The experts are actually saying that Israel IS infact breaching international law and infact committing genocide. Your buddies in your Righteous Capitalist Jewish Self-Defence via Carpet Bombing Against Fictional Genocide League may say different, to justify Western support for Israel, but the actual experts say different.
Except there are no snipers shooting at kids from 100 meters across the Gaza border. If there was, you could, for example do two things. a) Evacuate the kids. b) Use an Israeli sniper to take him out. What you don't do however is drop a 2000lb JDAM on the suspected building, and the surrounding block, killing 500 civilians in the process, to get to that 1 guy. That is a war crime. When there are
other options, you pursue those other options, instead of mass killing people. I get that your Righteous Capitalist Jewish Self-Defence via Carpet Bombing Against Fictional Genocide League don't agree, but that is exactly why this is a war crime.
That wasn't the intent you were talking about. You were talking about Hamas' intent to sacrifice civilians. That is your speculation. Civilians dying is a direct result of Israeli actions and decisions. Not Hamas.
The creation of Israel itself is a colonial endeavour, so of course anti-colonialism applies. This is also a sectarian conflict that has raged on for over a 100 years. Race, ethnicity, religion, culture and land are the points of conflict and therefore anti-racism also applies.
But that is irrelevant to the questions I asked you.
I asked you two questions and you gave me a non-answer:
a) How is it justified for Israel to kill innocent civilians and children?
b) Do you think Israel was dumb enough to play into your stated Hamas strategy of getting them to kill kids?
You are a guy who posts racist vitriol on this thread and gloats on the deaths of children. I go by international law and actual evidence.
Of course it is happening. There are 15,000+ dead people. Over 30,000 wounded. The imagery of carpet bombing from WW 2 movies you have in your head, with B-52s dropping tons of bombs, is not the only way you can carpet bomb a place. How about if it makes you feel better, we call it indiscriminate bombing instead of carpet bombing? Happy?
