The hostages thing is a racist lie and you can tell because we're 20ish days in and there hasn't been a single shred of evidence to back it up.

Edit: Ahh I fucked up here. I meant to say "human shields" not "hostages". Very big mistake on my part

They literally can not leave

So no Netanyahu?

Ohh more garbage for Earshot.ngo to rip appart

The intentional misunderstanding you’re feigning is disgusting.

Agreed but you're splitting hairs. My grandparents who voted for Biden aren't really "the left" either.

My ex who i've convinced to switch sides on this issue but is too afraid to say anything publicly because she doesn't think she knows enough of the history to take a stance isn't really "the left", but she voted Biden too.

Pretty much all of the Democratic leadership except Ilhan Omar.

They're not leftists but they are "the left"

Biden

The soldiers have since exited the area and returned to Israeli territory.

It was a pre-invasion to prepare for the big one

If you're going to call yourself an anarchist you need to have a serious answer to that question or you make your cause look like a joke.

edit: your takes on prohibition are on point though

I don't want to turn it into a sides thing, Obama bombed a few hospitals of his own and Biden is fumbling pretty fucking hard right now.

More examples that come to mind:

Tuskegee Syphilis study and the Regan administrations response to AIDS

We didn’t argue that

Israel has already been caught lying about Oct 7th. I was pointing out that not releasing the video or allowing it to be recorded means that no one can verify if the footage is legit. You keep insisting "they reviewed it". I don't know what you think you were arguing but you were in fact arguing that it is fine that Israel is not allowing journalists to verify evidence (or that a 3rd party had actually already verified it).

What you were mad about is not being able to watch the deaths yourself

I made a dumb joke about the snyder cut and you interpreted it in the least charitable way insisting that I personally want to watch the footage to celebrate. Don't be an asshole

New Zealand funds terrorism because of it.

Not according to the US, do you have any sources to back your claim?

Yes collective punishment is a war crime

Now please stop bothering me with these low effort comments

I'm pretty sure it's the official web UI but I use Memmy on my phone which also shows up and down votes separately

most probably Israel has killed way more children and babies than Hamas.

I mean sure, if you believe the UN /s

I'm sorry is this really your whole argument for why Israel should be allowed to do war crimes?

I think you're missing my point.

Do you think the entire power grid of Gaza is run off fossil fuel generators inside of Gaza?

I'll just cut to the chase. Here, have an infographic from the UN that might be slightly out of date but will still give you a much better understanding of the situation

I don't blame social media for this one. I dk where you grew up but being from the US... our government lies to us all the fucking time.

(sorry for what I'm about to do)

'Member Iraq has WMDs? 'member Abu Ghraib? 'member Gitmo? 'member "waterboarding isn't torture"? 'member we had no warning about 9/11? 'member the "kill team" who took human body parts? 'member Iran-Contra? 'member "I am not a crook"?

And those are just the popular ones.

Oh come off it. You're all up and down these posts repeating lies about Hamas using human shields or how driving the civilians out of their homes in mass does not constitute ethnic cleansing.

Btw here's the actual definition of "ethnic cleansing"

the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society.

You argued with me that it's totally legit that the IDF isn't letting journalists verify footage of supposed Hamas atrocities but the IDF is cool with showing that footage to journalists in a private setting where they're not allowed to record anything.

You whine constantly that Al Jazeera isn't legitimate but you haven't posted a single source to debunk any of their reporting.

Post some sources of your own or sit down

Israel is already doing ethnic cleansing so... I wouldn't really call this a win
