Geneva suggestion misinterpretations
Yepp - condemnation it is!
Another day, another disgusting thing done by Israel. And another day other countries governments just don’t seem to give a shit. What the fuck.
What can other countries do? Invade? The US bullies Nato into compliance, the rest of the world can only sit there and be appalled.
The US: “Oh no, more innocents died, that’s sad” sends more bombs
What can other countries do?
Same they do to Russia. Freeze foreign money and ceace all trade
Most of Israel’s trading partners are Nato or Nato aligned. They can’t sanction Israel because they will be sanctioned in turn by the US.
As an American we should sanction the fuck out of Israel. The founders would have revolted by now.
but… but that would be anti-semitic
I’m definitely not equipped to have an answer, but it’s not right.
For those that haven’t seen it yet, here’s the newest Aljazeera video with hard video evidence of israel using Human Shields in Gaza. Even dressing them up as IDF soldiers and forcing them to clear buidlings
I first started following the Israeli-Palestinian conflict twelve years ago and the IDF were using Palestinians as human shields back then (and I believe well before then). While this is nothing new, seeing video evidence of it is so jarring, horrifying, and indefensible it has left me feeling shaken and infuriated at the wanton disregard for human life and international law.
“The most moral army in the world”
IDF: Hamas is terrible; they use human shields!
also IDF:
I swear, if they accuse us of antisemitism for criticizing this move for the umpteenth time, I will checkmate them by saying that real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.
Why is it so easy to excuse Israel for this disgusting thing they’re doing?
real Jews would never, ever, encourage this sort of behavior.
I really wish that were true. I’m a Jew, and I am fully against this genocide and Israel’s hypocrisy in general, but Israel is full of real Jews who absolutely encourage this behavior. It’s sad, demoralizing, and shameful, especially for us “normal” Jews who see it for the evil that it is, but I’m not sure enough of the world realizes how normalized this kind of violence is in Israel. I’ve spent a lot of time there, and the vapid, bloodthirsty hatred for Palestinians is absolutely real, and many many more Jews than you or I would like to believe support these atrocities.
I’m a descendant of Holocaust survivors, with a sizable contingent of family that escaped Europe to Israel, and I frankly won’t be talking to any of them ever again now that I know they happily support genocide.
I found the first part where the guy was digging in the rubble, then later searching the tunnel to be inconclusive. I couldn’t tell who or what was going on.
However, the second part, where the guy is handcuffed in his underwear, surrounded by soldiers, then later on it looks like the same guy being herded through a building… that doesn’t look good. Someone below mentioned a possible prisoner swap. I don’t think prisoner swaps are handled like that.
What proves this footage is really what the article claims it to be? It’s a very specific explanation for what appears quite vague.
I just don’t want to go sharing something we cannot actually verify as true. There’s a lot of other stuff mentioned in the article a lot of which we know to be true, but that isn’t proof of this claim.
What exactly is vague about being naked (mostly) with hands tied behind their back while walking through a building? What explanation do you have for such an event?
Something like this could easily be a simple prisoner transfer. This is one idea.
In general, we don’t know the where, the why, or the who. Movies have worse scenes than this. Nothing is beyond fabrication. Why were they filming and who posted the video? There are myriad possibilities.
There are already many clear-cut reasons to be critical of Israel, but it should still matter what is actually fact and what is fiction, shouldn’t it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSbWuGSGOBo Here’s the video. There’s nothing vague about it.
You’re kidding me right? This is in Arabic for a start. I don’t speak Arabic. It looks on the face of it a vague as before otherwise. Help me out here.
I posted a translated version yesterday. I will link it below. It took a dip in the internet JPEG fryer so quality is not as great anymore.
