What about the rest of Gaza?

Obonga ,

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.

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

But we have to get the guy out that is hiding under the ground. Everybody must leave so we can find heem. And no one bats an eye......

RamblingPanda ,

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

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.

Hey, that makes him a centrist now doesn't it?

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

mycathas9lives ,

Finger wagging????? They will tug on his pee pee and throw a pahti!

Israel is pretty closely tied to the EU. Their Universities are all part of the Horizon-Program and they are part of the ESC (as is Austraila)

So angering the EU could be a pretty bad move.

The EU has so far stayed pretty silent because

  1. the free-gaza movement has been largely hijacked by radicalist hamas-supporters and terrorists
  2. The EU also has a history with Islamist Terror-Attacks so we pretty much understand the Situation Israel is in

But it sees that the rather careless approach of Nettanyahus Government in regards to Civilians has now pushed the EU over the Edge.

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

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

blazeknave ,

You're right about US policy (when Congress gets it's shit together). I'm referring to the vitriol in the community online.

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.

blazeknave ,

Appreciate your comment. I'm the first to point out using an irrelevant post as a soapbox to distract from other news. I'm pointing out the difference in response from the online community over the past two years.

i don't know which communities you've been hanging out in, but the consensus is that Russia is also fucked up.

NoLifeGaming ,

Condemnation is good but action is greater.

Aceticon ,

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

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

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"

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 western politicians.

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.

Why are we getting "squeezed" out of Egypt and Jordan?...

Because of israel.

We fully control the others yet israel is a rabid attack dog. It's the worst of both worlds. We have to obey them instead of the other way around.

Treczoks ,

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.

agressivelyPassive ,

It's a win-win then? I mean, bullets and bombs are expensive and you can't expect Americans to pay for every genocide!

AWittyUsername ,

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

WhatAmLemmy ,

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!!"

sirboozebum ,

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.

Grandwolf319 ,

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.

slurpyslop ,

pop it on the list

bykdd ,

so no war crime until now?

SkybreakerEngineer ,

No, just another one
