Its really not that complicated: 2 million civilians can't be held accountable for a terrorist groups doings.
What do you think Israel should be doing?
I keep seeing this question and I'm in disbelief anyone is actually parroting this in good faith.
Not genocide? Can they not do genocide? There are a million different options to combat terrorism but right wing governments only know how to send in shock troops into civilian populations. Just because these assholes are assholes doesn't mean this is the only option.
So hamas' should just get a free pass?
They were warned to go to the South and most.of them did. Why doesn't Egypt let in the gazans?
Then they were bombed along the way, couldn't take shelter in the south and had to go back.
They were afraid of bombing on the route to safety so they returned to continued bombing.
Makes sense.
It's not a wall of bombs on the border and you're at risk either way.
Preface: I do not know enough of this subject or conflict to speak authoritatively.
If they were told to leave their homes and take a certain path to avoid being bombed, trusted that advice but were bombed on the "safe" path anyway by the very people who told them they would be safe if they took said path, why should they continue to trust whoever told them that?
Furthermore, if there were bombs dropping on and/or around you no matter what you did or who you listened to, simply for existing in the wrong place and at no fault of your own, wouldn't you rather at least be in the "comfort" of your own home?
How do you know this? Is it from the say people who said their was a hospital bombing ? They lie about everything. I'm not saying I know for sure but I am skeptical. It is possible some people were bombed but there are many many people who evacuated to the South
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/14/gaza-civilians-afraid-to-leave-home-after-bombing-of-safe-routes
This is a report relying pal reporting, after the hospital thing I will definitely not take it at face value, and none the less they started a war.
This is not disputed. Why is the default assumption that Palestinians are lying and Israelis are not?
Everyone needs to take a step back and look at their own biases on this issue
Because pals always lie, because all these Arab countries are propaganda regimes. They had hamas spokespeople on CNN and BBC saying things like civilians are were not targeted on 10/7. They tell the most ridiculous lies. Do you you also think North Korea are not liars, do you Believe the North Korean dictator for 18 holes in one at golf?
Great job on stereotyping an entire population of peoples as liars. 👍
And downplaying the loss of innocent lives to boot.
It is "possible" that some were bombed? I guess as long as only some innocent people were bombed everything is ok. After all "many many" were safely uprooted from their homes and evacuated south. Hooray...
I doubt this will sink in but I have to try. There have definitely been innocent lives lost from both sides of this conflict and every one of them is a tragedy. I'm not advocating for either side here because everyone involved in the loss of innocent lives sucks. I don't have a magical solution either so don't bother asking. Innocent people have already, and will continue to die in this conflict. Don't try to make it seem like innocent casualties aren't a big deal.
So you would do nothing and let terrorists get away with it
There's a very wide range of options between "doing nothing" and "intentionally bombing civilians"
They're not intentionally bombing civilians, you are repeating about. Hamas' attacks civilians and hides behind civilians
The answer isn't to indiscriminately just level entire neighborhoods.
I agree, but even a surgical operation would cause civilian deaths. You can't deny that there would be costs to civilians
Yeah, why bother trying to minimize civilian casualties, especially if it sounds like work.
Israel could start with restoring the internationally recognised borders. That’s one war crime down.
By internationally recognized you mean recognized by the Muslim community.
Up until 1967 Egypt controlled gaza and Jordan the west bank and there was no talk of peace, the line has always been there can be no state of Israel in any form. Within the last 20 years pals have been offered states on the 1967 borders and refused. The Oslo accords which included incremental steps to peace led to nothing but terrorism, all the aid pals receive they use for terrorism. They have explicitly unanimously said for decades that they will fight Israel to the death and have not made any offers or concessions to peace and you want to just these Islamic fundamentalist to behave if they let them into Israel? Do you know the history of Lebanon. You are native if you think you can trust hamas', ISIS... Did you not see hamas on TV saying they didn't target civilians in their attacks?
Bruh there is literally a UN resolution calling for Israel's retreat to 1967 borders.
The UN is not the arbitrator of morality.
Before 1967 the arabs refused to accept the state of Israel and launched a war to destroy it in 1967 so they lost the land. The land is not held for them in perpetuity to attack and attack... If they want peace they have to give in peace, if they attack them they should be attacked, it is simple.
No one should be kept in prison but you keep a murderer in prison because of what they've done.
At this point you will say, well what about what Israel did... And I promise you if you go back pals have instigated every conflict. They are unwilling to live in peace with non Muslim, they follow a fascist Islamic ideology and are explicit about it. The jews , who are the natives of the land, have repeatedly shown a willingness to live in peace with arabs, with a pal state and with arabs in the Jewish state. During the Oslo peace negotiations they talked about putting Arab areae of Israel under the PLO and the Israeli arabs absolutely refused, Arabs living in Israel have better quality of life than anywhere in the Arab world, Arab countries are corrupt theocracies, Israel is a liberal democracy , this is why the fascist Muslims hate it, this is what they are talking about when they say 'european colonialsim', that it's not a fascist Muslim theocracy
So since you're a massive moron I don't plan to engage with you much longer, but lemme say this: Netenyahu's election platform is and has been for thirty years not making peace with Palestinians. He's actively sabotaged the Palestinian peace movement over and over to prevent it from happening.
And good job changing the goalposts.
Yeah he won because before him you had leftist prime ministers who offered everything to the pals, have them more autonomy and it only resulted in more terrorism. The pals will fight to the death no matter what, they say so explicitly, they don't want freedom or prosperity they are Islamic fascist and want to destroy Israel , that's it. If they wanted peace and prosperity they've already had every opportunity
The UN proposed partition in 1947, Palestinians refused.
The US proposed a two state solution in 1993, Palestinians refused
What the fuck? What the actual fuck?
1947 is its own mess, but it was Israel (specifically Netenyahu) who called off the Oslo accords.
The Palestinians suspended the talks and never made a counter offer. After that Hamas etc sent suicide bombers and an Israeli terrorist machine gunned a mosque and there's never been a chance of peace since
https://history.state.gov/milestones/1993-2000/oslo
Okay so we need to distinguish between the Oslo accords (which Netenyahu called off in 1996) and the 2000 Camp David summit. You're talking about the latter. With that out of the way, the 2000 Camp David summit deal had very objectionable terms for Palestinians. I can go into the details, but I think we can just take the then-Israeli Minister of Foreign Relations's word for it.
You're right, I was referring to Camp David, and the deal sounds pretty good conpared to today's situation
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/may/23/israel3
It's better than today's situation, but the thing is that nobody could've predicted the situation would get this bad. Also, the thing about accepting a two-state solution is that it's a one-time thing. All proposals so far included considering the conflict ended, so when you accept a Palestinian state with no East Jerusalem, no territorial contiguity (the offer would have it divided into four parts connected by Israeli territory that could be closed off in cases of emergency) and no control over its own airspace or water sources, you're stuck with these things forever.
I have to question the accuracy of this, given that the Israeli PM stated that he wasn't willing to grant Palestinians anything more than symbolic sovereignty over East Jerusalem at the start of the negotiations, and in fact that was one of the main contention points.
Do you believe those are the only two options?
It's a good thing they're very clearly not being held accountable, then.
Don't read the news much do ya?
