Yes, holding hostages is a war crime and Hamas are doing that. I think everyone here agrees that Hamas are a blood thirsty terrorist group. You seem to be saying the Palestinians are Hamas. Would you like to clarify? -
Well that, you tell us, is the view of Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization. What about you Brian, how many civilian deaths do you think is acceptable?
-
I must go back and review the discussion on ‘watch the [edited] video’
-
I certainly don’t. Which is yet another reason to permit the world’s news organizations to send their journalists into Gaza. Let’s have a view independent of Hamas and Israel. Any arguments against that?
-
Have you got a link to how many civilian casualties is acceptable?
-
Because you think women and children facing starvation is a cheap point scoring prop. But hey, when the ‘carnage’ starts ‘they have no reason to protest’.
-
You’re hiding behind semantics. And adjusting your argument as it gets challenged.
-
The IRA absolutely did attack within the UK, both in NI and the mainland, they also took hostages, murdered captives. And settled the conflict by means of negotiation. There are a great many lessons to lean from that conflict, including it is possible to combat terrorist in an urban environment without mass civilian casualties and deeply divided sectarian conflict can end by means of negations.
-
You are. Perfect, Israel has not created a gold standard in civilian casualties. But with the on going carnage they are working on it.
-
Yep, The civilians in NI had citizenship and the political at sympathies of the U.S. The Palestinians have neither of these things.
-
To be fair to the Israelis. I have every expectation they would minimize civilian casualties if the murderous Hamas were holed up in a crowded Israeli neighborhood.
-
It’s got a lot to do with the claim the Israelis created a gold standard. Clearly they did not.
-
The British fought one of the worlds most effective terrorist organizations for decades, killing a tiny fraction of the civilians the Israelis have. Claims of ‘Israeli gold standard’ are clearly not a reality.

Thanks for the laugh. I spat my cup of tea reading that. https://cpj.org/reports/2023/05/deadly-pattern-20-journalists-died-by-israeli-military-fire-in-22-years-no-one-has-been-held-accountable/amp/

You posted a link Brian. Why does asking you about the reliability of the source you posted cause you so much anguish?
-
That ignores the fact that the IDF is one of the combatant parties and therefore obviously biased and obviously has an interest in distorting the truth in their favor. But don’t worry, there is a remedy. Allow the world’s news media to send their own journalists into Gaza to report independently of both Israel and Hamas on what is happening in Gaza. Oh…. But Israel won’t permit that either.
-
Dodging my question Brian. You’ve cited an IDF claim, I’m asking: ”Do you think the IDF is a reliable source on the matter or might they have an interest in distorting the truth?” We’ll get to the ‘the IDF evidence’ after you’ve answered the question.

What do court documents say?

Having access to is one thing. Being fed propaganda and misinformation by algorithms designed to target people’s emotions and emotional engagement is something else. I do feel it important to look at the reality of how the internet and social media is being used to manipulate people, it’s not negativity to do so.

And propagandists have access to everyone on social media.
