Morch Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 8 minutes ago, Thorgal said: You can compare latest Gaza bombings (4.000 tons) by IAF with the 1945 Dresden bombings (3.900 tons) between 13 and 15 February. Only difference is that the RAF and USAF used also incendiary bombs. Some 3.600 targets have been bombed by IAF this week in Gaza. With 4 x MK84 guided smart bombs per F16 per exit they cover +/- 500 exits per day or 3 to 4 exits per F16 pilot/day. Apparently, they also use the +/- 340 kgs - M117 (from Korean war) dumb bombs on Gaza. Still people want to do their best to convince me that this isn't "carpet bombing" or systematically bombing populated grid/areas with +/- 1.000 kgs bombs. If so, how come the casualty lists are not much longer? Could it be anything with you're 'account' of things being incorrect? Or maybe that Gazans have more common sense than to listen to Hamas leadership and clear south? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic Well Danny, you certainly seem obsessed with the number of Palestinians killed and injured ( not so much so with Israeli casualties) Is that why in an earlier comment you said it was right for Hamas to prevent civilians from evacuating an imminent battlefield, so that they could stay there and improve the death toll statistics to criticise the IDF with ….. shameful, really shameful. You even had the temerity to say that Palestinians prefer to stay in their own land and die for it (as if you have some right to speak for them) even though by the hundreds of thousands they are desperately trying to leave on IDF advice …. the most shameful use of human tragedy to score political points that I have witnessed on this forum. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's maybe what the Palestinians say, on past rounds of fighting they routinely inflated casualty figures, and claimed all were civilians - sometimes having to backpedal when caught. Doubt this will be any different. Already linked reports to specific Hamas military leaders being targeted, and in one case captured.

Really? Can I borrow your logic and ask what if Hamas levelled a residential tower in Tel Aviv? That would not be described as deliberate targeting of innocent civilians? I guess I'll have to repeat again - what people imagine international law is on such matters, and what it actually is are distinct things. As for no warning etc. - if you say so.... I an sure that carrying out this numbers of sorties would include at least some which can be later prosecuted, there's always that. But as for wholesale labeling of everything Israel does as a war crime etc. - that's probably not going to hold. I will tell you this, though, putting your bunker right next to a hospital, or placing an arms depot under a school are definitely not allowed. Don't see you airing much issues with Hamas placing their facilities among residents to begin with. Think how much less destruction and loss of life this could save, eh? As for your Tel Aviv example, it's simple - each and every time Hamas launches a rocket, no matter if it hits - that's a war crime. See, you can't launch indiscriminate armaments against civilian populations. While it may sound like the exact opposite of deliberate targeting, it's considered in a similar manner. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was that if things were as that poster claimed, the death toll would have been higher. Don't twist my words and meaning. You do realize that the Hamas managed to inflict about half that number of casualties, in a day, right? Israel's aerial campaign is going on for about a week now. If Israel was on a rampage, again, the death toll would be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomper Higgot Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Here’s a question to everyone, but particularly to @Morch because you are at least addressing issues not emotions. I think we would all agree that the success of Hamas’ obscene terrorist attack (and it was without doubt an obscenity) was due in no small part to the failure of Israeli Intelligence Services to detect the rising threat and/or Israeli Military/Political Leadership to respond to any warnings given. It is perhaps enticing to accept the argument that the Hamas attack (obscene as it was) was cunning, audacious and lucky. There are rational arguments that Israel should be cautious in its military response, particularly ground invasion, given the demonstrated failures of Israeli Intelligence. Implicit in that view is the acceptance that the success or failure of a military action is to a significant extent predetermined by the quality of the available intelligence. Which shines a spot light on the elephant in the room. Here are two questions deserving of consideration. I’m sure someone in Israel is either considering these questions or not doing their job: Q1. Was the success of the (obscene) Hamas terrorist attack predicated on accurate Intelligence available to Hamas? Q2. If so where did this accurate Intelligence come from and how did it make its way to Hamas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shameful on me to criticise the IDF? It's shameful and criminal behavior for the IDF to issue an evacuation order for 1.1 million human beings or risk being bombed. It seems you have no problem with such a threat to civilian population. They should not be given this criminal binary choice go away or die. IDF is not issuing this criminal threat out of concern for Palestinian lives, far from it. They just want to move the entire population of Gaze closer to Egypt where they might be ending in a tent city in Sinai on the Egyptian side of the border as happened after 1796 and 1948 wars. Mass displacement of innocent civilians is a crime under international law which Israel does not give a toss about as long as the American master holds the Veto right. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
