Opinion: Here's what the mass violence in Gaza looks like to a scholar of genocide by Raz Segal - Los Angeles Times https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-11-19/israel-hostages-gaza-bombing-civilians-genocide-holocaust-studies
@eeyam @palestine What a false equivalence comparing Ukraine to Gaza. They also neglect to mention Hamas' terror tactic of operating from hospitals and surrounding themselves with civilians as human shields. Definitely against the Geneva Convention.
@xmacdonald @eeyam @palestine Interesting - Israel has a long track record as a State based on lies, ridden with lies, using lies to justify its many nefarious actions over nearly 80 years. Yet when this State presents claims about Hamas in Gaza - with NO objective evidence - you immediately swallow them. I can only pity you - and those like you who lack the wit to discern the difference between lies and objective reality, but choose to swallow whole the propaganda of the Israeli regime.
@KarunaX @eeyam @palestine no, I do not swallow anything I get from Israel. I'm highly critical of their position. I'm deeply concerned about the settler state. You make hyperbolic assumptions. Why aren't we talking also about the horrifying practice of Hamas using civilians as shields?
@xmacdonald @eeyam @palestine Because Hamas is not doing that. This claim of "Hamas using human shields" is Israeli propaganda - in fact, it is projection.
Israel has lied about "40 beheaded babies". Israel has lied about "rapes by Hamas".
Israel has been caught lying in every one of its attacks on civilians in Gaza since 2005.
I must admit I find it odd that you oppose the settler state yet appear to unquestioningly accept Israeli propaganda. E.G. This from 2018 https://www.newarab.com/opinion/palestinians-arent-using-human-shields-israel
@KarunaX @xmacdonald @palestine Also, legit question.. if a shooter, for example, went inside a hospital in the US and kidnapped babies in the NICU, is it justified to bomb the entire hospital or the entire community to take out the shooter?
That is how this “human shield” justification by Israel sounds to me. It is absurd.
@eeyam @KarunaX @xmacdonald @palestine
“I honestly and truly believe that this is part of the military strategy. Those patients are going to die. Anybody who was lucky enough to survive the initial assault and the Israeli strategy was to destroy the healthcare system so that they do not survive their wounds.
“It is obvious that this is a genocidal war.”

@xmacdonald @eeyam @palestine For adjusting the moral compass: “Israeli security forces have repeatedly used Palestinians in the West Bank and in the #Gaza Strip as human shields,“ https://www.btselem.org/human_shields #Israel #freegazafromhamas
@Rainer_Rehak @eeyam @palestine deplorable indeed, but only one side of the story
@xmacdonald @eeyam @palestine Well, I tried to extend the picture your were painting about Hama's atrocities.
However, #Hamas are heartless terrorist monsters, I expect nothing sensible or humane from them anyway, but from a democratic country I do.
@eeyam @palestine The Nuremberg trials established that enablers of genocide are themselves guilty of war crimes. Yes, Joe Biden and members of Congress and the Senate - this applies to you. #gaza #genocide https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1884&context=cilj
