They were already Hamas for identifying Israel as an apartheid state prior to Oct 7.
Double Hamas now.
Oh shit not the double
It's almost like Israel is a genocidal colonial state.
I mean, if you take off the blindfold.
Fuck Israel.
More than 122 journalists and media workers have been killed in Gaza since the outbreak of the war.
Hamas-run Amnesty International
I know you're joking but many would say this being serious, so I'd encourage you to indicate your sarcasm.
sir or madam this is a hexbear you are on
Does it really matter. when a country Like South Africa puts a solid case before the ICJ with solid documented proof about all genocidal attacks on civilians. The ICJ and the international community prefers to look away. and instead tells Israel to be more careful "next time", as if what has been committed isn't already enough.
Did you actually read the ICJ report, or are you copying someone else?
Because the incredibly detailed, balanced report does not say Israel is committing genocide, yet theses are the only two words from the report I ever see repeated.
Among other things, it states:
-
there are significant concerns from both sides on human right issues, war crime and individual conduct.
-
there are credible claims that Israels actions can amount to genocide, and a call for a pause to conflict so claims can be investigated. Noting that 1, individual actions aren't genocide, Israel has legal defenses on some that are claimed to be genocide that are being debated (namely attacks on civilian infrastructure and blocking aid).
-
Hamas is using civilian structures to conduct its own operations, putting civilians at risk.
-
Israel is destroying structures hamas is using, which is not a war crime. Notably, Hamas is a designated terrorist organization and its militants are not protected citizens anywhere, including hospitals and temples.
-
Hamas should immediately release all hostages unconditionally.
Two words from a massive detailed report. Noting on Hamas issues, nothing on Israel actions that are still being debated, nothing on the call to release all hostages immediately. If you want to discuss the best report to come out of this conflict, discuss it in its entirety and context - stop cherry picking facts that support your narrative.
Did you actually read the ICJ report, or are you copying someone else? [...] report does not say Israel is committing genocide [...] stop cherry picking facts that support your narrative.
South Africa Full Case Application Against Israel
CTRL F "114." "117." "118." "119."
Every accusation is a confession.
They are tying their tongues in knots when the answer to South Africa's case is really simple. Israel "IS COMITTING GENOCIDE" and it should stop.
there are significant concerns from both sides on human right issues, war crime and individual conduct.
it is Like saying we have heard you but Israel needs to finish the job here. So here is a token for All of you Allies Of Israel, Let's All act concerned about Human rights violations and respecting international law so we can buy them more Time. and if any faction of your citizens criticize your inaction, you can refer to our decision as we are the sole jurors of international law.
I'm shocked. Shocked.
Well not that shocked.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Human rights group Amnesty International said four sites hit by Israel in separate targeted attacks in Rafah that killed 95 civilians — including 42 children — were not lawful military targets, accusing Israel of direct war crimes for indiscriminate attacks.
The organization also alleged that Israel did not notify or warn civilians ahead of the strikes and that three of the attacks were carried out at night when families were likely to be asleep.
Netanyahu said Palestinian militant group Hamas, which Israel is vowing to destroy in response to the deadly attack Oct. 7, is hiding battalions in Rafah.
In the investigation, Amnesty International found at one site a GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb, a precision-guided weapon that is made in the U.S. by defense contractor Boeing.
President Biden has circumvented Congress twice to provide Israel with emergency military aid, to the ire of some Democrats.
Amnesty International documented the rubble at each of the sites and interviewed 18 Palestinians, including survivors of the attack, and analyzed the buildings with satellite imagery.
