The act of genocide does not mean you have to wipe out everyone, it means you have the intent to.

Plenty of evidence that you ignore that the IDF do exactly that which you claim they dont. The iDF, however, with their indiscriminate bombings in Gaza, has also shown they do not distinguish Memo to the 'Experts': Stop Comparing Israel's War in Gaza to Anything. It Has No Precedent | Opinion The truth is that Israel has painstakingly followed the laws of armed conflict and implemented many steps to prevent civilian casualties, despite enormous challenges. Israel's military faced over 30,000 Hamas militants in over 400 miles of defensive and offensive tunnels embedded in and under civilian areas, populations and protected sites such as hospitals, mosques, schools, and United Nations facilities across multiple cities. Hamas' strategy is to use Palestinian civilians as human shields, because their goal is not to defeat Israel's military or to hold terrain; it is far more sinister and medieval—to use the death and suffering of Palestinian civilians to rally international support to their cause and demand that Israel halt their war. https://www.newsweek.com/memo-experts-stop-comparing-israels-war-gaza-anything-it-has-no-precedent-opinion-1868891

Check again: And one can't watch videos of innocent Israelis being hunted down on a Saturday morning at a party and not pause to think for a moment at the hatred and the cruelty that underpinned those attacks. These acts that we saw on the 7th of October are not acts that accord with our humanity. They are acts that are repugnant to any person that believes in God. They're the most un-Islamic acts and cannot be committed in the name of a religion whose very name is peace. As I stated five days after the attacks that took place on the 7th of October, we have jurisdiction over crimes committed by the nationals of state parties. And therefore that jurisdiction continues over any Rome Statute crimes committed by Palestinian nationals or the nationals of any state parties on Israeli territory, if that is proven. And whilst Israel is not a member of the ICC, I stand ready to work with state parties and non-state parties alike in pursuit of accountability. My primary and indeed my only objective must be to achieve justice for the victims and to uphold my own solemn declaration under the Rome Statute as an independent prosecutor, impartially looking at the evidence and vindicating the rights of victims whether they are in Israel or Palestine. https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-icc-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-cairo-situation-state-palestine-and-israel

That's a ridiculous position to take, Oct 7th was a genocidal act whether it could finish the job or not. Their repeated statements that they will do it again and again are further proof.

You fail to see intent in actions. Hamas has intend when it murders and carries out its atrocities. It is proud of those actions to the point that it broadcasts them worldwide. Israel is defending itself from Hamas the terrorists, it wants to wipe out Hamas not civilians. Hamas makes no such distinction and you know it.

Another one who can't tell the difference between ICJ and ICC. You do realize that the Chief Prosecutor of ICC has already visited Israel in regards to this? Nov 30 (Reuters) - International Criminal Court (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan is visiting Israel at the request of Israeli survivors and the families of victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks from Gaza, the court said on Thursday. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/icc-prosecutor-visit-israel-request-oct-7-hamas-attack-victims-2023-11-30/

Hamas are terrorists intend on genocidal acts on Israel, they will not stop until they are crushed. Taking hostages, murdering them, abusing and raping them should show you the animals that Israel is dealing with here. You talk of the hostages as bargaining chips. Back to your fiction book writing. This is reality.

I take it you've got a problem reading the OP. They have taken the case to the ICC, not the ICJ. The ICC can issue arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas. Yes, I'm sure sitting on the naughty step is all you'd wish for.

Horrific While you are reading this, 134 hostages are being held captive in Gaza in horrific conditions. They are being starved. Emotionally and physically abused. Denied medical care. For 134 men, women, children and their families, time has stood still since October 7th. Every minute counts.

Yes a great employer for Hamas terrorists and their propaganda

I stopped before finishing your first sentence, 28,000 civilian deaths?

Statement & video of the rat in his tunnel “Hamas leaders, wherever they are hiding, should know they are on borrowed time.” Watch the full statement by IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari:

Video snippet here on an interview with an expert and the realities of urban warfare. Full vid about 12 mins long here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erw8GSvr9Tw Maj. (Ret.) John Spencer (@SpencerGuard), Author of “Understanding Urban Warfare” speaks with i24NEWS about the IDF’s ground operation from an expert’s perspective

Well that's the second typo you made and the second time you claimed it was correct. No this is not about points but it is about facts where numbers matter, they matter a lot the the families waiting at home.

What? This started because you said there was only 34 remaining, make your mind up!

It tells you in your own link. 101 alive and the bodies of 29 that are dead!! Those dead have been dead for a long time, they are still keeping the bodies and will not return them.

Where is your source that there is only 34 remaining hostages first?

I think there are now 34. Think again and add another figure onto the 2 you have there.

Bit more on this terrorist come journo and some of the others that have already been taken out by the IDF. Hopefully this new one will be in their sights. Last month, two Al Jazeera journalists killed in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah were later accused by the IDF of being members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups. Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza correspondent Wael Al-Dahdouh, and Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP who was also working for the Qatar-based TV outlet, were both killed in the January incident. A third journalist, Hazem Rajab, was seriously wounded, Al Jazeera said. https://www.timesofisrael.com/al-jazeera-journalist-is-also-a-hamas-commander-idf-says/

Just imagine minding your own business in Gaza before this war started. Getting on with life, working, buying a plot of land, building a house. Then Hamas the terrorists come along and decide to build a tunnel under it. Before you know it the IDF on their battles across Gaza then discover it and blow it up. This family did just that, and Hamas built the tunnel under their house to store weapons etc in case Israel invaded. "Since Hamas’s violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, the bustling and beautiful streets I knew have been dominated by terrorist chaos." Hamas Built Tunnels Beneath My Family’s Home in Gaza. Now It Lies in Ruin We lived in my father Imad’s family building and saved money for nearly 18 years until we were able to build our own house in the north of Gaza. The first sign that Hamas was building tunnels underneath our house came in July 2013, while the house was under construction. Our soon-to-be new neighbor, Um Yazid Salha, got in touch with my mother Saadia to ask why my brother Hamza and I always come to the site after midnight. The two-story construction site was surrounded by a wall and two gates. https://time.com/6693896/hamas-tunnels-gaza-home-ruin/ https://archive.ph/AJryb

Yes. I knew. Would you like to write a topic on it and the complexities of exactly how that is done if you want the edits to stick?

I gathered that was what you were implying and one sentence of something that is widely known with a citation given to wiki was I thought enough for most, I guess I was wrong. Hope you enjoyed the video though as its back on topic

Ok mod. Here's another link to a few more Al Jazeera employees that double as terrorists.

Yes and? I can add some extra from that Wike page if you like? "Al Jazeera has also been accused of pushing Hamas propaganda, repeatedly broadcasting statements by Hamas' military and political leaders calling for a broader uprising and aligning themselves closely with Hamas' preferred language for the conflict."

Video inside his luxury tunnel hideout. Serious amounts of cash left in the safe. Watch: IDF forces have discovered and entered Hamas's leader Sinwar's very own luxurious hideout tunnel, fully loaded with food, bathrooms and showers, a kitchen, huge amounts of cash and of course, UNRWA's food bags. Sinwar, a mass murderer, will be caught. https://twitter.com/ofirgendelman/status/1757627203313910049
