As of April 5, 2025, numerous armed conflicts are ongoing worldwide, varying in scale and intensity. According to the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, over 110 armed conflicts are currently being monitored, encompassing both international and non-international engagements.
why is israel the only one to be demonised out of the current 110 conflicts?
The answer is blindingly obvious

Excuse me if I don't believe any report that comes out of the U.N. when their anti-Israel bias and impartiality is so well documented

LOL this is hilarious considering the only sources you have posted are pro-israeli propaganda.

IDF soldiers were raping Palestinians in Israeli prisons which was exposed by Israeli whistle blowers.

Considering Hamas don't recognise the validity of the Israeli state and are committed to wiping it out, wiping them out will be the only way to at least have a chance of long term peace for both peoples

That ignores the fact that Hamas had offered to lay down arms and become a purely political party in return for the restoration of territory as of 1967 last year.

The perfect opportunity for opposition parties to work to take control of Palestine back from Hamas. You can't wipe out Islmaic terrorist groups by force, recent history tells us that.

A group of nine were arrested, not been found guilty, but that shows the Israeli government are taking it seriously. It's not happening with impunity, if it is happening, it's not gone to court yet. And it's not being used as a weapon of war or 'comprise part of the Israeli Security Forces’ standard operating procedures toward Palestinians' as you claimed

So wiping out Hamas is going to achieve what exactly?

Hopefully killing more Israelis

My initial reaction to the conflict was to be utterly outraged by Israels actions but I wanted to make sure that I wasn't being unfair.Also while I am pretty certain I am not anti semitic any criticism of Israel usually leads to that SO I thought I would do some research and read up about the conflict from a historical perspective.
So I did that - and I am still utterly outraged by Israels actions.

PollyPaintsFlowers · 06/04/2025 19:01

I've seen that video, it doesn't show anything beyond doubt, even the link just says 'appears' to, it doesn't prove anything. But of course anti-zionists will jump on anything no matter how dubious in order to condemn Israel

Yes the facts in the UN report do disgust me as they should every single person. It's utterly repellent. Rape apologists disgust me too.

What facts are those? If even Al Jazeera are now saying their claims were made up you know facts from their side are thin on the ground

You think the UN make their reports from an Al Jazeera article. Don't be ridiculous. The facts are clear in the report I linked to. If you feel comfortable being a rape denier then that's on you but I'm not engaging with someone who finds the rape of women and girls hilarious judging from your laughing reactions.

Hmm, only documented by Israel though who are just one of the 193 member States.

Incorrect. Not just by Israel, by other countries and agencies as well, though do your own research and see the disproportionate number of U.N. sanctions against Israel as opposed to other countries who really have committed massacres and ethnic cleansing etc

cindyhove · 06/04/2025 19:17

Kakeandkake · 06/04/2025 18:14

Yes, they did. Honestly you really should do more research on this topic that you clearly feel so passionate about.

I think you’ll find you are wrong

That’s not actually true? Where are you getting your figures from?

So how many do you think are in Gaza??

It isn’t though is it? Israel are just creating Islamic martyrs.

I presume you mean not killing more Israelis. Probably best to edit if you still can.
