Settlers — Israeli Jews living in the occupied West Bank — and soldiers have killed 51 Palestinians in the West Bank since Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah. At least two villages, Al-Qanub and Wadi Al-Sik, have been entirely depopulated as a result of the violence by Israeli settlers.

You really enjoy using inciting language like „genocidal conquerors“, huh? You are also purposefully mixing the Israeli government and the civilian population. Are you referring to Hamas as „baby slaughtering and murdering rapists“ on the other hand? By your standards you have to extend this to the whole population of Gaza, too.Edit: I posted my reply to a comment from iyaerP falsely - corrected that.
Settlers aren’t the government, they’re just private citizens taking people’s homes from them. This all sucks. We’re all losing. No one is winning when children are dying.
We shouldn’t have to constantly qualify every statement we make when we talk about this. Just a constant stream of tone policing while children are dying.
Just that children are dying because of spiral of hatered and violance, promoted by populism. But its obviously up to everyone if they want to participate.
People here are overwhelmingly anti Israel.
Well yeah, bombing evacuation convoys will do that.
Fuck Hamas and fuck Israel.
Support innocents on both sides
Both sides say the other side did it. Do you already know which one it was? I don’t. Hamas appears to be more likely, but we will see.
Otherwise: I agree.
I think it was the BBC who broke it down with shadow analysis and geolocation to prove it happened where and when they said it did.
Israel has already bombed right next to the border crossing to Egypt to shut it down.
If I have 2 groups and one bombs a border crossing and then someone bombs an evacuation convoy then that is just pattern recognition.
I will allow that there is a chance that it was Hamas, but occams razor my friend
They bombed there to stop the transfer of fuel from tanker trucks.
How is Occam’s razor against Israel in this question?
Got a link to that?
example
So you are ok with Israel blowing up humanitarian aid?
its just so sad. i thought reddit had pretty extreme views, but lemmy seems to be just worse. i guess this is where the crazies went when they got banned from reddit.
and lemmy’s growth will suffer for it.
It’s not extreme to recognize that a US-backed apartheid state is running an extermination campaign against a marginalized group. While a small number of Palestinians are members of Hamas, that doesn’t give Israel the right to commit genocide. Not that they’ve needed “the right” to do so for the past 70 years.
A small part of Germans were Nazis, but all of Germany had to be defeated to stop their terror. How would you have dealt with them?
Hamas are far smaller, obviously, but able to commit just as fucked up atrocities. They actively use the innocent civilians as their meat shield. How to deal with them?
Yes. The terrorists use the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza as an excuse to attack Israel.
Now; If the government of Israel was to stop the horrible treatment of Palestinians by rightwing ‘settler’ provocateurs and its own soldiers, then Hamas (or any other terrorist organisations) would have very little excuse to use Gaza as a base.
They wanted to destroy Israel ever since it exists. Attacking it on the first day after they declared independence. Not accepting any sort of deal, only wanting destruction.
How to deal with people that want to destroy you, never settling for less? Despite getting defeated every time.
What?
Do you think Israel was just empty land no one was using?
If the people who used to live their for generations attacked it the day after Israel was formed…
Doesn’t that just mean they tried to fight off invaders to protect their home?
You’re acting like Israel was somehow the victim for stealing a shit ton of land that was culturally significant to the rightful residents.
If me and my cousins showed up to your house, told you God gave it to us, would you “attack” us to defend your home? Or just go off and live on the street a couple miles away?
Millions of Germans were removed from east Europe after WW2, with 100’000s dieing. Nazis did not come back and terrorise those countries.
Something that happened 80 years ago is absolutely not a valid reason to keep killing your own and the “enemies” people.
Israel was a settler-colonial project from its inception. The people living there had every right to oppose it.
Might makes right?
Yes, opposite it. Look for a solution both sides can agree on. Fighting war for 80 years with the started goal of destroying Israel is not a viable solution.
My friend, that is a very fucking dangerous argument you’re making there.
