Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.

Now they're supposed to leave Rafah.

You might ask where Israel thinks Gazans are supposed to go. The answer is- nowhere. They're supposed to die.

I'm sure they wouldn't spare any iron dome missiles if the Palestinians went as high as the radars would pick.

What's the point of war crimes when there's no war consequences?

[-] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

There have never been consequences for Israeli crimes and ethnic cleansing.

Even now there is ethnic cleansing of the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem and Palestinian villages in the West Bank.

If you keep doing the shit we've supported you doing for the last 7 months, that could in fact ruffle some metaphorical feathers.

"Not really though, fellow corporatocracy. Fuck the proles. Pay me and I'll help you genocide coz I'm a career sociopath. Whoop whoop!!"

So my understanding is that committing war crimes doesn’t mean you “get arrested”. It’s that if you lose, you can’t just say it was war. If you had committed war crimes, you would be put to trial.

[-] paddirn@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago

And I’m sure they’ll be punished just as harshly for that war crime as all the others.

Pull out the Sanctions or shut up already Macaroni.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Israel is the gun pointed at Egypt's head over the Suez Canal. For all the bullshit Netanyahu is pulling, too many Europeans learned all the wrong lessons from the Nasser coup and assume a "Greater Israel"

is necessary to maintain commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Egypt is fully under American control already.

Sisi is a puppet that receives billions each year from both America and Europe to surpress his population and kneel for israel. Recently he got another 8 Billion IMF bribe.

I don't think there's any strategy involved in the support of israel other than israel fully owning the majority of politicians.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Egypt is fully under American control already.

I'd say its not, as evidenced by the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The US doesn't even have a military base in Egypt. The closest we've got are in Etrea and Tripoli, with our West African bases getting squeezed out by the recent wave of military coups. Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are fundamental to our control of the region.

I don’t think there’s any strategy involved in the support of israel

Think harder.

pop it on the list

[-] OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago

I'm sure Netnyehu is really dreading the intense finger wagging he's in for.

While calling terrorists everyone who stands for Gaza and sending the police, which mutilated many people under Macron's regime, to interrupt protests.

Classic Macron.

Condemnation is good but action is greater.

[-] bykdd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 months ago

so no war crime until now?

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

No, just another one

[-] Obonga@feddit.de 11 points 3 months ago

How many people need to die in order for the isreali government being satisfied? It is a rethorcial question as it should be clear by now that the answer is "all in Gaza". It is quite the speedrun to become one of the most despised countries.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Oh, look, Macron waving his finger even more energetically.

That's really going sway the Neue Nazi administration in Israel.

[-] Jon_Servo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Good old finger-wagging to wash their hands of atrocities. "Hey man, we told them not to do it."

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Hasn't Russia been abducting children for over two years?

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Well yeah, that's why Russia is under sanctions, and why we're helping Ukraine.

you're not wrong. and Russia is also a bad guy. But so is Israel. And so is North Korea. And so is America. And so is...

The list goes on and on. But this article isn't about Russia, is it? It's about Israel committing war crimes.

You can safely assume that IDF will not care the slightest. The more Palestinians die from being starved and displaced and getting sick, the less bullets they will need.

So another mark on the list? Because I'm pretty sure the rest wasn't 100% ok as well.
