I wonder why no other country needs this kind of affirmation? 🤔🤔🤔 hmmmmmmm what a mystery

Can you elaborate?

How do you know that?
But that’s the thing, you would be saying it’s an accident but if it happens again and again, why should anyone believe you?
I never said they wanted to kill all aid workers. They had just killed 254 by when that report came out. You don’t need to intend to kill all for it to be bad

I’m just not impressed by 500 bodies in a warzone. It doesn’t matter that they’re volunteers.
Aid workers. Protected by international law. But also it’s only about 250. I guess you are less “impressed” now as if that was the goal, lol.
500 died. Why do you ignore the tens of thousands who did not?
Yeah I broke your nose, but why are you ignoring the 205 bones I didn’t break? Hopefully you can see how stupid a thing this is to say.
Just kidding it’s because it doesn’t fit your narrative of the evil Jewish aggressor and makes you sound hysterical and idiotic.
Please show me anywhere on my entire Lemmy account where I have said anything negative about Jewish people because they are Jewish and not just because the ones in the IDF are DOING WAR CRIMES and also happen to be Jewish. I never even mention this because it does not matter. You can tell this very easily because if you do look through my account you will see me criticise Hamas for their war crimes and the US political establishment for supporting Israel’s war crimes.
I am anti asshole. Not anti Jewish.
And half of Gaza’s water infrastructure being destroyed (based on BBC satellite photos and guesswork) also does not impress me
Wasn’t trying to impress you. Just clarifying that I was not lying.
Oh no, poor Gaza. They gave all their water to terrorism and didn’t save enough for themselves.
“Gave all their water to terrorism” - do you even hear yourself? Did the malnourished children “give” their water to Hamas? I can’t even believe you’re being serious here.
And like, Jesus fucking Christ. Did you read your own article? Did you look at the photograph in the very first picture in the article that shows the water tanks clearly were not targeted by Israel?
Yeah of course I did. It’s the middle one here. How exactly does this show it’s not been targeted? And if they really aren’t targeting them, why have 53% been destroyed or damaged? Are they the worst army at aiming in the world or something?
No, of course you didn’t, because it doesn’t support your imaginary version of the evil Jew.
Are you saying I’m antisemitic for believing the FACT that Israel has damaged much of the water infrastructure in Gaza?
But you are flat out lying. Gaza has built three desalinization plants in Gaza since this war has started. Every one of them built with charity. Every one of them built with materials that Israel allowed into the country. None of the three have been bombed.

Yes two aid trucks, two accidents, neither one was covered up, the perpetrators were fired and will be prosecuted. That’s normal for war.
And did you just ignore the hundreds of killed aid workers I mentioned (and linked a source for) in my last comment? You say just “two accidents” as if that’s it.
What’s not normal is a country that needs 500 aid trucks a day. Gaza has been dependent on handouts for decades
Lol I wonder why 🤣
Wow, two trucks blown up out of how many tens of thousands of trucks?
Don’t be an idiot. They were travelling a “safe” route. They were coordinating their position with Israel. They were innocent aid workers. They should have never been killed. Making out it is fine because it’s “rare” is ridiculous.
If you want to play numbers, Israel killed 254 aid workers up to the end of April.
You don’t find your reaction a little hysterical?
“Hysterical”? No. I used no emotive language (apart from “massacre” which is generally how that event is referred to), I just listed some of the many facts that show Israel is the main problem for aid distribution. Calling this “hysterical” is a pathetic rhetorical trick to make out that that everyone else is “emotional” and you are “rational.” It’s embarrassing.
Hysterical would be: OMG those innocent aid workers were BUTCHERED by Israel, brutally killed in the prime of their life. This is the worst crime imaginable, can you think of how their parents feel?! These people are monsters, MONSTERS. Worse than Hitler. Like Satan himself. If you didn’t cry about this you are SCUM.
I said they “were killed.”
Totally emotionless.
What? There is less aid than before the war because there is a war. How does that not make sense to you?
It’s totally possible to designate actual safe zones for humanitarian purposes and give these people aid. And “because there is a war” there is much more need for humanitarian aid. Because Israel has destroyed food production, water desalination plants and much more. But obviously you know that.
Israel increased the demand for aid, killed people distributing aid, stops much of the aid from getting in, and makes it impossible to safely get it (e.g. flour massacre) and you have the gall to say they “want” aid in. Give us a fucking break.
From here
Around 500 trucks with aid and other commercial supplies were entering Gaza daily before the conflict, when the enclave was also able to produce much of its food through agriculture and fishing, both of which have nearly entirely ceased.
UNRWA communications director Juliette Touma said both humanitarian and commercial supplies were needed for Gaza because the entire population was now dependent on handouts, which was not sustainable.
Down from 500 to 100 to 200 a day. Rarely (like in the linked story) more, often much less. Never 500 since October, despite calls from around the world.
This is why you fall back on pretending everyone arguing with you is overly emotional or just stupid. The facts are staring all of us in the face and we see it too clearly. You want to pretend this is “normal” but have to really double down in the face of such overwhelming evidence.
Is there a minimum “rate” for a genocide, then?
In the year 1,000,000 and a 1/2, humankind was enslaved by giraffes
Israel actually does care about getting aid into the country
Is this why there was the flour massacre and many others around that time, and why the WCK aid workers were killed? Oh yeah and why they said they were stopping all food and water? And why there is much less aid coming in than there was before the war even started, when the need was much lower?
Words are cheap. Israel’s actions speak volumes.
Yeah I understand now, apologies for the mistake
I just reported two more. Lots more coming your way soon I’m sure, lol
Edit: sorry you’re right, I think I can just still see them on sync
You are free to explain why someone is denying genocide. You are not free to make that accusation because you do not know the reasoning behind their statements. People have the right to disagree that something is happening and be wrong.
So all the people (including YourPrivatHater) who accuse others of being antisemitic are also breaking this rule, aren’t they?
They do not know the reasoning behind the statement that prompted the accusation and it is very uncivil to say that. How can that be different?
You really just didn’t engage with the question/point at all huh?
I literally did none of that.
If a neighbouring state blew up your house, killing your children and your wife, would you be more or less likely to commit violent acts against them?
This will not keep Israel safe. It will only create further generations that hate them.
If we only count instances like these we see from Israel, where an innocent person is literally used as a shield and not just sat at home or something, how many cases of Hamas using human shields actually are there?
If you take a country “back to the stone age” it absolutely requires attacks on civilian infrastructure.
So any country that respects international law and human life could not in good conscience give them weapons or support to do this.
Gosh I wonder what Biden will do…
