With fighting raging around Khan Younis and in the north of Gaza, a video has emerged on social media showing dozens of Palestinian men detained by Israel.

      Ah yes, stripping naked people and keeping them in the cold for hours and hours and then streaming this online is all because of the safety of Israel. How dare I question their sound judgement, right? So international laws don’t apply to Israel either, that’s my friend what I call double standards.

          Atrocities are perpetrated on both sides. That doesn’t excuse either of them nor does it justify committing them.

              That is not true, Israel is an state bound by international law, it must respect human rights, can not do this to anyone.

              Hamas is not an state, can be considered a criminal organization and Israel state can fight it inside law limits. No state can, should not (in theory) carpet bombing civilians, killing thounsands of them, including children, in order to kill some hundreds of criminals.

              Israel is an occupying state, palestinians has the right to rise against the Israel state.

              And finally, why are IDF soldiers killing palestinians in Cisjordania?, Hamas is not there, the attacks did not not come from that place.

              Correct, but if one side fights dirty, the other side has every right to stupe down to that level.

              Ah so you mean to say October 7th was justified then.

          No.

          Just no.

          This reasoning is literally the kind of stuff we hanged Nazis for. Collective punishment is a war crime. Leave the civilians alone.

      War? Don’t wars usually have sovereign nations on each side, fielding actual militaries and such. Looks more like an ethnic cleansing operation to me. By one sovereign nation on an ethnically defined and enforced internal enclave that isn’t even recognized to be a real place by half the world

        The military on one side are a group of cowards hiding behind civilians and under their infrastructure. There are two sides here. The government of Gaza aka terrorist group Hamas vs Israel.

          Israel has yet to even prove the tunnels are in use. All it is right now is a ready built excuse to carpet bomb any urban area in the world. Because they are all riddled with tunnels.

          If the existence of Hamas among Gazans makes them all terrorists then I guess the IDF makes Israel a terrorist state.

          Anything other than that is a double standard.

      And stripping them of clothes? The only POW pictures I ever saw like that came from Abu Ghraib. Probably because it’s a war crime. Nobody is objecting to the control measures.
