I wish.

No? Muslims hate Jews because Zionists have been trying and succeeding in taking their homes for a hundred years. The Islamic position is and has always been "Jews hate you and will try to bring you down but no war crimes because they're people of the book".

I get the same feeling too. Like they're throwing a tantrum and expecting reality to bend to their wills (which has been Israel's modus operandi for the last... century?)

That makes sense the other way around because Hamas only employs men as fighters, but the IDF is co-ed.

Exactly, and that was a disaster in every sense of the word. Which is why Hamas is refusing the current offer (not like Israel likes it very much either), because the promise that "we'll start with a temporary ceasefire and turn it into something more enduring" was made before in November and in the end Hamas lost half their hostages for a whole lot of nothing. Even a random guy watching from the sidelines like me can tell; even if the 6-week ceasefire succeeds and becomes permanent, it'll come at the cost of Israel occupying Gaza, or at least half of it, and that's assuming it succeeds and Israel doesn't continue doing their thing in six weeks.

PS: I don't remember when it was either, could've been December.

"Longer" will these idiots never learn? Hamas has been very clear about their demands.

Honestly I want someone to actually go to court on this (hopefully someone rich so they can afford the lawyers) because I really want the UK to officially acknowledge that Palestinians are second class citizens in Israel.

Always have been.

It's sarcasm.

Israel has been getting both so... yeah.

This is after it turned out that Israel's accusation was a lie, as is usually the case. This man will go down in November and drag the rest of the world with him.

Look, even if your logic held, even if these people were all Hamas fighters, this treatment of prisoners of war is a war crime and violation of the Geneva convention.

So... When is he getting punished?

Yes and no. Netanyahu is accurately representing his voter base (and the Israeli public as a whole), the whole corruption nonsense aside. Israel just has that many people who want genocide.

Not the US but the UK did it in Iran.

Better nothing than worse than nothing. There's a reason the ICC is criticized as a neocolonialist tool for the West and the last thing anyone should be doing is prove that right.

That ignores that Hamas is, messed up as it is, one of the few things preventing Israel from turning Gaza into a wasteland and then Lebensraum (which they're already doing, but you can probably imagine that it would be going a lot faster if there was nobody to resist). You take away however many of Hamas's numbers you can provably convict for war crimes (I'd wager the number is a lot less than most would expect, but that aside), and Palestinian resistance suffers greatly as a result. Israel takes the opportunity to oppress Palestinians even more, and those Palestinians are rightly convinced that the international community is an enemy just like Israel, only hiding behind a layer of hypocrisy that they call justice.

The only environment where war criminals in Hamas can be convicted is after Palestine has its own state, and with Israel in tow. Selective justice is oppression, not justice.

By the time the port is constructed half of Gaza will be dead.

Uh... Balfour definitely has something to do with Israel.

Better than the "we will take everything and kill you" solution Israel is offering.

Either way when it comes to organizations like Hamas their official positions (even though in this case it should be at least acceptable as a start) don't really matter. There's a reason I compared them with the IRA; when the injustice fueling these sorts of organizations fades away they either adapt by becoming governments or political parties (as Hamas attempted to do in the 2006 election) or fade away ala the IRA.
