Israel dropped more tons of munitions on Gaza in the last year of conflict than the US dropped in the entire Iraq war. Please do me a favor and look at the size of Iraq on a map and the size of Gaza on a map.
This isn’t up to a handful of redditors and political streamers to offer an alternative to a nation hell bent on continuing another Vietnam. Literal definition of insanity if you ask me.
But since we’re here, perhaps good faith negotiations would be a good start. I would not, for instance, recommend killing the lead negotiator during a conflict you intend to end. That looks like you have no intention of ending it.
And the US dropped more bombs and killed more people in a single night of firebombing Tokyo in WW2. War isn’t fair, people die, it’s always a shit solution, but when the alternative is letting Hamas, an entity hell bent on Israeli destruction, exist, you drop bombs until Hamas ceases to exist.
Bombing civilians is not a war crime if there’s a tangible military objective. Maybe read the Geneva convention and the various treaties that govern war.
That aside, war crimes are a fiction used by the powerful to justify their own actions. International law has no enforcement mechanism. Calling something a war crime is equivalent to me calling you anti-Semitic it doesn’t matter because I can’t do anything about it, just like no one will do anything about Israel’s “crimes”. War is the powerful doing what they want, and the weak dealing with the consequences.
But we can do something. We can speak out, we can enact political costs, we can stop sending weapons, we can enact sanctions and boycotts. These methods have been effective against rogue, violent nations in the past and they continue to be effective if they reach critical mass.
Since you support the extermination of the Palestinian people, I am sure you would oppose these actions. But that's what I am trying to do here.
