    The fact that all western regimes firmly stand with Israel as it commits crimes against humanity clearly shows that the west never cared about human rights. All the western leaders who’ve been shedding crocodile tears over Ukraine in the past year and a half finally show their true faces to the world.

      Would you give some responsibility to Hamas who uses Palestinians as human shields? Or is it all Israel’s fault.

        The evacuation order means Israel is ethnically cleansing over 1 million people. Are they all human shields?

        This narrative is basically just a hostage scenario. Hamas took a few dozen hostages, so Israel is taking all of Gaza hostage.

        And, notably, Israel is the only side actually killing the hostages.

          So you would have preferred that Israel had given no warning at all. Just attacked. Interesting. BTW, by human shields I was talking about the Palestinians.

            They’ve also bombed the declared evacuation routes. It’s genocidal, and I would prefer Israel not commit genocide.

            BTW, Israel is killing both the Palestinian hostages it has captive in Gaza and killing the Israeli hostages that were taken by Hamas.

            I swear, Israel could march Palestinians into gas chambers and you’d blame Hamas for making them do it.

              Come now. There has been no determination who bombed evacuation routes.

              Hamas takes off their uniforms and houses in the same spaces as regular Palestinians. Israel bombs these buildings. Innocent Palestinians die. Popular opinion turns on Israel. They stop, it’s happened many times.

              You can be as bellicose as you want. Doesn’t impress.

                Come now. There has been no determination who bombed evacuation routes.

                Hamas doesn’t murder Palestinians. Only Israel does that.

                Hamas takes off their uniforms and houses in the same spaces as regular Palestinians.

                Uh huh, and every single bombing target was one where a confirmed fighter was sighted? Fuck off, they’re flattening everything everywhere and now have ordered a million people to evacuate to their deaths while they bulldoze their homes. Ethnic cleansing.

                  Hamas does murder Palestinians. Happens all the time. What do you think human shields are for?

                  No, can’t say that every target is right, Israelis use intel to establish targets, and things go wrong. But, it doesn’t make much sense to drop a bomb without a good idea there’s a reason.

                  Two things while your carrying all this water. Figure out who in the end you’re carrying it for and realize that the bad part hasn’t begun yet. Take a walk in everybody’s shoes.

        Israel is the occupying force committing genocide, the fact that you feel the need to try to do bothsideism here really says a lot about you as a person.

        How exactly is Hamas using human shields in airstrikes?

        Are they telling people to stand still while the bombs drop?

    But Palestinians aren’t rich or light skinned enough for our international law-abiding, democratic, humanitarian government to consider fully human so it’s all good

      If they’re confirmed deaths then absolutely. There’s no way the Palestinians have been able to dig through all of the ruins caused by Israeli attacks.

      • They addressed this in the Hamas press conference - not only do they not have enough personnel to answer all the calls for help they were getting from people trapped in the rubble, but they don’t have the equipment to move the rubble, and also it keeps getting bombed so they wouldn’t even be able to do much even if they had the people and equipment.

      34 Palestinian children were killed by apartheid Israel this year before the Hamas action.

      I’m 100% convinced that the higher number 40 was deliberately chosen by Israeli propagandists because of that.

      “They kill more children than we do, so obviously we’re the good guys”
