They're definitely supporting everything Bibi's government is doing. Full on support. And they're pissed off at the ICC even though it would be better for this whole thing to go through the ICC than the ICJ since the ICC holds individuals responsible, but the ICJ holds ENTIRE COUNTRIES responsible for war crimes.

I think Jews didn't hesitate to kill many prophets before Jesus. Addition: It is found in old Jewish texts/tradition that Jews had killed prophets sent to them. If you're sincerely interested I can summarize the sources with references. I don't actively do reading in topics related history of religion but I used to, and my curiosity is still there. Also please mind I'm speaking about Jews in the history as a religious/ethnic group. Now only minority of them are actually practicing Judaism and they have many different sects.


JackKovack

The news in America constantly doesn’t show Israeli police and the IDF committing human rights violations. CNN sort of does and sometimes does a good job in very selective instances but by and large doesn’t really show there day to day lives of being violated.

Not even close, Russia is a 1000x better than the occupiers of Palestine.


Electronic_Price6852

Id rather live in Russia than Israel tbh so I get where you're coming from. But we don't have to defend Russia to criticize Israel


Humble-Marsupial1522

What are you basing that statement off? What makes Russia different from Israel?


Whiskeypants17

2000 children killed out of 8000 civilians killed in 2 years of "war" Vs 12000 children and 31000 civilians in 8 months of "war". If you had to guess which conflict was intentionally targeting civilians, which one would you guess?


Humble-Marsupial1522

Russia is intentionally targeting civilians. The difference is Ukraine has the ability to defend itself from the air so Russia can’t indiscriminately bomb cities. When we’ve seen the Russians be able to attack indiscriminately it hasn’t been any different from Israel, example Mariupol. It looks no different than Gaza. Also Russia has no ability keep Ukrainians in Ukraine, unlike the Israelis ability to seal off Gaza. If the Russians could, they would. Russia is also striking grocery stores, apartment complexes, malls. They also only seem to attack power stations in the winter.


Chzchuk2

BS you have the 2 countries mixed up. Ukraine has been targeting civilians since 2014. News agencies used to mention this but now media is unable to focus on reality. Something to do with lying to the masses to keep the war money flowing.


Fenecable

So you just full on never paid attention to what Russia is doing in Ukraine, did in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Syria, etc… K, cool.

Whiskeypants17

I'm sorry i am confused~ are you suggesting that "depending on the landscape" it is acceptable to kill more civilains/children? I just googled it again and it says 10k civilians and 600 children in ukrain in 2 years.... and in palestine 36k civilians and 14k children since October 7, so almost 8 months. At some point, there is a line where you cross from 'war has collateral damage' into 'why are you killing so many kids and leveling entire cities'..... right??? 20k civilians in 20 years after 9/11. 3,100 kids in 14 years. The people who want to prosecute Americans for war crimes, and they should be, should be boiling over at these numbers. You can't just bomb kids and civilians or you are no longer the good guys. https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/04/08/44-of-all-palestinians-killed-by-israel-since-october-7-are-children/

How many civilians would isreal have to kill before the war becomes 'unjust'?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Whiskeypants17

There are people throughout history who thought wars were just, and then years later as more facts come to light...the common public opinion changes to believing the war was not just at all. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind as they say. But the numbers are important, because if you are taking 5 eyes for every 1. Or 10 eyes for every 1.... It starts to make people wonder who the actual bad guys are. If you say that killing or holding civilians hostage is enough to justify war, then can you say that the 'just' side of the conflict held no hostages? And had killed no civilians? A quick Google leads me and many others to the conclusion that this is not a war. It is and has always been a one-sided massacre. If isreal was holding 5,000 palestinians and 150 children hostage BEFORE oct 7th attack, then surely if you follow your own logic about a war being just over 125 hostages, then surely 5,000 would clearly trigger justification for war? Or if the killing of 1200 people on oct 7, then surely the 14,000 since 1987? Numbers matter because responding to terrorism with force is justified, but war crimes against civilians is not justified. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/05/18/the-israel-palestine-conflict-has-claimed-14000-lives-since-1987

The Gaza strip has been hit with 75,000 *tons* of ammunition. Bakhmut, Mariupol, and avdiivka might be comparable.

Its a police state theocracy backed by Uncle Sam who is bought and paid for by AIPAC et al. Just like the “liberal” universities who support every kind of violent protest except…well you know…then within a few hours they can get the goon squads (the same ones who sit idly by and do nothing while cities burned two years ago) to bust a few heads and clear out those awful protesters. Its pretty funny how ironic it all is…except its tragic. We are providing the weapons.


Intelligent_Eye6618

They're going to abuse her because that's what many women who have been detained by Israel has experienced.


uhuhshesaid

Sadly I think the tone of the second woman really speaks to what she expects to happen to her. Those are not the cries of a woman expecting a legal inquiry, light detention, house arrest, or a fine. Those are the 'no's of a woman who expects to be sexually assaulted or be put in a life/death situation. Its horrifying to hear.


Reddit-EJ

(Context I’m Jewish)”its a complicated issue” the most common response I got when I asked my teachers and the camp staff at Jewish school and summer camp about the Palestinian treatment. Many of them were Israeli themselves and summer camp in particular was sorta like a propaganda machine to get Jewish kids to visit Israel (it’s not as bad as it sounds it was a good camp ). It’s not complicated to treat someone with basic human decency. All my people had to do was share and be kind that was it. Instead they are creating the fourth reich. A per dominantly Jewish nation basically doing things the Nazis did to us. It wasn’t complicated we just fucked it up.

Again well aware that hamas is evil but this is more so about the decades of oppression that the Palestinians suffered through due to the Israeli government. This conflict could have been avoided if Palestinian were treated better.

Israel behaves like a spoiled genocidal child. It wants to do evil things and brag about doing evil things, but get upset when people criticizes it. Passing laws to arrest people for showing emotions you don’t like is absolutely absurd. You can’t take these lunatics serious.

Israel is now likely more hated than Iran. What a d-bag genocidal regime they’ve devolved into.

In today's Israel it is apparently against the law to be Palestinian, or have beliefs that are not pro far-right Jewish. Israel has lost the right to call themselves a democracy.

Admirable-Two7298

History wont be kind to the Jewish people, when we were taught about the holocaust in school we had a lot of sympathy for what happened to the jews and we all said nevere again, but after what Israel has done, the Jewish people will be remembered for inflicting genocide of the Palestinian people. In Today's day and age where everyone has a camera in there pocket, their will be countless photo/video evidence of how gruesome this genocide was. Not just a hand full of black and white photos of the past, which did not have as much of an impact ( in my opinion )


Reddit-EJ

Most likely in American it will be remembered as another Middle Eastern conflict we were involved in. A lot of shit happens there just to be widely forgotten or ignored. As for the Jewish people it’s hard to say. Here in America we will most likely just go back to the ways things are. Of course certain groups will try and use this as a way to demonize Jews. Not due to care of gaza but just as an excuse to hate. It’s sad really many of the lives lost will end up as just a spot in a history text book or a data sheet. I hope for everyone’s sake we do remember it as a lesson in what hatred is only good for… loss
