Israel/Palestine thread - Page 1384 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I know Gazans aren't bbq'ing lamb kebabs every night but is there much better propaganda against Israel than showing a bunch of starving people on the verge of death? Twitter feeds would be littered with these images.
For sure Israel has halted aid coming in but there is not mass starvation causing death in Gaza.

Pretty much every source is showing a serious degree of food insecurity and illness. But we are also talking about 100ks of people with no end in sight.

Israel has basically announced that they are going to take out Hez and that is going to add a whole nother layer of chaos for a bunch of Lebanese in an already poverty stricken country.

The very high civilian toll. It's at 5% of the population and climbing IIRC.

The extermination of the press

The plans to ethnically cleanse and annex northern Gaza

They are clearly destroying Gaza's ability to function as a society. That's genocide.

All of the above has been cited at length upstream.

This has all been addressed and debunked. If Israel was trying to conduct genocide, they wouldn’t have offered the Palestinians peace and land multiple times. The Palestinians have no one to blame but their leadership.

What do you mean, what are you referring to

Israel vows more strikes in Lebanon as death toll soars, thousands flee

The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that it had hit 1,500 “terrorist infrastructure targets in southern Lebanon and deep inside Lebanese territory.”

“Hezbollah today is not the same Hezbollah we knew a week ago,” Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, claiming the group “has suffered a sequence of blows to its command and control, its fighters, and the means to fight.”

In Lebanon, the death toll since Monday — one of the country’s deadliest days since a protracted civil war ended in 1990 — rose to at least 569, according to the Ministry of Health, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians but said there were 50 children, 94 women and nine paramedics among the dead.

Serious question: if you let your house be used as a base for terrorists does it become a legitimate target?

None of the houses were storing weapons

British warships are in the area to help evacuate. They've already began a scorched-earth policy

I know you ate breakfast but how would it feel if you didn’t.

Victor: I don’t understand the question. I did have breakfast this morning.

Me: No but just imagine you didn’t, how would that feel?

Victor: That doesn’t make sense. I had breakfast this morning.

Almost your entire list can be directly attributed to Hamas ****ing the Palestinians. It’s really not worth picking through. There’s no genocide, you’re living in an alternate reality.

And the article still never mentioned genocide or even insinuated it… hm.

50 kids dead in the latest round of precision targeted attacks. Presumably they were human shields, so you don't have to worry too much. Or maybe they were sitting on top of Hezbollah tunnels, it's okay to kill them if that's the case.

Israel is so good at starving people that them not starving people and facilitating international aid operations is evidence of them starving people. Genius.

Also not sure how they are classifying children, does it also include 14-17 year old child soldiers that the region seems to be a fan of recruiting?
