The fact that all western regimes firmly stand with Israel as it commits crimes against humanity clearly shows that the west never cared about human rights. All the western leaders who've been shedding crocodile tears over Ukraine in the past year and a half finally show their true faces to the world.
Would you give some responsibility to Hamas who uses Palestinians as human shields? Or is it all Israel's fault.
The evacuation order means Israel is ethnically cleansing over 1 million people. Are they all human shields?
This narrative is basically just a hostage scenario. Hamas took a few dozen hostages, so Israel is taking all of Gaza hostage.
And, notably, Israel is the only side actually killing the hostages.
So you would have preferred that Israel had given no warning at all. Just attacked. Interesting. BTW, by human shields I was talking about the Palestinians.
They've also bombed the declared evacuation routes. It's genocidal, and I would prefer Israel not commit genocide.
BTW, Israel is killing both the Palestinian hostages it has captive in Gaza and killing the Israeli hostages that were taken by Hamas.
I swear, Israel could march Palestinians into gas chambers and you'd blame Hamas for making them do it.
Come now. There has been no determination who bombed evacuation routes.
Hamas takes off their uniforms and houses in the same spaces as regular Palestinians. Israel bombs these buildings. Innocent Palestinians die. Popular opinion turns on Israel. They stop, it's happened many times.
You can be as bellicose as you want. Doesn't impress.
Hamas doesn't murder Palestinians. Only Israel does that.
Uh huh, and every single bombing target was one where a confirmed fighter was sighted? Fuck off, they're flattening everything everywhere and now have ordered a million people to evacuate to their deaths while they bulldoze their homes. Ethnic cleansing.
Hamas does murder Palestinians. Happens all the time. What do you think human shields are for?
No, can't say that every target is right, Israelis use intel to establish targets, and things go wrong. But, it doesn't make much sense to drop a bomb without a good idea there's a reason.
Two things while your carrying all this water. Figure out who in the end you're carrying it for and realize that the bad part hasn't begun yet. Take a walk in everybody's shoes.
Those are people murdered by Israel. This is abuser mentality. "Look what you made me do!"
The reason before was to terrorize/subdue the population into submission, and now the reason is to force them to flee or die or both.
Take a walk in a Palestinian's shoes who lives under terror from the sky and falls asleep to the buzzing of survelience drones every night. Who barely has enough to eat or enough to wear. Who has to spend hours every day going through security checkpoints. Who has no hope of anything ever getting better. Who has a life expectancy of 40. Who gets their knees blown out by a sniper for marching.
This is what Israel does. And yes, the bad part is only just beginning. When the ground invasion starts the sea will run red with blood, because this is genocide. The European settlers are finally killing off the native population to steal their land. Truly the 51st state.
And then Hezbollah will get involved. And then the US. And then Iran. And then Russia. And then NATO. And then it's WW3. Yay

NO it isn't. Its a fact.
Israel is the occupying force committing genocide, the fact that you feel the need to try to do bothsideism here really says a lot about you as a person.
How is Hamas using human shields against airstrikes?
Israel is not an occupying force. You can demean me, but I see by your no answer that in your mind Hamas bears no responsibility
Are you an ignoramus or a liar? https://press.un.org/en/2016/sc12657.doc.htm
Israel doesn't occupy Gaza. That's a fact. You don't invade something you occupy.
I'm not IN your house, I just surround your house, prevent you from leaving, can cut off your power, water and food at will.
Most of Palestine lives off world aid, including the US. They run out of supplies when thing like this happen.
Mainly because all the productive land was taken from them.
The few farms and fisheries in Gaza can't produce enough for 2 million people. Especially since they aren't allowed to mechanize their agriculture, and are limited in maritime range for fishing.
And forget the possibility of trade ports...
Geopolitics Understander has logged on.
ok an ignoramus then
Oh it tares my heart that you call me names. That'll show me.
I'm not calling you names, I'm starting a plain fact that you are an ignorant person. That's what the word ignoramus means. Feel free to educate yourself https://www.palestineportal.org/learn-teach/israelpalestine-the-basics/maps/maps-loss-of-land/
How exactly is Hamas using human shields in airstrikes?
Are they telling people to stand still while the bombs drop?
