes is Bad!
But, what you are saying is Hamas strategy of human shields should work. Israel has no recourse?
Yes, that’s sort of how human Shields work.
If you’re willing to kill an innocent to get your way you’re the bad guy in that situation.
And just to be perfectly clear here, I do live in America, and we have been the bad guy many fucking times.
I fucking hate it and I don’t understand why none of the rest of you can learn from our fuck ups.
Forgive us sir, I didn’t realize that civilians getting burned with white phosphorus, highly NSFL/NSFW was such a boring event for you.
But in reality you are probably just numb as all of us to what is happening because:
There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.
There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.
But today’s word of the day is war crime, tomorrow’s word of the day doesn’t have to be.
Willy Pete has been used by the US is Iraq and other places. One of the big reasons it was used.is that that in cities the trend is to cover roads with fabric. Of course, you can’t see movement on those roads , so willy Pete, white phosphorus, is used to clear the fabric. Don’t know why Russia uses it in Ukraine.
I wonder howmuch effect you think you have on a full blown war.
War has always been this way
I always forget that just because we did something bad means that other people should as well. I should have remembered we did the Trail of Tears and now Israel wants to do the Trail of Tears, it’s genius!
Fuck we can get away with anything as long as someone else does it first that makes it all okay I’m glad you solved this problem.
I tried to give an explanation. It fell on ideological ears.
No we just don’t buy your excuses for genocide. You can try and justify it all you want and maybe that will make you feel better but at the end of the day it is what it is and they have been trying to remove the Palestinians for years by whatever force is necessary. Whether it’s kicking them out of their homes and killing their children or now just going for a full-on fucking genocide.
You are trying to justify things that are unjustifiable

And what ideology would that be friend?
Since all you can do is make protestations about war crimes it pretty apparent
Israel committed war crimes 5 minutes ago, that’s the past, forgive everything and give them more ability to kill innocents

My friend if you have to hide behind technicalities and legalities your point is just morally wrong and you know it
Whoa. I think the rules of war are fairly specific and technicalities and legalities are determined by the International Criminal Court. Not up to you to determine and you know it.
Whoa. I think I made very clear I don’t give a fuck about what the legal fucking rules of War are.
Just because you make a rule about something doesn’t make it right.
Germany had rules that made it okay to kill the Jews, does that make it right?
You can go ahead and find everywhere I went and said anything that could be misconstrued as giving a shit about the rules of War and understand I don’t give a shit about them.
Go with crimes against humanity, crimes against basic decency, hell call it crimes against the Galactic Empire that supports the lizard people undermining the nationality of Panama.
I don’t give a shit, feel free to hide behind the technicalities of whether something is a war crime or not.
Nowhere in my life do I feel the need to try to fucking defend that
Ah so you don’t care what a war crime is, you’ll just scream it and define it as you want. Well, if that makes sense to you…
