There has been numerous sentiments that have basically expressed that as much as Iron Dome has saved countless lives, it has also made Israel's wars "unfair." Even if 5% of all of the rockets have landed in residential areas of Israel that Hamas/Hezbollah has launched over the last decade or so, the argument that Israel would have every given right to basically destroy their enemies. But b/c the damage has been far less harmful, nobody seems to give a shit. It's a bizarre world we live in where shutting down rockets on a daily basis basically gets overlooked and excused.
Israel’s escalating use of torture against Palestinians in custody a preventable crime against humanity: UN experts https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-rele...5yVZuMh9WWhRz6pDbc_aem_NnzLqQkgrNAnsJ8TcoUxgA - Gang rape - Genital electrocution - Suspension from ceilings - Tied to beds blindfolded and in diapers - Stripped naked - Attacks by dogs - Waterboarding - Blackmail - Cigarette burns - Loud music played until their ears bleed - Deprived of adequate healthcare, food, water and sleep
Man....sounds like they spent time at Guantanamo and took some detailed notes and cranked it up another notch.
After Russia supplying high tech and weapons to Iran, now Pakistan announces that it plans to supply Iran with missiles Pakistan announces intention to supply arms to Iran at OIC meeting - report https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-813485 The US will be sending a full squadron of F-22 Middle East war fears ramp up as F-22 Raptors rush to keep the lid on Iran https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/middle-east-war-fears-ramp-up-f-22-raptors-rush-keep-lid-iran
Not sure if this is part of the retaliation but a US base was hit by rockets, then again - US troops shouldn't be there to begin with American soldiers 'are hit in huge rocket attack on military base in Iraq' - as officials make chilling prediction https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ase-Iraq-hit-missiles-Middle-East-crisis.html
Is that true? One of the 3 reasons Iran wants (already sneakily has?) nukes is that Sunni Pakistan has them. I was wondering when and in what way Pakistan would get involved, but I didnot anticipate this move.
I hope for Israel's sake that it isn't true. If they keep this up with starting fires in the region, all they are accomplishing is slowly uniting the Muslim world to take action against them - doing it via proxy does somewhat provide a cover for them like the Russians while arguing that they aren't a party to that war if it came to that. They'd be taking a page from NATO's book who argue that they aren't a party to the war in Ukraine despite arming them.
According to this, looks like Iran will focus their retaliation on military targets according to this report in Reuters Putin asks Iran to avoid civilian casualties in Israel response, sources say https://www.reuters.com/world/putin...lties-israel-response-sources-say-2024-08-06/ It is said that approximately over a million Russians speakers in Israel, that might be the reason
I know we sort of stopped posting about various antisemitic news here (god knows it's not like they stopped or decreased), but wtf. How's this ok? https://m.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-813604
The most "moral army in the world" Footage is released of Israeli soldiers covering themselves with shields, as they rape a Palestinian hostage at the Sde Teiman torture camp. The unnamed hostage was hospitalized with a torn rectum, broken ribs, ruptured bowels & damaged lungs. https://t.co/jctKdaZgf0 pic.twitter.com/b9k46crFLY— Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا (@SMohyeddin) August 6, 2024
There are no morals in war. You keep building these strawmen to blow down but you only blow one direction.
I’m not the one here justifying killing kids. 1. The killing of kids at the concert was a clear war crime. 2. israel commits far more war crimes than Hamas.
Not wearing identifiable uniforms is also a war crime. What’s Hamas’ uniform look like? Stop acting like one side has moral superiority over the other.
what uniform are these idf soldiers wearing? Both of these people, including the person dressed up as a lady on the left, are israelis going to bravely kill unarmed people in hospital beds in the West Bank . https://www.timesofisrael.com/hospital-raid-video-offer-rare-glimpse-into-undercover-israeli-unit/ One side may not be better than the other, but one side is clearly worse.
Yes it does. “Better” implies some good present in one of the parties. Worse doesn’t require any redeeming qualities to be present in either party. israel is clearly worse than Hamas by any objective metric you use. Numbers killed, numbers of crimes committed, number of genocides attempted, years of illegal military occupation regimes established, areas of land illegally occupied, number of famines attempted, number of hospitals destroyed, number of schools bombed….
Only because of military superiority. If Hamas had the capabilities Israel does, there wouldn’t be any Jews left. So your sentence still makes no sense.
The allegation here is that prisoners are being raped in a prison camp. That isn't in a 'war' context? If these allegations are true, it seems beyond horrific to me.
