That's not what I am denying, read my comment again. What I am saying is that the warnings are just for show, because if they follow the warnings and flee, the IDF kills them while they are on the run

Not when reasonable effort to warn civilians is: we're going to bomb you, and if you run we'll bomb you too.

The discussion was literally about sanctions. Seems like a reasonable step compared to the "war" you immediately jump to, no?

Ah yes, because telling Netanyahu "please don't bomb children, that is not really nice" has worked out splendidly so far. Diplomacy without being able to put pressure on is nothing more than kindly asking.

Y'know what is the primary method to apply pressure in diplomacy? Sanctions.

Annoying huh, international law against ethnic cleansing. You're not even allowed to give civilians the choice between being forcibly removed or slaughtered. It's antisemitic I tell you, what are the poor Israelis to do?

You know they don't have to invade Rafah, right? It's not like ethnic cleansing is Israel's only choice.

You're not burying people if you don't consider them people taps head

Something along the lines of being an egocentric asshole that doesn't give a fuck about anything but themselves and their bank account, probably.

Nothing left to invade but still about 1.5 million Palestinians left in Rafah that Israel desperately wants to murder

I know and I always thought that is bullshit, but making it (for all intends and purposes) illegal to boycot companies from another country is next level. That's giving away freedoms of your own citizens purely to the advantage of another country. That is insane.

That is some dystopian shit, what the fuck.

Israel is a shitstain on the democratic (or western or whatever you want to call it) way of thinking.

This is why I'm not for referenda generally. Decisions like this are way too complicated and have way too many difficult to foresee implications for anyone to make a well-informed decision on, unless you take the time to really study it. It's the whole reason we have the governmental system we have: you elect people you think will represent your opinion best, who then have the dedicated time to do the research required.

Declaring literally half the population "fools" or "dumb" is a bit extreme, don't you think? If it was 10% sure, if it's 50% something else is going on. Dismissing it as "it's just fools" will do nothing to improve it for the next election or referendum (as you can see with Trump in the US now).

We live in a time where it's all too easy for a small group with malicious motives and money (be it corrupt politicians, foreign governments or rich olicharchs businessmen) to sway the public opinion. That is the problem that needs fixing, by limiting the echo chamber effects of social media, the power of media conglomerates, and better education in general.

Why does Israel need precision-guided munitions? "Lob in the general direction of Gaza" seems to be precise enough for them

That depends, did you condemn Hamas while you were busy doing something else?

They are helping Palestinians survive despite all of Israel's efforts to exterminate them. They are clearly anti-Semitic. /s

This way they can say "wir haben es nicht gewusst" when the world will question how we could possibly have let this happen.

In response, the far-right lawmaker threatened to take steps in his capacity as head of the treasury that would significantly impede the Palestinian economy

This is just fucking evil. The US sanctioning Israel? Just take it out on the Palestinians.

No shit
