Allowing civilians to evacuate from warzones is required under international humanitarian law.

Gazans should be able to decide themselves if they want to stay or leave.

Gaza has a border with Egypt.

Most of the plastic in our oceans comes from land-based sources: by weight, 70% to 80% is plastic that is transported from land to the sea via rivers or coastlines

Most of the world’s largest emitting rivers are in Asia, with some also in East Africa and the Caribbean

Seven of the top ten rivers are in the Philippines. Two are in India, and one in Malaysia. The Pasig River in the Philippines alone accounts for 6.4% of global river plastics

Rich countries tend to have better functioning waste collection and disposal services.

A lot of ocean trash comes by river from poor countries.

It helps me cope when I lose the game later.

Thank you for providing a source for this argument. The article calls him aspiring autocrat, and I don’t disagree with that. He’s a corrupt and very shrewd politician.

Hamas gained popularity and notoriety during the Oslo peace process by suicide bombings and being fundamentally opposed to any peace deal with Israel. They only exist because of intransigence and inability to compromise among Palestinians.

It shows.

Israeli settler terrorism is a crime according to Israeli law. It should be prosecuted accordingly.

Hamas is also in the West Bank, but they’re weaker there. There are plenty of other armed groups there as well and they have been active recently.

We don't live in a Marvel-comic world of good versus bad. This is a terrorist organisation keeping a country hostage

So much we agree on.

versus a de facto autocrat

Just to go off the rails right after.

Is there, in your opinion ever a situation where the death of civilians is an acceptable trade off to reach military objectives?

For example: a school’s roof is used as a launch pad for rockets and its basement serves as weapons storage.

I only read reports of desertion, not surrender.

That’s not a bomb shelter.

Force their way into Egypt

Why doesn’t Egypt open the border? Why is there no evacuation of refugees by sea?

I have heard from attacks on schools, hospitals, and safe zones. These were all used by combatants and thus legal military objectives under international humanitarian law.

I have never even heard of bomb shelters existing for civilians in Gaza.

Apparently the one you want.

I wrote that the war should end and you suggest I will only be satisfied if all Palestinians are killed. You are a deeply unserious person.

Mods are worse here and often will delete posts and ban users, who don’t violate the rules. There are tons of unwritten rules, especially in news and politics related topics.

If a user is banned, all their posts and the communities they created are deleted. That means lots of valuable content can get deleted at the whim of a mod.

Tankies are far more present and tolerated here than on Reddit.

Misogyny is also more ripe. There’s a reason twoxchromosomes never got off the ground here.
