I wanna remind everyone regardless of their political affiliation that the ONLY reason mainstream reporters/journalists like Piers Morgan & Tucker Carlson are just now starting to call out Israel is because they know if they stay silent any longer they’ll lose their influence over the populace... NOT because they genuinely care about what’s happening to the people there.
i gotta ask something, and know i mean in earnestly, im not trying to be a bitch. i keep seeing people say “free palestine” online, and i although i would also happily call for the freedom os these people, i dont understand what posting on yik yak is good for yknow? you believe palestine should be free? okay. me too. if you REALLY believe that, what are you DOING about it?? posting on yikyak??
As long as we’re not calling this “Zionism”. I am all for free Palestine, but I hate how much people blame this on Jewish people and use the buzzword of Zionism instead of realizing that it is just heinous people in power and a country with compulsory military service. Blaming the country of Israel without recognizing the fact that many citizens don’t agree with them is like blaming the entire United States population for the actions of Donald Trump.
The fact that you don’t understand that a technical error in war means people died is telling. Friendly fire is also a technical error, a helicopter full of young soldiers hitting a power line and crashing is a technical error. War is the technical process of killing people and breaking things. When there is a technical errors in that process the wrong people die and the wrong things get broken.
Try investigating what you all complain about before you actually complain. Fact: If you are LGBTQIA+, don’t move there. They do not accept you. Fact: they see women as inferior and treat them as a lower class than men. And that is just the quick list. There is much more to their beliefs and life style that infringes on many people.
Yes. Yes. And yes. Genocide does not look like this, this is a modern military fighting an urban war against an asymmetric enemy in a civilian area. Even the “Killing fields.” Report said that about 5 civilians are killed per day. That’s not a genocide, that’s war. A genocide by Israel against Gaza would be over by now.
Are the IDF saints? Is Israel a perfect country? Do they have zero psychopaths in their armed forces who would actually commit a war crime? No. No. And No. but every example you just gave can be explained much more easily by errors on intelligence, command, or ground level leadership than by a coordinated genocide. Once again if Israel wanted every gazan dead, they would all be dead. And less IDF soldiers would be dead because they could just sit at stand off range and shell everything.
1. Genocide must be fast, Many genocides are slow and multi phased. 2. Genocide = everyone dead. The legal definition doesn’t require full extermination. 3.Only complete destruction counts. The attempt or intent is enough to classify it as it is. Are we also not going to talk about the almost endless spew of hate from upper ranking government officials that literally say no one is innocent and all must die?? Or maybe the several thousand interviews with ex-idf soldiers admitting killing civ
Pity away moron boy. I didn’t address anything because you made no statements to address. Well except to attack, belittle and demean me because of your own over exaggerated ego. I do not condone the killing of anyone. You want to play the card of killing kids when the first attack was on a large group of Israelites in a park celebrating, & an unprovoked attack from your besties the Hamas. Not only did a bunch of kids die, so did men & women. But they don’t matter. You’re an antagonist
wow you truly are illiterate i have repeatedly said i don’t side with hamas and they can go fuck themselves too was this really the gotcha moment you thought it be bc man you’re one stupid individual writing such a useless paragraph. Let me break it down for an idiot like you. Isreal is evil and commits war crimes on civilians = bad , Hamas is is evil and commits war crimes on civilians = bad , Killing kids = bad. Justifying Israel’s warcrimes = being a dumbfuck.
I’m not saying genocide needs to be fast. I’m saying that Israel has the means and opportunity to kill a whole hell of a lot more people than they have. If they had the motivation they simply would have. I’m not saying genocide means everyone is dead. Genocide is the attempt, successful or not, to eradicate a distinct identity group or a perceived identity group.
Genocide does not require complete destruction. And what quote are you talking about? What high government officials? Every time I ask this question, if someone even answers me they point to either some random hard liner or a totally fabricated quote. And what interviews? Where are the thousand interviews? Yes, soldiers have killed civilians. No that’s not a genocide. The NORMAL civilians to combatant death ratio in urban war is between 7:1 and 10:1 even if you take the word of Hamas
So old wise one, let me get this straight… You claim you are on either side, but still public denounce the actions of IDF but not Hamas actions..check! You claim IDF war crimes because they killed children in their attacks, but not acknowledge the e Children killed by Hamas…check. So you don’t support either side, but only condemn one side…check!
And a standard Israeli tank can be equipped with up to three mounted negev pattern machine guns. Those weapons fire at about 1000 rpm so a tank can fire 300 rounds and a shell in between 20 and 7 seconds, depending on the load out. In the chaos of war, against an enemy who wares civilian clothing, and hides among civilians a 20 second window of misidentification is easy to see. If it even happened at all, since the last such incident I followed turned out to be Hamas gunmen, not the IDF.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant "We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly." October 9, 2023 Reuters, The Guardian, Haaretz, 4. Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu "Dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza is one way." 17 November 5, 2023, Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel
wow so you truly don’t have any idea what you’re talking about there wasn’t any war zone at all the tank wasn’t even in combat and no hamas members were nearby and this incident did happen you can look there’s a video of it the car was on a evacuation road and had a white flag with children visibly inside
And a sniper 600 yards away from a figure who is raising something onto their shoulder cannot actually tell exactly what that thing is in time. If there are ten troops on patrol and you see that the correct course of action is to presume the tiny figure in your scope to be a short guy with an RPG. Not a kid pretending to have an RPG. Awful, horrible, tragic… War.
For the record I agree with you. This is an awful situation and those people are innocent and shouldn’t be in this situation. But 100% of the blame for that lays with Hamas. They are 100% responsible for this war, they have 100% ability to end it. They are 100% to blame. War is hell and they brought it to the innocent people of Gaza because they hate Israel so much they would set every single gazen on fire if it let them get a nuke to hit Tel Aviv.
So what you’re seeing here is a tiny fraction of the fog of war. You’re assuming we’re talking about the same incidents, the same sniper, the same tank. The fact is that this has happened multiple times (as is to be expected in large scale urban war.). But you seem not to understand that
are you slow or have a cognitive disability i think i broke it down very clearly that hamas warcrimes are bad too you’re reaching soo hard now it’s actually more pathetic then i thought you could be. The context of this post was a IDF warcrime in which you dont want people to criticize bc of social issues in gaza. this is actually hilarious how you keep repeating this same stance thinking you did something when really you’ve already proved yourself to be a terrible person
i’m being fr right now you should actually do some proper damn research on these incidents bc it sounds like you have not read nor watched the vids or reports of them at all and just chalking it up to “war”. Also check out https://www.breakingthesilence.org.il/ of IDF soldier testimonies. The war didn’t start on oct 10th do you perhaps know what the reason such a hateful terrorist organization happened to form bc that’s israel’s fault for its decades of massacres and oppression to Palestine

Actually YOU are part of the problem. Thinking children deserve to be bombed and starved. Saying people can’t support Palestine if they’re lgbt of a woman. You have no care for human life. YOU are the problem. It almost seems like people like you are enjoying this, and that’s fucked up. Have some humanity.
They literally just keep killing civilians unnecesarily and calling it technical errors. Completely avoidable. It seems very clear that they are doing it on purpose and using technical error as an excuse. A haaretz article came out that cited testimonies from multiple IDF soldiers who said that they were ordered to shoot at Palestinians at aid sites
