Just out of curiosity - do you think you need to tag people in order for them to see your replies to them? Because you don’t.

Ah I see you’ve already rejected this publication because it’s too “bleeding heart” for you lol.
Well, I don’t have an article from Fox News or OANN, but:
https://time.com/6334409/is-whats-happening-gaza-genocide-experts/
https://theweek.com/politics/the-genocide-debate-in-gaza
The most ambiguous of those says maybe not yet, but it’s evidence that we need to act before it becomes reality.
OK thank you for your input, have a nice day!
what will not attacking targets with human shields get you? more human shields.
You know what attacking targets with “human shields” gets you? More dead innocent people. Try not to forget the “human” part of that word.
Edit: Gonna start adding this article to a lot of my replies on this topic. More people should read this and encourage this kind of future. When I figure out what sub it belongs in, I’ll post it as a thread there.
you deal with that by attacking anyway and demonstrate to the enemy that tactic does not work and will not be tolerated.
And when that doesn’t work you do it again
and again
and again
and again
and again
…
Because it’s more important to demonstrate that you absolutely will kill innocents who have been put in harm’s way in order to show Hamas (and the rest of the world) exactly what your version of justice looks like than it is to try something different.
And we’re paying attention, I can promise you that.
I was expecting a link to a story about Doctor Oz.
I wouldn’t even legitimize this bullshit pseudoscience theory by rebutting it.
I get angry all over again every time this fucker’s name comes up.
Remember the disbelief in the first few days? Look how fucking many are defending this killer’s house!
But let’s hear them, why “hide” it?
LOL ok you sure got me there. Here’s your chance to prove me wrong.
Stop now. Say “hey, we got our pound of flesh (and about 2000 more pounds too), let’s stop and figure out a path forward.”
And since Kbin doesn’t seem to want to let me upload inline images today:
I didn’t say no conditions anyone would accept, I said no conditions you are going to accept. You wouldn’t be carrying water to this level if you would.
The refugees leaving through Egypt don’t?
How could they? Reiterating my prior point:
They are killing them as fast as they think the international community will tolerate. They won’t kill them fast enough to provoke any major entity into opposing them, they will just stay firmly in the “everyone will wag their fingers at us and argue about whether it’s right” zone, which is where they sit currently.
So the fact that this leaves open the possibility that some people get to flee their homes in terror, knowing that their friends and loved ones who refuse to be chased out of their homes by Israel are likely to be killed by the IDF, is one of the things that you feel might convince me that Israel doesn’t have genocidal intent?
And what will make you believe genocide isn’t the end goal?
Clearly nothing that you’re going to accept.
That’s a false dichotomy. They are killing them as fast as they think the international community will tolerate. They won’t kill them fast enough to provoke any major entity into opposing them, they will just stay firmly in the “everyone will wag their fingers at us and argue about whether it’s right” zone, which is where they sit currently.
Even if we accept the casualty figures provided by Hamas (and I don’t)
I don’t know why you wouldn’t, unless your justification is just your own bigotry.
One snippet out of a lengthy article.
Many experts consider figures provided by the ministry reliable, given its access, sources and accuracy in past statements.
“Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.”
Shakir said Human Rights Watch would not use figures provided by parties with “a propensity to misrepresent information.”
Why news outlets and the U.N. rely on Gaza’s Health Ministry for death tolls
And another:
Throughout four wars and numerous bloody skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, U.N. agencies have cited the Health Ministry’s death tolls in regular reports. The International Committee of the Red Cross and Palestinian Red Crescent also use the numbers.
In the aftermath of war, the U.N. humanitarian office has published final death tolls based on its own research into medical records.
In all cases the U.N.’s counts have largely been consistent with the Gaza Health Ministry’s, with small discrepancies.
— 2008 war: The ministry reported 1,440 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 1,385.
— 2014 war: The ministry reported 2,310 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 2,251.
— 2021 war: The ministry reported 260 Palestinians killed; the U.N. reported 256.
What is Gaza’s Ministry of Health and how does it calculate the war’s death toll?
Ok buddy, run along now. Have a nice day!
(Also you don’t need to tag someone when you are replying to them.)
You got something to say? Come on and say it. Or were you just wanting to make some sideways passive-aggressive implications about the character of people you don’t know solely because we won’t let what Israel is doing be swept under the rug?
So we’re blindly accepting hamas death tolls now? People never learn
People never seem to learn their reputation in this regard before making comments such as yours.

A surviving child was led down the corridor, her clothes caked in dust, an expression of shock on her face.
But does she condemn Hamas?
“Don’t protest our war efforts where we are indiscriminately killing civilians, or we’ll drop you off in the middle of that area, where you’ll likely be indiscriminately killed.”
Yep. No reason not to think it isn’t just corporate greed again.
