“While in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20s and early 30s, in front of their family members,” said the UN body.

 

The women and children were then confined to a room where they were subjected to violence, with some sustaining serious injuries, the OHCHR said.

 

“The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child,” it said.

You don't condemn the execution of 11 unarmed Palestinians?

I absolutely condemn the execution 11 unarmed Palestinians, unless of course they had first been convicted of crimes punishable by death.

 

What were they convicted of?

Who executed them?

 

Who wrote that headline anyway? Are executioners known to arm people before executing them? Is it supposed to be more sporting or what? If they are in fact being excecated, are they not by definition unarmed? I'm betting it's the same no-nothings that write genocide in the headline when a small percentage of the civilian population is killed when military targets are destroyed.

1% of the Gazan population has been killed. Is that small?  Do you have a link to any court case which convicted them?

The so called peace with Jordan and Egypt is just that a piece of paper and more of the cessation of hostilities agreement,

you have Lebanon who allowed Iran to set up a large terrorist base on the borders with Israel, you have Syria who has

the same as well as Russian and Iranian 'advisers' you have the hornet nests of Gaza and the west bank where 80% of

the Palestinians there has support and approval of Hamas deeds, and that the so called Palestinian authorities who are zero

in trying to control the populations there...

Oh, so just be more careful, hilarious. Another DEI general

These were the comments from  Lloyd Austin

DEI? Really? Apparently, with you, anti-semitism bad, racism against black people not so much.

Makes a huge difference to the military strategy of any force, air strikes are always carried out first for a reason. That’s why Austin specifically stated that he was not dictating a timeline or terms.

Easy.

You're openly rabidly anti Zionist. 

Zionism simply means a liberation movement of political self determination for the Jewish people realized in the foundation of the sovereign nation state of Israel.

Anti Zionism equals opposing the existence of the state of Israel.

Yes even a very small percentage of Jews are anti Zionist as well.

Cheers.

I'm opposed to your nonsense, disregard of facts and non-sequiturs (see above).

 

There are allegations. This does not make them facts, regardless of your comments.

There's a call on Israel to investigate matters. That's how the process goes, you disregard it

An ICC investigation comes (if at all) after steps are exhausted. You jump the gun.

This have nothing to do with court case, convictions and so on.

No, he's not "the one" claiming what supremacists are the biggest threat to US national security. But you are the one who raised the issue of Austin's race..

As for the "anti-semitism good" charge, as per usual, your gratuitous nastiness makes no sense.

To be honest with you, really, really honest? no one in Oz like those reg heads, Arabs, sub continent and the multitude of jetsam and flotsam that populated Australia in the last ten years, Aussies love their country just as it was, but with a Labour's

You really have no idea what Israel should do differently, and then post a link to some that virtue signaling pablum about how they should just be a little more careful.

Do you remember who it was? In any event, I do not remember them being taken to task for it, and thing it was loudly applauded. 

 

Believing people like General Austin, Kamala Harris, Clauding Gay or even President Obama would have gotten where they did without being black or at least semi-black is not racist.

I'm an oz and I like both equally. You're spreading BS. There's a lot of sympathy for Palestinians and for Israelis in Australia. That's the problem with the far right. They think everyone shares the same ideology.

Not true. The rich, virtue-signaling leftist elites that never have to suffer the consequences of their ideology love them, and that's all that matters. 

 

And they'll make sure everyone knows that they are oppressed, and that only their racist colonialist oppressors don't love them, and that all cultures are equivalent and good except western culture which is racist, colonialist, greedy capitalist, white supremacist sh*t that must be torn down.

Incidentally, Hamas are Palestinians, and most Palestinians support Hamas and what Hamas did and continues to do. 

There really isn't much to say. I couldn't believe an 'academic' would come out with this. Left it for others to make up their own minds. I agree with what you say, Palestinians haven't got much choice in who fights for them. Hezbollah are Lebanon based and Houthi are in the Yemen.
