There was no Hamas or tunnels when they massacred Palestinians in Tantura in 1948

There was no Hamas or tunnels when they massacred Palestinians in Khan Yunis in 1956

Israel never needed an excuse they just need a lie to sell to the rest of the world now that everyone is watching

@PanArab @ira Hamas wasn't founded until THE 80s. Wtf do people think was happening for the first 40 years lmao 🤦 You literally can't blame everything on Hamas, they didn't even exist for half the time.

You're right, it was previously the PLO that were bombing places and hijacking planes

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 24 points 10 months ago

The simplest explanation is that if Israel knew where Hamas is, they would have taken them out before any attack by Hamas. They don't know.

So they kill more than 4000 children? Would they have done the same if the kidnappers were anywhere else in the world? What makes killing over 10,000 civilians a fair trade?

The purpose of this war on Gaza is ethnic cleansing.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It doesn't make it a fair trade. My point is they have no idea who they are targeting, or they would have been doing targeted take downs before the conflict.

Collective punishment is a war crime. Having a 90% death rate being civilians is a war crime. Targeting hospitals, schools, water wells, aid trucks and bakeries is a war crime.

They said so themselves. The intent is ethnic cleansing. They have said as much that the goal is to depopulate the Gaza Strip. They have called Palestinians “human animals”.

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant says following an assessment at the IDF Southern Command in Beersheba.

“We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,” he adds.

That is one of the laziest info graphs I've ever seen. All of this is terrible, bit please redo it for the first few months of each conflict. This graph was made to show the US as saviors.

It's almost like an occupied populace is in itself an inbuilt insurgency for the obvious reasons.

Oddly enough a lesson not learned from WW2.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Oh the lesson was learned. It's just being used to kill the oppressed population.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It was in Paris as well, time makes martyrs of oppressed children.

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

Agreed. Not really the point of the discussion, and also patronizing, but I wish you a good day.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

How exactly was it patronizing?

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Yup, thermobarics make tunnels deathtraps and Israel certainly has the thermobarics we sold them.

Israel’s not using Fuel-Air bombs here. There’s no point. They’re just using a shedload of mk 80 series with guidance systems. Probably the Mk 81s that the US brought back into service to try and reduce collateral damage during the Iraq war.
