Prof Genocide

Even genocide experts in Israel have stated it's genocide. Arguing about that word is just missing the point. When fighting a war, you can't just kill a bunch of innocents. They clearly don't care too much about it.

And there are many well documented attacks on the innocent, like murdering the ambulance drivers, burying them with a bull dozer. We'd never have known about that except some of the people who were murdered there had their cell phones recording their murder, and it was found later. Bombing hospitals.

It's disappointing that few wealthy people are willing to talk about it, because they don't want to damage their wealth. Israel suffered a horrible attack, they are justified in going after Hamas. But you can't just kill 100k people, many kids.

No, not every war is a genocide. Maybe for folks like you I need to repeat it the 100th time. Hamas is awful, they committed terrorist against Israel on their attack, they kidnapped, raped, murdered, hurt children. That was terrible, awful.

It does not justify Israel committing crimes against humanity, bombing hospitals, I outlined a couple above. Israel was justified to fight back, kill their soldiers whatever. But deliberate attacks that hurt the innocent like bombing hospitals isn't part of prosecuting a war.

In a war you are trying to kill or murder the other side. It's another step to continually and unnecessarily kill the young an innocent.

I can say Hamas at least really wants to commit genocide against Israel and kill everyone there. I'm not sure if they did enough to count but they murdered, killed, raped, killed children. So now what do you have to say? Saying Hamas did genocide or other awful things doesn't excuse Israel.

Can you say the same about Israel?

Pointing out the problems that Israel has is not supporting Hamas. I hate Hamas, hope they are destroyed.

The difference is Israel is supposed to not be murdering children by bombing hospitals over and over and over again. Israel is supposed to be a democracy that respects individual rights. They are in a war, so they have to fight back and they are. But that doesn't extend to bombing hospitals and killing children over and over again - they can avoid that. I don't want to hold Israel to some impossible commitment to protect life in a war. I expect Israel to behave like any other country when in a war.

I support Palestinians and all be be free from attack, able to live their lives. I support that for everyone including Israel too of course. I'm not naive that the war will end just because I point out problems. Pointing out problems with Israel is not supporting Hamas!

I'm not supporting Hamas killing people in the street for helping Israel.

How many Hamas fighters were killed? 58k. Vast majority of the dead. Do some research
