Video showing Palestinian man strapped to front of jeep

Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep

The Israeli military says the man was a suspect in a raid in the West Bank, but its forces violated protocol.

They behave exactly like terrorists. I regard the IDF as being on the same level as Hamas or any other terrorist group, no difference.

Your opinion. Which is irrelevant as they aren’t terrorists, and Hamas are. You can think like that, but it doesn’t make it fact as Israel aren’t on the list 🤷‍♀️

No answers because it’s a stupid comparison. It’s hypothetical. It doesn’t ‘happen’ in England, and if it did it would be all around context of why did it happen.

Yes it doesn't happen in England. Great point. I wonder why that is.

Why is it OK when it happens in the West Bank to Palestinians?

Still no answers to my questions to those who say this is wrong when it happens in England but fine for Palestinians.

War crimes are being committed every single day carried out in Israels name, Gaza is on the brink of impending famine, aid trucks not being allowed through, land unlawfully being stolen from Palestinians, etc etc etc all acts of terrorism from Israel what would you call it?

More high school type naivety, with the usual soundbites.

ForKookyPoet · 23/06/2024 22:17

You can view them however you like @MissyB1 . Until Israel are entered as proscribed terrorists, they are acting in self defence. What a shame the real terrorists didn't give any thought to issuing warnings before they decapitated a farm worker, while he was still alive. Never mind eh, what was his life worth?

Since when have they been on the proscribed list?

Israel has been murdering, torturing, raping, sexually abusing Palestinians for 70+ years under the guise of 'military strategy'. Government officials have said it is "for their own good". We should view this scene as an act of kindness 🙄

They were just trying to get him to hospital and tying an injured man to the front of an army jeep is just a totally normal way of doing that and not at all depraved and illegal under international law 🙄

Thats how many people were murdered, surely you know that? They didn't issue a warning because they're terrorists, same reason the IDF don't issue warnings, no difference, except Israel are commiting genocide

Where do you get that figure from? Oh, so you're saying the Nova festival massacre is separate to the other barbarism on the 7th October? Just a shame the barbarians didn't think to issue any warnings before THEY attacked.

So you don't actually know where the safe spaces in Gaza are? Do you know how many warnings the IDF gave before they bombed? That's what I asked, but I mean so long as there's people still standing in Gaza that's all OK, I mean Hamas only murdered 364 people at the festival in Israel, plenty more standing there too, don't know what the fuss is about...

Really? Well I guess that the whole population of Gaza, not being anything other than a pile of ashes, might be evidence. Are there people still standing? I believe so. More hyperbole.

"Military strategy BUT not genocidal intentions"

The ICC and its panel, including Danny Friedman KC, a practicing Jew and
Ted Meron, legal adviser of Israel in 1967, and holocaust survivor, would disagree with you.

As do the many human rights and aid organisations in Israel, along with many Israeli scholars, vocal Orthodox Jews, and Israeli media.

But what do they know eh.

They are voicing their opinions, amongst a range of others. I have no problem with that.

@SharonEllis

"They are not the same thing. Genocide has a legal meaning. Your 'book' is irrelevant."

I am well aware of the legal meaning and its origins.

Israel is guilty of genocide, so I'm happy for my "book" to be redundant in this case.

Then you are aware that it requires a court ruling. Your opinion is of no consequence
