To think someone has got to stop the mass killings in Gaza

We are back to hundreds of Gazans being killed each day after the so called ceasefire and over 50,000 now slaughtered, mostly women and children.
The bombing of hospitals, schools and 'safe zones' not being enough, they are now picking off paramedics. How much depravity is the world going to tolerate?

AIBU to suggest that the world leaders complicit in Netanyahu's genocide should all stand before the Hague?

It’s not a genocide.

Hamas have exaggerated the figures.

It could end tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas stands down.

Yeah. Hamas are awful

It's a difficult situation given how Israel is a Western ally and backed by powerful countries funding their lunacy.

When you learn about historical atrocities you always wonder how people could let it happen, well here you are.

The other day on a thread some psycho said they were glad children were being killed. That's what happens when you lose touch with basic humanity.

Ally is a reciprocal role. Considering that Israel has killed Western citizens during its wars, pushes for censorship of opposing voices in western states, attacked a US recon ship, stole uranium from the US purely to develop weapons, has dragged countries (including the UK) to disastrous wars in mid and west Asia, actively spies on and blackmails western politicians and potentially being complicit in the JFK assassination conspiracy, I wouldn't call them an ally.

Yes its utterly disgusting and soul destroying and Israel has really lost control of themselves. So many children murdered too.

The world is watching a genocide in real time, and are now pretty much ignoring it. Hungary is currently hosting the war criminal Netanyahu. It all sickens me to my stomach. No one will stop it, there will be no Palestinians left in Gaza soon, they will be dead or removed. Then Israel will clear them out of the west bank too. I'm losing all faith in humanity.

Well yes, you are unreasonable to want world leaders complicit in Netanyahu’s genocide to stand before The Hague, because ‘complicity’ needs defining and because many countries (eg the USA and Israel herself) aren’t signatories to the ICC which is what I presume you want people in The Hague for.

But obviously you’re not unreasonable to want the killing to stop. The stories are awful, the statistics are horrific. I wish governments around the world were much more condemnatory of horror committed by both sides, and that it was possible to criticise one side without immediately being accused of bias by the other side. Netanyahu, the Israeli cabinet in general, Hamas, Hazbollah. Villains all.
