Looks like war crimes are back on the menu

Back?
What you mean back on the menu?
Pretty much genocide is what Israelis were doing the entire time. Now it's gonna be under the guise of a war. I feel bad for Palestinian civilians.
Setting up settlements on the westbank would be something you could consider genocide. Yet, especially Isreal probably knows a thing or two about genocide, considering both their ancient and recent history.
Their rough history and neighborhood does in no way justify the things they are doing but it very well explains them. No idea what Palestine was thinking though. Things are going to be ugly for them, like Sodom and Gomorrah getting doused in flames levels of ugly...
Hamas != Palestinians
I think it's very important to make that distinction.
Hamas wasn't thinking. Their shitty extremist ideology makes them believe that blowing themselves up will secure a place in heaven with Allah. They are delusional fanatics.
So Israel != IDF? I mean you're right but I thought sticking to one frame of reference (country) might be best when the thread was about them.
More like Israel != All Jews. Government obviously supports and orders the IDF around so they are as guilty as they are.
Yeah but then you'd be looking at the Israeli government - more specifically the government of Netanjahu - not Israel. The people are pretty divided about the settlement stuff and the IDF had a hard time getting new people into their ranks recently.
You could also argue that most Palestinians support Hamas, and most support armed conflict against Israel: "53% of Palestinians believe Hamas is 'most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people,'"

What's more, 60% of Palestinians apparently are favourable to armed conflict with Israel.
https://www.jns.org/poll-paradigm-shift-among-palestinians-as-they-throw-support-behind-hamas/
Whether this includes murdering babies and party-goers, the poll doesn't say.
You understand the fact that Hamas also suppresses and silences any opposition in Gaza, right? It's like saying most average Russians support the war because the statistics say so.
Providing such statistics as you have without this context is lying.
Not to mention, Hamas has not been voted in since 2014. In the votes that were supposed to happen, Hamas looked to lose, so they decided not to hold the vote at all.
I define lying differently, but I admit you have a point.
I have an idea... Now hear me out... CAGE MATCH. Who ever wins gets both countries
Or just kill the politicians on both sides
Just kill politicians in general
As opposed to previously, when Israel respected Palestinians and their borders.
This is a geopolitical version of "I'm not touching you" that involves sniping the limbs off of children.
We are at the point where most of the world wants to burn down "Palestine" to the ground.
I think you misspelled "Russia".
Eh they'll burn themselves to the ground soon...
Both is good.
It is antisemitic (under the IHRA definition) to suggest that Israel would commit war crimes
I just read it. Which part exactly (please quote) do you think supports what you claimed?
Here's the link to the definition, which includes some examples: What is antisemitism? About the IHRA non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism
I'll make it even easier. Here is the full text of the definition:
Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.
I think we can still point out israeli war crimes without being called antisemitic under that definition.
Being critical of the Israeli State and IDF is actually a very mainstream, well-accepted opinions in my experience. For instance Netanyahu's fascistic bullshit is widely criticized, even within Israel.
However, Hamas apology or antisemitic remarks are not acceptable; so whenever someone says "we can't even criticize Israel!! Freedom of speech!!1!!", I strongly suspect that they've done either of these things and got a righteous clapback.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
