    Bit of a stretch to imply a genocide….

    "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."

    Horrible that people are dying, also horrible that the people of Palestine are being brutally and militarily oppressed by Hamas. The same Hamas that was deliberately trying to incite a response like this….

    Edit: wish the world was more black and white and I didn't have to worry that donating to causes like this would just go to propping up the same group that is oppressing them in the first place…..

      queries occurrence of / intent to commit genocide
      provides definition of genocide that aligns precisely with what is occurring

      Bruh it doesn’t matter if you're a zionist or antisemite, there's not even a chance one can truly believe Israel does not intend to entirely wipe out the Palestinian state using this as a convenient excuse (you would do this too given the ideological objectives in that position).

      All involved, including those supporting and funding either side, are or are aiding and abetting terrorists. The notion that conflict of any kind - the act of taking a single human life - can ever be justified is disgusting.

      It's 2024 and we remain divided over the stupidest shit that has no role in propagating human existence. We live in post-abundance and need to get the (profanity) over any concept that difference should arise conflict or any other mechanism to absolve that reality; difference is inherent and part of a polarised, entire conscious existence. No degree of ostensible suffering observed should ever entice participation in or support of murder - intervention under the façade (whether believed in the mind of the intervener or not) is no better than instigation itself.

        Israel can genocide Gaza within days, they literally control the water ….

        They don't want to destroy them though, hence trying to kill HAMAS not Palestine.

        Ever wonder why the death count isn't… hundreds of thousands or MILLIONS ?

        Isreal are so big and bad yet so stupid and incompetent that they arent just carpet bombing the place, turning off the water, or doing 100 other things that a state would do if aiming for genocide.

          Israel did cut off water. They also cut food, electricity, medical supplies and fuel.

                @mr_alligator: Israel didn't start this war and they weren't the ones who kept rejecting every single two state solution and kept breaking every single peace/ceasefire agreement.

                "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations."

                "The Israelis are mistaken if they think we do not have an alternative to negotiations. By Allah I swear they are wrong. The Palestinian people are prepared to sacrifice until either the last boy and the last girl raise the Palestinian flag."

                "The PLO plans to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian State. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion; Jews won't want to live among us. I have no use for Jews. They are and remain Jews. We now need all the help we can get from you in our battle for a united Palestine under Arab rule."

                "We will not bend or fail until the blood of every last Jew from the youngest child to the oldest elder is spilt to redeem our land."

                ~ Yasser Arafat, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient

        • +8

          Not sure where the implication exists that the persons controlling the Israeli state are 'stupid and incompetent' - the reality is decisively opposite.

          Your point is confusing. The US can nuke a large majority of opposing defensive establishments globally, so why don't they? Besides the obvious MAD implications, it's just not a good look; how can a global actor appear to be 'good' where it conducts harmful actions in the light without some semblance of retaliatory justification? Simply, it can't.

          How exactly would a nation of ostensible terrorists garner support and funding where it openly carpet bombed, carried out interference, assassinated interlopers, or intentionally executed allied assistants to remove any chance that truth be observed? It wouldn't. Where Israel openly 'invaded' Palestine (and without justifications of responsive measures as against Hamas [or whatever new guerrilla group they manage to antagonise]), the West could not in good conscience support such action. Rather, a coordinated approach founded in 'defensive' implications and 'resisting' the terrorist threat of Hamas is a suitable guise to present to the world; this not only permits Israeli actions to continue unchecked, but for you and me to accept it in our heads and for the support of global governments to continue trickling in (no doubt for future gifts in the region, whether defence bases, intelligence, contracted cooperation, or any other agreement that is most certainly happening behind the scenes).

          Despite its claim of and apparent insignificance as a nation state, Israel operates one of the most systemic propaganda machines that competes with the likes of the US / Russia / China. That is not to say they are the 'bad guys' - there are none. Israel is simply good at what they do, so of course they should continue in kind to further their objectives.

          The reality is that all links back to the fruitless pursuit of conflict; that conflict has seemingly become unavoidable (bar any 3P intervention by an entity capable of global control, which we are yet to experience). That alone, however, does not mean we should accept or endorer such actions from any individual, group, state, or any other entity - recognising the absurdity of this does not mean dismissing the actuality of today. While it is true that 'that's the world we live in,' picking a side and touting their cause is just as harmful as being directly involved. All is a matter of perspective, and I am certain each side in this conflict believes that what they fight for is in earnest pursuit of justice. Intent and perspective matter for our understanding, but belief in righteous action does not make such action so.

            @Justice Edelman: "Your point is confusing. The US can nuke a large majority of opposing defensive establishments globally, so why don't they?

            This analogy is flawed. The US doesn't just nuke it's opponents because both parties would lose out in the conflict. It's enemies also do not pose an immediate existential threat to the US. There's no reason for the US to fire the first nuke if it's enemies are not posturing to fire it first. It is certainly not because "firing the first nuke would make the US look like the bad guy"

            Israel has been under threat from hostile actors like Hamas in the region for decades who have never stopped firing rockets indiscriminately into Israel's city centres and not at military objectives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_Palestinian_rocket_at… .

        When you've been surrounded by terrorist infested neighbouring countries/nation-states all your life, hellbent on murdering you and your countrymen, then fair enough to come and talk.

        Otherwise best to stay in your own lane rather than just play pretend don't you think.

        • +1

          Unfortunately both sides of my family have lived in occupied countries for, inbetween them, an average of ~400 years. I can see the same hurt in their hearts that I hear in your words. I would wish that on no one, and am sorry if you or your people have similarly suffered.

          That does not absolve the reality of conflict being futile. Conflict is rooted in division over ideologies quite literally manifested to divide (i.e. religion; governmental doctrine; economic policy; class; caste; ethnographic distribution; culture; dogs vs cats [all are just as silly, and holding onto historic or familial affiliations or belief systems in the name of division is absolutely inane]). Single unity of humanity shoukd be the unbridled goal of our generations. That does not mean forced same belief, but entire acceptance and amelioration of hostility where beliefs are not shared. It matters not whether saying that is 'naive' or that it 'simply won't happen' - you do not set goals simply so you meet them; similarly, the objective of global unification across any historic or present (apparent) division MUST be the sole reach for humanity until it is no more.

              @dins: Hey man, fair enough. I'm not representing to be boots on ground nor subject to confidential comms, so I really am uninformed (just like any member of the public who is informed by any third party).

              What I will represent and stand by is this: no conflict is or ever can be justified, under any circumstances, in any event, for absolutely any reason whatsoever. One only need stop thinking to allow this truth to appear, along with many others that I, too, never understood before being fortunate enough to stop thinking and start believing.

              • @Justice Edelman: So in short you choose to be detached from reality.

          According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, more bombs were dropped on Gaza, which is half the size of Canberra, than all the bombs dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London combined during WW2.
          The collective destructive power of these bombs are multiples of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

            @Xizo: Quick maths multiples (more than 1) let's be generous and say ONLY 2 with an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima x2 =280,000 people

            Vs 34,900 as of May… as dins said below

            280,000 VS 35,000………

            In that case I guess you agree they have done an exemplary job when it comes to minimising civilian deaths right?

          • @Xizo: So they got all of Hamas, or still need some more yet?

        • +2

          Israel probably would if it wouldn't result in them being ostracised from most of the world. They're practically going as close as they can to wiping them out without it, dropping more bombs than have been seen since WW2 on a civilian population.

                    Poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) between May 26 and June 1, found that:

                    • Overall support for Hamas in the Palestinian territories stood at 40%, a six-point increase from the previous survey three months ago. Only some 20% support the Fatah.

                    • 46% of Gazans and 71% in the West Bank want Hamas to remain in power after the war.

                    • Support for armed struggle is also on the rise. Armed struggle is considered by 54% to be the preferred option to end Israeli rule and establish a Palestinian state, while only a quarter chose negotiations, and 16% opted for “nonviolent resistance.”

                    • For the third time since October 7, we asked the respondents in this poll what they thought of Hamas’ decision to launch the October the 7th offensive. Two thirds, compared to 71% in March 2024 and 72% in December 2023, say it was correct.

                @dins: Israel's current Minister of National Security (equivalent to Australia's Department of Home Affairs) Itamar Ben-Gvir was convicted for supporting a terrorist organisation; the militant Kach party of Meir Kahane which he had also been a youth leader of.

                He also hung a poster of Baruch Goldstein (a follower of Kahane responsible for killing 29 Palestinian civilians and injuring another 125 in the middle of prayers) in his living room.

                Essentially, it's if Fraser Anning led Home Affairs before it got split after the 2022 election across multiple ministers.

                Their views are indeed extreme but given the fact that any of the two parties exiting from the current government would lead to its collapse unless new partners are found, they aren't exactly insignificant.

                They have been polling a combined 15% as of last month which would win them 18 seats; slightly more than the primary opposition party National Unity at 17 seats and slightly less than the leading government party Likud at 19 seats.

                            While the 1988 Hamas Charter was widely criticized for its antisemitism, the 2017 document stated that Hamas' fight was not with Jews because of their religion, but with the Zionist project that expelled Palestinians from their homes..

                            While there are plenty of issues with hamas, you ignore the daily terrorism and violence perpetrated by Israel in the oppression of the Palestinians. Plenty of Israeli politicians and civilians have expressed their sentiments to wipe out Palestinians in one way or another. They abduct, rape, torture and kill Palestinians with impunity. They have been photographed using Palestinians as human shields. Almost everything Israel accuses the Palestinians of, IDF have perpetrated themselves. Yet you still see them as the good guys?

                              @Duck Mode: If you actually believe that nonsense then I'm sure you also believe that Hamas and Gazans only went after the "Zionists" and not "Jews" on Oct 7th right?

                              C'mon now.

                              Best way to put it is that if Hamas and co lay down their arms and the Palestinians genuinely wanted peace and a two state solution there would be peace and two states.

                              On the other hand if Israel was to lay down their arms and genuinely wanted peace and a two state solution, in a few months Israel would be no more.

                              • @dins: You think Palestinians should capitulate to the whims of the state trying to eliminate and abuse them, but you think it's preposterous for Israel to do the same?

                                Oct 7th was awful, but stop acting like things started there.

                                  @Duck Mode: I think the Palestinians should stop falling prey to radical Islam and Islamic terror groups and work towards enriching their lives on this planet as opposed to some afterlife.

                                  There are bad apples in every society and obviously Israel is no different but conflating the two is beyond ridiculous. I mean for starters in pretty much every poll conducted, over 70% of Palestinians support Oct 7th. That is an insane level of hatred and brainwashing.

                                  No one can help the Palestinians until they first decide to help themselves. They have caused problems everywhere they have gone to whether it be in Jordan, Egypt, Kuwait, Syria or Lebanon and even supported the Nazis during WW2. The ball has always been in their court but unfortunately they have always chosen to shoot themselves in the foot, quite literally.

    Hamas steals funds and aid. There are videos showing them beating and killing Palestinians who dare to take humanitarian aid. Sadly, it is unlikely that Palestinians will receive help as long as Hamas governs the area.

      Care to link any of those videos? I've only seen videos of Israeli settlers destroying aid heading to Palestine
