UN confirms Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza

[weareallequal]

Just announced

I know @mids2019 - trey are just as much risk if being killed by this continued bombing. It’s been repeated before- the hostages have only been released during ceasefires. Think of the lives of Palestinians and hostages that could have been saved!

The hostage families appear increasingly frustrated and distraught about the lack of ceasefire. It looks like most of the world wants the same thing, including most Israelis and the IDF military head. For the war to stop.

horrific, don’t have the words really.

And your point is?

Yes let’s hope they find the hostages. But let’s remember all the dead bodies of children and women buried under the rubble. 20,000 children have been killed. Let’s not forget that. I’m sure that’s a conservative number.

I pray and hope for all those children who have been orphaned
I pray and hope for every Palestinian that is being starved to death and hunting for food
i pray and hope that this genocide finally comes to an end after two years

I think it would be useful to reference the Ukrainian civilian losses in this thread too.

14.000 dead
36.000 injured

Since Feb 2022

So many horrific stories of what the so called most moral army in the world is doing.

There doesn't need to be 'a point'. The title is 'the point'. No opinion needed, the story stands alone.

Why?

Surely thats a different conflict for a different thread and not in the middle east.

What's your point?

Context is everything.

Oh dear.

Our Government appear to still be unwilling to admit it’s a genocide. One day they will be found to have been complicit, no amount of hand wringing or sad faces is going to stop the killing or make our Government look innocent.

*in reply to your post on Ukraine

If all your family were murdered would it be okay or not worth talking about if another family were murdered too? Honestly! You are really reaching here! FYI Putin also poisons his friends but none of that is relevant to this topic.

Israel is a genocidal state. Mass murder, dismemberment, rape, enforced starvation, false imprisonment, mass displacement - will I go on. No matter what anyone does somewhere else it will NEVER be okay!

That’s because it’s not a genocide.

Israel could have gone for it and carpet bombed Gaza City on October 8th, or any day since, and they have not.

Hamas chose war.

Save some pity for the poor Ukrainians please.

Your assertions are certainly applicable to Russia.

The CITME thread is for chat about Gaza

Er..the middle east is a wee bit bigger than Gaza...other conflicts are available, and Russia is involved in a couple of those too.

Does that mean it is now acceptable to condemn Israel's abhorrent actions without being labelled anti-Semitic?

Has that ever stopped you before?

Yes, if by the same measure, I can support the unite the kingdom march without being labelled a racist.

Do we have a deal?

The real experts in what constitutes a genocide (as opposed to arm chair experts like yourself) have said it is. I will trust their opinion over yours.

Wow that is some pretty unsound logic and some
serious stretching there. Israel have committed genocide. Period.

So, following your logic.

Who has tried to, or has stated their aim is to commit genocide against Israel?

It’s only because Israel are stronger than their enemies that they continue to exist at all.

Back to context…

Yes. Because I don't think that I am anti-Semitic.
I've never thought that condemning what Israel is doing was anti-Semitic because equally if anybody was doing what Israel are doing to Jewish people I would think that too was horrifying and unacceptable.

Can you please explain what you're saying further? Why is it anti-Semitic to condemn Israel's killing of children and civilians in general?
