    Israel crossed the line from self defense into genocide when they started ruthlessly executing innocent civilians and aid workers. You cannot justify their bullshit.

    Propaganda/Genocide denial/justification removed.

        Do you want to discuss the over 500 incitements of genocide? When it comes to intent, Israel’s intent has been documented more than most

        Since the commencement of our investigative efforts on October 7th, 2023, Law for Palestine has meticulously amassed a compelling body of evidence exposing the proliferation of incitement to violence and genocidal intent perpetrated by Israeli officials and public figures, against Palestinians. Our documentation encompasses over 500 incitements of violence and genocidal incitement, appearing in the forms of social media posts, television interviews, and official statements from Israeli politicians, army personnel, journalists, and other influential personalities.

          Hi and apologies for the late reply - /c/[email protected] moderator @[email protected] removed my comment and gave me a temporary ban for the comment you replied to citing that it was “Pro-Israel propaganda”.

          First off, thank you for posting this link - and no, I’m not interested in discussing them. My point was that users should be held to a higher standard when posting as moderators than the rest of us.

          I will however give a comment on the contents of the cited webpage. I read through the statements from decision makers (These seemed most relevant), and they did (in my personal view) not amount to intent. However, as law4palestine highlights:

          The ultimate adjudication of this matter is contingent upon the determination of a competent court.

          Personally, I want to see a full investigation by the ICJ conducted, and if they do end up with an indictment, those responsible brought to justice.

            I don’t understand how someone can read 22 incitements to genocide by the Minister of Defense, Prime Minister, and President of Israel on top of the hundreds of other incitements by public officials, Knesset members, military personnel, and law enforcement; only to conclude that it does not amount to intent. That doesn’t make sense to me. That’s on top of the ongoing military operations that fit the description of genocide and go against the ICJs orders to prevent a plausible genocide.

            Intent is a critical part of the ICJ case, the court case would not be ongoing if the evidence was not plentiful and credible. The people of Gaza cannot wait years for a verdict.

            I agree with your last paragraph, for the war crimes Hamas has committed too, after an end to the apartheid.

        You simply are not paying attention or sea lioning if you’re demanding sources.

        But for anyone else who may have missed it:

        Israel illegally attacked and killed aid workers in Southern Lebanon:

        https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/07/israel-us-arms-used-strike-killed-lebanon-aid-workers

        Then followed it up by illegally and attacking World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza.

        Your pro-Israel propaganda WILL NOT be tolerated here.

          I’m informed and simply disagree with you. Is that not allowed? Is disagreement always “propaganda?” Do you prefer an echo chamber?

          Israel is not infallible. This is a war, sometimes they get bad Intel, sometimes collateral damage happens, sometimes there’s fog of war…

          In both of those attacks Israel was targeting militants and appears to have hit civilians.
