Israeli warplanes resumed pounding Gaza, Palestinian civilians fled for shelter and rocket sirens blared in southern Israel on Friday as war resumed after a week-old truce ran out with no deal to extend it.
Israel actually have thousands of “prisoners”, many of which are being held indefinitely without charges or trial. Usually when someone is being held against their will, without reason we call them a hostage. Israel has abducted more Palestinians during the “truce” than they have released. Israel is also seemingly responsible for many of the deaths of Israeli civilians on the 7th of October, including shooting people exiting homes in kibbutzim at the orders of the army.If you want to start sharing graphic, gory, NSFL videos, I have countless videos of Palestinian children without limbs, intact skulls, you name it. No one here is defending Hamas killing civilians. But they difference is that unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.

That’s war; stay belligerent after defeat, be subjected to your enemy’s military courts. They still get more due process than the hostages did.

Friendly fire exists therefore terrorism? Please.

You are attempting to justify Hamas when you imply Israel is the greater evil, calling them the terrorists.

That’s what happens when you start a war, civilians die as collateral damage. Responding to an organized attack by a hostile government is not terrorism. Not responding is foolish.
No, that’s a war crime. Military courts are only allowed to do the minimal required to maintain order against things like looting. And they must return the justice system to local hands as soon as possible.
54 years is a war crime when that measurement is supposed to be in months at the most.

While the enemy remains belligerent? It’s clearly not yet possible. Palestine has been trying to kill the Jews for at least 70 years and have yet to pacify themselves. That’s what needs to happen for them to have autonomy for such things.
You’re either in control or you’re not. You don’t get to have so much control that you can arrest people but then throw your hands up and say it’s a war zone.
And don’t act like Israel’s hands are clean. They used terrorism to get rid of the British troops and pursue the original Nakba. White washing that with some “they just hate us” propaganda is bullshit.
So you have a choice. It’s either a war crime or Apartheid. You’re either in control or you’re not.
Edit- I’m sorry I forgot the citation for you. It’s called the Geneva Convention.
You’re either in control or you’re not. You don’t get to have so much control that you can arrest people but then throw your hands up and say it’s a war zone.
The world isn’t as binary as you seem to think it is. Clearly they are doing both, so they can. Control ebbs and flows and can be gained and lost, and can be at values other than 100% or 0%.
And don’t act like Israel’s hands are clean.
I’m not. There’s plenty of blood on everyone’s hands in a conflict that has gone on this long. Google irgun to see the worst of it. Still, I find Israel to be by far the more sympathetic party. They haven’t behaved that way since the Jews became a nation and Israel’s civil rights record is far better than those who oppose them today.
They used terrorism to get rid of the British troops
White washing that with some “they just hate us” propaganda is bullshit.
They are literally murdering Israeli civlians en masse. If it were peaceful hate there would be no war.
So you have a choice. It’s either a war crime …
Still waiting on citations that Israel’s military courts count as a war crime.
or Apartheid.
Such definitions pervert the meaning of Apartheid, and depend on treating a belligerent national group like an ethnic group. This is nothing like South Africa; Arabs are 20% of Israeli citizens and are not subject to the same restrictions as the hostile Arab nations trying to kill them.
You might be interested in this video regarding how the UN declaring Israel an Apartheid state went down.
Ah yes 1948. Wasn’t there another war, just a few years earlier where we all determined that war wasn’t a reason to clear ethic populations off of land? Where we all decided that ethno states were bad?
Or was it only when the Germans did it? And I don’t care that there Palestinians also attacked the British. I’m only refuting the idea that Israelis are purely victims.
And in international law there is no 50%. Especially not for Fifty Four Years.
And you really, really don’t want to get into the meeting civilians en masse argument. Far more Palestinian civilians have been murdered by a supposedly professional military and Israeli settlers.
You also don’t get to conflate citizenship with rule. You don’t have to be a citizen to under their rule. Israel rules over 7 million Palestinians. That’s 50%.
Wasn’t there another war, just a few years earlier where we all determined that war wasn’t a reason to clear ethic populations off of land? Where we all decided that ethno states were bad?
Can’t attack an ethnostate that’s trying to kill you, that makes you as bad as Nazis!
Why can’t they just let those nice Palestinians murder them and drive them into the sea without consequence?
I’m only refuting the idea that Israelis are purely victims.
Never made that claim, Hoss. I’m pointing out who the terrorists are and what caused this chapter of the conflict.

Killed, yes. Murdered, no. Collateral damage in warfare/retaliation for violent attacks by a belligerent nation.
You also don’t get to conflate citizenship with rule. You don’t have to be a citizen to under their rule. Israel rules over 7 million Palestinians. That’s 50%.
Yes, they have administrative control over a hostile belligerent nation that is still trying to kill them after being overwhelmingly defeated time and time again. They refuse to concede and portray themselves as the victims, for some reason people like yourself find it compelling.
Lmao Lemmy deleted my response so this is going to be shorter. (Apparently hitting the vote arrows reloads the page)
The source is the Geneva Convention. It makes statements like, “administrative control over a hostile belligerent” and “Collateral damage in warfare/retaliation” admissions of war crimes, not arguments. We literally hung Nazis for killing civilians as retaliation.
And the entire supposition of having to genocide them first is both Nazis propaganda (since you want to directly reference them) and bullshit. Palestinians have been very clear that they want the 1969 borders and Israel to stop their occupation.

Arabs also used unlawful violence against the British.
…said land losses were the result of declaring war on Israel in '48 and losing.
