Israeli forces returned fire, including with airstrikes, he said. An Israeli special forces commander was killed during the operation, a police statement said.
Lifehack to be a terrorist with no retaliation. If you attack out of a city or protected are like a hospital you literally are free to keep attacking indiscriminately with no repercussion because terminally online folk will protect that.
Have they considered not holding hostages which is 100% violation of international law and under no circumstances justified or tolerated in international law? Have they tried not supporting the terrorist with widespread popular support? Have they tried not executing lgbt people?
I know right? I’ve always thought calling it genocide a flagrant exxageration. When I think of genocide, it comes to mind images of some evil dictator using poison gas in a population, chemical weapons, an atomic bomb, etc.
To be a true genocide, it must be an indiscriminate elimination of the population of a nation or an ethnicity. It’s not the case of Isreal, which is targeting specifically the militants of Hamas. Just because there are civilian colateral damage in the process does not make it a genocide automatically, because the civilians are not what the IDF is after. They’re after Hamas militants. Gaza has a very high population density, and the Hamas militants don’t use any uniform to differentiate them from the civilians. They do it on purpose to make the IDF hesitant, and get them by surprise. They hide themselves in buildings that they know the IDF would be hesitant to attack, like hospitals, schools and mosques. They play dirty, and then cry genocide when the IDF respond to their missiles sent to Israel’s territory.

That’s just lack of education on your part, though. Neither the Cambodian Genocide nor the Rwandan Genocide would be a genocide according to you, but in reality these were two of the worst genocides in the last 50 years.
Come to think of it, neither would the Bosnian Genocide according to you, because it mainly targeted males for execution.
then cry genocide
The people who are “crying genocide” are those of us in the international community who know what a geenocide is, including experts in international law.
If Israel really wanted the destruction of all Gazans, they’d not send their soldiers to a prolonged war. They’d rather send their own missiles and everything would be destroyed in seconds. They have that capability, but they didn’t use it. If it’s really a genocide as you suggest, it’s the dumbest one of all time, because they’re risking their soldiers when they can attack safely and decisively from a distance.
It’s possible that they are not flagrantly killing civilians in that manner but are just looking the other way more than they might normally do because they are Palestinians and care less about collateral damage due to race.
Dictionary definition: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.”
Great news. Not sure if genocide of the Gaza population is necessary for that.
It is not.
This article doesn’t mention if anyone was killed in the raid, Hamas or civilians.
94 dead Palestinians, including children.
Just casually bombing city areas jfc
If they aren’t human shields then they’re human bait. Or as my household calls it, a war crime going unpunished.

Holocaust? Wasn’t ‘genocide’ drastic enough anymore?

I’m glad you’re the UN with the internationally agreed definition.
Oh. Wait.
