So what? They are free to use whatever weapons they have. Ironically, restricting US weapons transfers would make it more likely the Israelis would use more older weapons.
It's not a thousand-year tribal dispute. It started after WWI with a wave of pan-Arab nationalism and rejection of everything non-Islamic in MENA and all over the Muslim world, even in Indian Muslim communities. What works in Germany and Japan doesn't work in Gaza.
"Nobody should dehumanize millions", said the armchair justice warrior, while dehumanizing millions of Israelis... Kewl.
Uh, that is pointing out your hypocrisy, not dehumanizing anyone. Pointing out how a group views another group as sub human is not dehumanizing. I think you are mixing up what words mean. And the second one is a comment about you, not Israelis. They have literally made tiktok videos of themselves wearing lingerie they found in Palestinian houses before blowing up the house, and it sounds like something you would enjoy.
The first stage of the dehumanizing process: hinting at the subpar intelligence or morality of a group Personal insults. Out of arguments already? Link to Israeli soldiers wearing lingerie?
It appears as though the surrounding region views Jews, Christians, atheists, gay people, non-Muslims, and those critical of religion/government as people that shouldn't exist. While I tend to doubt tiktok as a source, Im sure you can find things worthy of criticism and apply it to all. That is a sweeping generalization fallacy. The total sub of both sides equals one that doesn't allow minorities to exist, and the other that has to fight for their existence.
Or about Isreali massacres in Palistinian refugee camps, or the sanctioned attacks on Palistinian civilians in the West Bank, not to mention the accelerated land theft.
De humanizing Palistinians is a core trope in current Israeli propoganda. They’ll have you believing that every Palistinian is HAMAS, and even if they aren’t, they deserve to die. Which is why Israel is starving civilians in Gaza.
What if the group really does have a low IQ average, and high rates of crime and illegitimacy? Shouldn't it be acceptable to point that out?
Citation? Exactly what I expected. There's no context, no proof of anything you and the author of the article claim. You said that soldiers wear lingerie belonging to Palestinian women whose houses they destroy. I don't see soldiers wearing lingerie, nor houses where lingerie was found being destroyed. Try again.
False. There was no occupation prior to the attack. They are allowed to exist while the surrounding region has been cleansed of Jews, Christians, atheists, gay people, non-Muslims, and those critical of religion/government. Gaza civilians are suffering because their leadership hated Jews more than they care about their own people.
I am talking about averages and tendencies, not absolute differences. Stereotypes are over generalizations of what is really true. So, should it not be acceptable to draw attention to how races differ in average intelligence and behavior?
Exactly! When Palestinians kill, rape, kidnap women and children it is a freedom fight, when Jews respond to such attack, it is genocide.
The best way to understand differences between groups is physically being with members of such groups for a while. British lords who breathe one of the most advanced cultures in the world since birth on one end of the trip, and small East European villages on the other end. Secular and atheist groups in big European cities on one end, and profoundly religious groups in poor villages on the other. All of them white Europeans. Then we'll talk about averages and behavior.
No, but Israel blocked the borders and held all Palistinians in Gaza hostage to their will. Denying them access to other countries, and opportunities for trade. Most of what you say about the area being “clensed” will have to be documented. Meanwhile, Isreal has not lost one square inch of territory, and has announced its intention to hold onto Gaza, even as it agressively pushes settlements on the West Bank, and looks the other way when Zionist miliatias attack the people who live there. Ethnic cleaning and genocide are hard to hide. Israel is making a valiant effort, blocking any third party media access to report from there, leaving the world to take Israel’s word for it. When the inevitable happens, and the world gets a good look at what Israel has wrought, the general disgust with Israel’s war of mass murder and military occupation will be even more evident than it is now. Israel is still crying over the 1700 they lost on the first day. But the 30,000 they have killed (very few of whom were Hamas), are subhuman deserve to die. Or so the hard core Zionists and their bloodthirsty rhetoric would have you believe. This is mass murder, and indiscriminate killing on a level not seen since the end of WWII. And now that Netanyahuhu has made the territory grab official,
