"…there came a point, a few weeks ago, when I realized, the government isn’t going to end the war, isn’t bringing the hostages back, and isn’t helping the evacuees.”
" Increasingly, Netanyahu’s many opponents are questioning his handling of the war. Others are questioning the prime minister’s motives, suggesting his political interest lies in the continuation of the fighting, which inevitably delays his political demise. Netanyahu is currently under trial on various charges of corruption."
@Blamemeta @Bongo_Stryker Thing is, violating international law and the rules of war are not the same as committing a genocide. Genocide is a very specific claim that #Israel does not meet the standard for. It’s interesting to note as well that despite the (albeit minority) amount of American more mad at #Israel than #Hamas, #Hamas has done far, far worse in the #Israel #Hamas war than the #IDF has.
Has the #IDF raped civilians? I think not.
Has the IDF raped civilians? Shit questions. Most likely yes, some soldiers have but the IDF as a whole does not.
American soldiers have raped women. That doesn’t mean the US supports it. We punish those who do.
@wintermute_oregon No no no not #IDF soldiers; the #IDF, as a military group, as part of a militant campaign. People tend to do whatever when they’re off duty, that doesn’t exactly count.
