Merged Gaza just launched an unprovoked attack on Israel

To denote when two or more threads have been merged
For those who think Israel is being indiscriminate:


They're honoring Geneva rules even when Geneva protects people it should not. (In this case, a civilian that participated in 10/7.) Even when they didn't agree to that part of Geneva. (We didn't sign that part of it, either.)
 
I really wish there was a way to verify this:


The URL says enough.

The data to verify or deny that doesn’t exist.

The only records are those of Hamas. And they ran a dysfunctional shit show of an administration. And they're notoriously dishonest on reporting numbers.

So I call bullshit. Nobody knows

And also.. Hamas have done their best to blur the difference between a combatant and civilian. Even if you sat with perfect intel you still wouldn't be able to clearly separate the groups

I think we have reasonable estimates on the dead. The interesting part was how many are family members of terrorists.
 
Hamas leader Sinwar is dead. I'm guessing Israel has given up on getting back any of the remaining hostages and are going for the heads.

Yes, I think that you're probably right. Sinwar was never going to agree to any peace with Israel. He was on the far right side of the Hamas group that wanted war. He referred to the more moderate wing as the "hotel Hamas Dudes". He wanted chaos and death, and he got what he wanted in the end.

Honestly, I thought that the Israeli government gave up on getting the people that Gazans kidnapped back a year ago.

If the Gazans kidnap a bunch of people and then get what they want they're just going to kidnap more people the next time.

I'm confident that the IDF and Likud saved a bunch of innocent civilians by refusing to negotiate with terrorists for the return of the hostages, thereby making it less advantageous for Muslim terrorists to kidnap more people.
And the Gazan leadership could also save a bunch of innocent civilians by not using Gazans as cannon fodder and human shields.
But I don't think that they will.

Gazan leadership is Hamas--it's not going to make one bit of difference to their human shield tactics.

I do agree it's going to reduce the incentive to take hostages, though. The be-nice approach always ends up hurting Israel, yet the world keeps demanding it.
 
IDF destroys an entire village in Lebanon.


Very interesting explosion pattern. Looks almost like a fuse leading up to the big boom. What weapon looks like that? Certainly nothing I'm aware of--a bomb starts with the biggest boom. But it's perfectly reasonable for secondaries. There are some "villages" in Lebanon that are basically nothing but Hezbollah rocket storage--I've never paid attention to names but this certainly seems like it might be an example of such.

Cluster munition.
 
Due to wars, hunger (incl. starvation etc.) is now one of the world's leading causes of death. I'll attach some graphics about the food situation in Gaza.

It is despicable the way the U.S. gives huge support to the on-going genocide perpetrated by Netanyahu and other war criminals. Even some otherwise-well-informed Americans right here at IIDB have shown strong support for the war crimes. Their feeble defenses make me think they flunked kindergarten, where we were supposed to learn "Two wrongs don't make a right."

If Harris loses this election, it may be due in part to rational Americans' disgust with the Biden-Harris support for war crimes. (Of course Trump and his cretinous ilk are even stronger supporters of such crimes.) I stumbled upon an opinion piece by Jacob Weindling who protests that he hates Trump and will cast an ALMOST straight Democratic ballot, but might not vote for Harris. Here's one of his introductory paragraphs:

Just before going to bed last night, I watched someone hooked up to an IV burn to death in yet another Israeli bombing of a hospital in Gaza (Warning: graphic photo here). The horrors in this genocide have been endless, but this feels like a new, more sinister development, where Israel is publicly saying they are blocking food for 13 days and counting, and CNN and the Associated Press either hide Israeli complicity from their headlines altogether or downplay Benjamin Netanyahu’s final solution for northern Gaza as just a “plan,” all while the United States offers nothing more than their hypocritical words which have proven to be useless, feckless and insulting as Israel bombards hospitals and the tent hospitals that replace them.

I'd never heard of splinter.com; I just followed some clickables. But the site has some other interesting articles, e.g. Justin Trudeau Says Under Oath That Russia Funds Tucker Carlson

(I'll bet the pro-genocide Infidels show up and repeat the canard that Hamas is stealing available food. What do I win?)

Oh, starvation has been the leading cause of death for many many years. It's just that we don't care about it unless it happens to Gazians. 10,000 children die per day due to starvation:

Oh my. Sarcasm about starving Gazans?

One difference is that Gazans are being DELIBERATELY starved. Do you support that Netanyahu policy?

No, I don't support Netanyahu. I don't think that it's possible to completely wipe out Hamas. However, this is hamas's doing. They are too blame. But people don't care about children starving unless they are gazians. 10,000 starve every day. Where are the posts regarding this?

As Swammerdami pointed out, are those deaths part of a direct policy?
Moreover, those who are concerned about starvation in the world can send needed resources that will arrive.

Finally, blaming Hamas for the choices made by the gov’t of Israel is sloppy snd biased thinking. Israel has agency on how they prosecute the war. Hamas started this tragedy snd does its best to egg Israel into acting like cold blooded killers of children and othe noncombatants. But Israel need not help Hamas meet its goal.
 
Who has done better? Anywhere, anytime? Who has even come close to as low a civilian:combatant ratio in rooting forces out of a city that has not been evacuated?

Nobody, that's who.
Like I said, skull fuck the numbers doesn't change the fact that there are still hostages and Israel hasn't come close to ending Hamas.
In other words, pay no attention to unpleasant reality. They're Jews, therefore they're wrong.

This anti-semitism accusation against people who oppose the Netanyahu government’s ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza is false and despicable. I know why the Netanyahu government likes it when people play this card, because it diverts attention from what he and his military are doing to innocent people.
