Please do all you can to object to the genocide of Palestinians (Thread 2)

Sky news

Where is it reported?

And I would take this comment with a pinch of salt.🙄

It's being reported that Egypt have said they will suspend their peace treaty with Israel if the planned assault on Rafah goes ahead

All this talk of “it’s war, get over it”. “They’re collateral”.

Each life is valuable, regardless of who thinks it’s acceptable to kill them because they’re in the way of someone else’s goals.

In medicine there is a saying: Other people’s pain is easy to bear.

I think this quote I read best sums it up -

“The Israeli Government don’t want peace, they want Gaza.”

Sickening, once again, how little the atrocities being committed non-stop against a defenceless population are being reported on the news. Barely mentioned in today’s front pages.

I wonder how much the average Israeli knows of the horrors being perpetrated in their names.

In times of peace the killing of one civilian by another is seen as a tragedy, and a crime.

In times of war the killing of tens of thousands of civilians by soldiers who have been given orders by their government, is seen by some, as just something that happens.

Is the suffering of each individual, and their families, in each scenario (broadly speaking) any different?

Do people shut themselves off from the suffering when it is tens of thousands because it would be too much to bear?

There will be over 11,000 stories like Hind’s. Could anyone contain within themselves the individual pain of 11,000 stories like that?

If people could truly comprehend the level of suffering, would they still support it?

It still amazes me that some are still trying to claim this. I know some is an attempt to derail but there must be some who genuinely believe this.... despite all the evidence which proves otherwise.

And do you think Israel would allow them to return?

What timing this happens to have... almost as though it is an attempt to take focus off their planned ethnic cleansing. (Considering the attempt last time around, also)

Bernie speaks out against military aid

All lives are equal. Shame some people cannot seem to realise that. But anyways, let's not let someone derail again.....

@Kindatired "Also it’s very unlikely that 10,000 Israelis would be killed by Hamas given that typically rockets kill fewer people in Israel than die in road traffic accidents"

Who says they would be killed by rockets?

If all the terrorist groups massing on the borders invaded at once, it might be a different story.

Also it’s very unlikely that 10,000 Israelis would be killed by Hamas given that typically rockets kill fewer people in Israel than die in road traffic accidents. The 7/10 atrocities which were committed by Hamas occurred against a background of multiple defence failures at all levels, from intelligence officials who knew about the plans for a year to the people who couldn’t find the spare key for the gun cupboard, to the frenzy of “friendly fire “ that killed an untold number of victims. These mistakes probably won’t be repeated.
Israel will always have some type of terrorist problem because of demographics and borders but the real existential threat is from the destabilising forces of its own right wing
So @anotherfatyorkie I reject your assertion that 10,000 Israelis will be killed by terrorists while I acknowledge that Israel will always have a terrorist problem

Oh dear.

I'm sorry Easter Island, I really am.

As I understand it, Human Rights norms impose a duty on States to move people out of harm’s way through (temporary) evacuations as a measure to mitigate loss of life.

Well happily for you that isn't happening. But it is happening to Palestinians.

This conflict is rapidly escalating from local to a more widespread conflagration. It is no longer considered local. This is one of Blinken’s principal concerns at the moment.

Netanyahyu has made it clear that he intends to carry out a ground offensive in Southern Gaza and has given orders to the IDF to this effect. He must reasonably know that the consequences of sypuch action are either mass civilian casualties or forced transfer. Either consequence would be a war crime.

So time for the wider international community to call for economic sanctions and an appropriate response from the UN Security Council.

So to stop that happening over 20,000 Palestinians have to be killed? There's no other way? That's a very warped justification for genocide. I don't see some lives as better than others so ensuring no more innocent civilians are killed, starved, maimed, displaced is priority.
