Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Defend posters who, from thousands of miles away, with no qualifications or experience declare as fact that Israel has committed no war crimes all you want. IMHO it simply isn’t credible.

I'll undersign that. I just have less confidence in Israel about it than that (far more than Hamas).

Blockade?

"The European Union remains Cuba’s main export and trade partner. It is also the largest foreign investor in the country (mainly in the tourism, construction, light industry and agro-industry sectors) and accounts for one third of the tourists arriving on the island."

Doesn't seem to be working so well if they have all this trade with the rest of the world. Might as well ask for the ending of the North Korean blockade on South Korea.

Firstly, that isn't what the poster said. This is what they said:

I am not declaring that no war crimes have been committed by Israel, but what I am saying is that it is not immediately apparent that Israel has committed any war crimes and their actions may be justified and justifiable under international law.

Secondly, where are your posts challenging posters who, from thousands of miles away, with no qualifications or experience declare as fact that Israel has done so? Or go ahead, show me the posts where you challenged such an accusation against Israel?

Was always the plan. Now the real work starts for the IDF but it's going to be messy and bloody.

It's not hidden in the reporting:

These numbers and the associated press reporting are a direct refutation of the oft-repeated dismissal of the numbers 'because Hamas' it is also an obviation of the argument made in the tweet shared in your post that the press is oblivious or not respective of how Hamas and the Health Ministry interact.

Will you call for Israeli politicians and soldiers to be handed over to the ICC in the same way as Hamas officials and soldiers if both are indicted for war crimes?

I compared Netanyahu to Putin, I didn't compare Israel to Russia so its not a nonsense comparison. He was shackled only by the confines of Israeli law which he tried his best to circumvent.

But nobody call it ethnic cleansing.

It laid out a vision for mass displacement at the end of its war with Hamas: establishing tent cities in Egypt, creating a humanitarian corridor, then building cities in the northern Sinai to house the refugees for the long term, with a security zone to prevent Palestinians from returning to Gaza. 

Sinai is a sparsely populated peninsula, its interior a largely inhospitable desert that has been the subject of past conflicts and negotiations between Israel and Egypt. 

The document deemed the plan to be the best option for Israel’s security in the wake of Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attack, while acknowledging that the proposal “is liable to be complicated in terms of international legitimacy.”

The numbers are just getting far too shockingly high people need to come up with ways to discredit them so they can keep saying all the bombing is justified and proportionate.

We've seen various western countries appealing for ceasefires, Biden seemingly trying to pull Israel back etc... They wouldn't be doing that if the civilian death toll was 'reasonable' or 'proportionate'

Their way? As I said in the breadcrumb of this quote-re-quote: no I haven't seen the establishment of any 5th column effort by US or Israel inside Gaza. I do not support their way of regime change I don't see how it is regime change here, it's not going after the leaders of Hamas, they're in a suite somewhere in Qatar. It's mostly going after Hamas, it has been argued, but 40%~ has also, reportedly, been children. In as many other posts I already indicated how I feel this result doesn't usher in regime change it will cement regimes in place for another generation. It's already recruitment pulp in the arab world.

It is called Regime change, something you support.

We are agreed that war crime guilt or innocence should be left to the experts then.

....but is not accountable to the millions of palestinians that suffer its rule. Thats not modern western democracy. It is, however, very similar to apartheid.

The PLO in the West Bank have less real powers than a county council. You might take better note of the constant raids, settler violence and land grabs that are a daily occurrence there.
