While arguing that UN reports condemning Hamas are wrong.
I know you love your anti-semite woman working for the Dictators council but that doesn't make her goals any less fucked up.
That's a war, not a genocide against a giant concentration camp.
Yemen didn't slaughter 20,000 women and children, did they?
You know you're doing well when the countries left you can compare with are Yemen, Iran or North Korea.
Israel prefers to bomb them, destroy their health care and then starve them to death.
Is that better or worse than the nazis?
But the rest of the government also supports the genocide.
You need to remove all zionists from power now.
That's more of your apartheid beliefs, where you argue that only Israelis have the right to self defence, not Palestinians living under an illegal occupation.
Neither side should ever target civilians, like trying to starve them to death, of course.
Its an illegal occupation, Palestinians have the right to self defence agains the Israeli military.
Israel, as the occupying power, doesn't have the right to self defence, they are allowed to maintain order but also are duty bound to feed them.
Not starve them to death.
Yet another war crime you back, like apartheid, the occupation and genocide.
I fully support investigations based off all UN reports.
Its you that shits bricks when we discuss the UN reports saying the occupation is illegal, Israel is apartheid and Israel is committing genocide.
Just like you do when we say Israel refuses to abide by the UNSC ceasefire resolution.
Israel rocked by largest protests since war began as Netanyahu faces growing pressure
Thousands of people took to the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem over the weekend in the largest protests Israel has seen since the start of the war against Hamas, a significant challenge to the increasingly embattled leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Demonstrators are angry at Netanyahu and his government for not having secured the release of all the hostages taken captive during the October 7 terror attack. While 105 people were released during a temporary truce last year, another 130 that were kidnapped are either dead or still being held by Hamas and other militant groups.
Banners at the protests called on the Prime Minister to resign and for Israel to hold new elections.
“You’ve failed,” one poster read. “Impeachment now,” read another.
Netanyahu has said that the goals of the current war against Hamas are to bring back the hostages, destroy Hamas and remake Gaza so that no militant group can ever carry out the type of attack that Israel suffered last year, in which about 1,200 people were killed. But the families of the hostages and demonstrators that came out over the weekend believe the Israeli government should be more focused on hostage retrieval than any military or security objectives.
Aviva Siegel, one of 17 hostages released by Hamas on the third night of the temporary truce in November, called on Israeli authorities to “take responsibility” and put more effort into releasing her husband, who remains in Gaza, and other hostages held by Hamas and other militant groups in the strip.
“We are dying inside here,” Siegel, 62, said at a Saturday rally in Tel Aviv.
Speaking to crowds in Jerusalem on Sunday, former Israeli prime minister and current opposition leader Yair Lapid said the government was ignoring the existence of the families of hostages.
“They stood outside the Kirya (the Israel Defense Forces headquarters in Tel Aviv), screamed their souls out, and nobody heard. They waved signs and no one saw,” Lapid said.
Sunday’s demonstration outside the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in Jerusalem was dispersed by force, but protesters appear to be readying themselves for more protests. Dozens of people were camped at tents outside the Knesset on Monday, and some vowed to stay there until Wednesday, when lawmakers head home for spring recess.
The protests appear have brought back to the fore deep societal divisions in Israel papered over by the initial reaction to the events of October 7. The months before the attack saw hundreds of thousands of Israelis participate in repeated demonstrations against reforms proposed by Netanyahu’s government that critics said weakened the country’s judiciary and eroded its systems of checks and balances.
Israelis of all political stripes, however, united in horror when details emerged of a terror attack in which young people attending a music festival and families living on kibbutzim were slaughtered or dragged to Gaza against their will.
Reservists from diverse backgrounds reported for duty as the military embarked on an unprecedented mobilization of 300,000 troops ahead of the incursion into Gaza, while Netanyahu’s government, the most right-wing in Israel’s history, put aside its disagreements with opposition politicians such as Benny Gantz to form a united war cabinet.
After nearly six months of war, however, that unity has worn thin. Netanyahu, who on Sunday underwent a hernia operation, faces pressure both from the left for not doing enough to bring home the hostages and a possible rebellion on his right flank over exemptions from mandatory military service enjoyed by Israel’s ultra-Orthodox community, a longtime flashpoint in Israeli politics. The Israeli Supreme Court last week ordered the government to stop subsidizing Jewish religious seminaries whose students defied service orders.
And then there’s international pressure and outrage over the way Israel has pursued a war that has seen upwards of 32,000 dead, more than a million people displaced and a manmade famine looming over Gaza.
Israel says it is abiding by international law and accused Hamas of treating Gazans like human shields, accusing the group of using facilities such as the Al-Shifa hospital complex to, in the words of the IDF, “conduct and promote terrorist activity.” Hamas has denied those claims.
But the staggering casualty figures and scenes of devastation across Gaza have unsettled even Israel’s most ardent supporters, including the United States. Washington has in recent weeks been attempting to get Israel to call off a ground incursion into Rafah, a city on Gaza’s border with Egypt where more than 1.3 million people — more than half of the enclave’s population — are seeking refuge from the fighting.
The US and Israel are set to hold a virtual meeting on Rafah today, a US official told CNN. The two sides working toward holding an in-person meeting at a later date, the official said.

Yup, biggest protests against Netanyahu ever.
So what does he do?
He attacks the Iranian embassy in Syria to try to start a war as a distraction.
Got it.
You can't be bothered to pay attention at all if it doesn't parrot your worldview.
It is an excellent example of people not getting the point of that comic, yes.
But that's inevitable with art.
What exactly do you think I'm ignoring here, valcazar?
Your fixation on what you think my views on ceasefire are?
The current news; the attack on Iran's embassy, mass protests in Israel, attack on international NGO workers or the debate on how long Biden will pretend he's not going to support an attack on Rafah and send an extra $14 billion in bombs designed to hit civilians in the face of the UN saying its genocide?
Are we ignoring the destruction of 30% of Gaza's health care through the Shifa hospital, and the evidence of war crimes there?
Or do you still think I'm not being pragmatic?
Ok, so you're not a fine arts prof.
You have a completely different standard when it comes to Israel. On most issues you are a leftist, progressive liberal, but when it comes to Netanyahoo, anything goes. I'm waiting for you to book your next colonoscopy at Al Shifa Hospital, or for you to claim the World Central Kitchen crew were Hamas sympathizers , because for you, Israel can do no wrong.
Is this the same UN who elected Iran to the "United Nations Commission on the Status of Women"
That UN? Iran.
Twenty-nine members of the United Nations Economic and Social Council voted to expel the Islamic Republic of Iran from the Commission on the Status of Women. Eight opposed the move and 16 abstained
They got in, and it wasn't even unanimous to kick them out.
But hey if Hamas gets their way and exterminate the Jews from River to Sea [which according to some terbites wouldn't genocide I guess in much the same way Iran is a supporter of women] then they can increase the status of women by erm treating them like shit the way Iran does, I assume after they kill every homosexual they get their hands on as they cleanse the region.
Yeah I long long ago have 0 fucks to give about what the UN says about anything. Anyone who takes them as a moral authority is clown shoes who is just desperately clinging onto anyone who agrees with them. Much like pointing to the failed state of South Africa who critisized Israel when they arn't busy raping 4 year olds to cure their AIDS.

Some mighty fine friends Hamas has there.
I think if a bunch of baby rapers and women abusers thought badly of me, I'd take it as a point of pride, but considering what Hamas and their supporters want to do to Israel, one should not be surprised.
Complaining about how to some people Israel can do no wrong when these people
Stay completely silence on Burma, Syria, Western Africa, Sudan and everywhere else where maternal fornicators die, including the shit Hamas did a few months are specifically targeting civilians for hostage taking and killing starting off this round of death [which Hamas actually knew would happen and wanted] but when Israel causes collateral damage trying to root out maternal fornicators hiding behind their own people, they get all Reverend Helen Lovejoy and what about the children. Maybe Hamas should have thought about that before they attacked huh?
Also the same people who claim every dead person is genocide but cheer on river to sea progrom [spelled right, look it up] to murder the Jewish population in the middle east.
And yet when this is pointed out, they keep at it. Fucking hate mongers. Only hate can blind someone that much... well I suppose retardation can as well but I'll be nice.
Hypocrite city over here.
Also Israel is the leftist progressive liberal place in the middle east with a functioning democracy complete with arab voters, legal homosexuality, women treated as person, and you know, not trying to exterminate a people from river to sea dispute the lies you and your filth allies spew. Are they perfect, no, but they are doing pretty well considering the neighbourhood they are in and the sorts of threats they are under.
What's next, having Paul Bernardo lead up a commission on ending violence against women? Lizzo writing a white paper on ending obesity?
That UN? Iran.

No proof of that. That is simply your speculation/opinion, which you've admitted is biased. You cannot prove that that is what they'd do.
Because they want their hostages back. And I don't think that they're telling Net to accomplish that by accepting Hamas' terms and granting all Palestinians Israeli citizenship.

Netanyahu proved that they will be returned if there is a ceasefire already.
Instead he chose to drop US 2000 lb bombs on them.
Said by someone who said Canadian parents were responsible for their kid being blown up, not Hamas who set the bomb.
