Wow again that is just fucking insane on so many levels.
In Iraq and Afghanistan, while obviously many fuck ups and a decent number of 'kill em all!' insane shit was directly perpetrated by US and Coalition forces...
They had fucking rules of engagement they had to follow, and the military actually prosecuted a good amount of violations of this.
An IDF tank firing a fucking tank round into a building, in an urban area full of civilians, where they knew the hostages were, and could have potentially killed many more non combatants if the building collapsed?
I am basically at a loss for words.
The most intense and intensely criticized fighting of the Iraq War 2 may be argued to have been Fallujah. While I think dropping leaflets everywhere telling civillians 'leave or we will probably kill you in a week' is uh, fucking bad,... at least the US Mil, like, you know, gave warning? And people were not literally penned in on all sides and actually /could/ leave?
They, the IDF, truly do not give a fuck. Even a hostage rescue mission apparently opens with what is likely a war crime, firing a tank shell into the building, in that context.
Someone pull up Edwin Star and email me a flask of bourbon, jesus fucking christ.
Also, Hamas was offering prisoner exchanges from day 1. Like that was the whole point of Oct 7. When they released Yochefed Lifschidtz because they didn't have the means to give her medical care, the IOF refused to take her back multiple times- and her saying she was treated basically well was why, during the later prisoner exchanges, they didn't allow most of them to speak to press.
The hostages are an extremely obvious pretext and the families of the hostages are reportedly furious about it
Those circumstances and rhetoric by Israeli cabinet members from the last two months make label of genocide a very credible and astute assertion.
Up until this point I had only had seen a few clips of Sam Seder basically summarizing the big picture... it is truly astounding when learning the details.
