The photos I added were BEFORE Hamas decided to start a genocide. They clearly show that Gaza was far from a "prison camp". That is a shibboleth that needs to be ignored.  All you have are useless video clips of mouthy idiots who don't know the reality on the ground, or (like you) who choose to ignore it. 

 

What prison camps have hotels, car dealers, ice cream shops, hair dressers, cafes, gyms.....  

 

You are pushing a false narrative that has its dark roots in anti-semitism.

Camp implies tents and squalor.  I am sure there are some slums in Gaza, as in any urban area. Yet there are/were also some rather posh areas. With hotels, beachfront cafes, and the like. The impression some try to give is that it is the equivalent of Auschwitz on the Med.  Completely untrue.

Here is the Facebook page of Panda Mall, a shopping center in Gaza. Locals don't like it because it takes business away from street vendors, but the upper class folks in Gaza prefer malls to markets.

Show as many pics as you want.

 

Gaza was illegally occupied since 1967 and illegally under siege since 2006 meaning all access by land, air or sea was under strict Israeli control.

Peaceful protests were brutally stopped for example by shooting Palestinian kids to disable them.

 

You might want to google 42 kneecaps, the record in 24 hours proudly reported by a true war hero of ISrael.

Western entertainment industry successfully brainwashed us with so many middle eastern villains.

But not this time.

 

For 2 years the world could watch a genocide live on their smart phones while the West pathetically tried to hide it, by suppressing protests and keep repeating the old dusty lies on TV.

 

And the world will not forget.

Nice moving of the goalposts. Don't wanna get shot, stay off the border fence. Go back to the Panda Mall and have some ice cream. 

 

In your open air prison ..

 

And a genocide where only 100 people a day are killed? Give me a break. The IDF could have added three zeroes to that if their goal was genocide.

If you want to call it something else that's up to you. But worldwide experts have called it genocide.

Did you really just say "only 100 people a day are killed?" Do you realize that you are talking about 100 murdered people everyday for 2 years and ongoing by the way.

You say that as if it is just a petty triviality.

100 lives wiped out everyday.

I wonder if you would say the same if some country would murder 17,000 US citizens every day for 2 years straight.

Only 100 people. Good Lord.

What happened to humanity?

Are you aware that we are talking about the 2 year long war Israel has unleashed on Gaza since October 7 in 2023.

So your grafic is not proving anything.

Not 100 murdered people. One hundred people killed in a war. Many of whom were combatants.

 

A war initiated by the government that those people CHOSE to give power, chose to keep in power.  Hamas became part of the infrastructure of Gaza through the tacit or overt cooperation of the Gazan populace. What else would explain Hamas HQs being located in hospitals, and weapons depots in schools?

 

 It is a remarkably low number.

You mean the war Hamas unleashed on Gaza by massacring, raping, and kidnapping innocent civilians in the soveriegn territory of a neighboring country?

And again you are confusing Genocide as mass murder.

 

you've forgotten destruction of habitat and services, starvation by way of siege.  These are all types of Genocide.

 

92% destruction of habitat is CLEARLY Genocide.

You read the Guardian, I see.


And again, whose fault is that? Israel didnt start the war. They have no malicious intent, other than to kill terrorists and make their country safe from attack.  If they had such intent, it would be over by now. The IAF would not drop leaflets before bombing Hamas facilities. But it fits your narrative to blame Israel so you choose to ignore all that.

Well, that is a point in your favour.

 

But MY point still stands. There is no genocide because there is no intent. Pretty simple. But the term is just being used as a convenient slur and a way to stop actual discussion of the situation.

You can't claim "no intent".

 

It's a matter of public record Israel's PM stated that intent.  It was exactly this reason that South Africa referred his case.

Bullfeathers.

 

If there were genocidal intent, then Gaza would be a parking lot.  Would have been within a week of October 7.  Given the crowding and Hamas embedding itself among civilians, it is a miracle that MORE people have not been killed. It is a tribute to the humanity and professionalism of the IDF that casualties are so low.

 

Remember, in WW2 100,000 people were killed in a single bombing strike on a single night. The Israelis could easily mimic that level of butchery, but have chosen not to do so.

Yet again, you are confusing Genocide with extermination of a population.

 

It's about destruction of habitat, services and enforced starvation by way of siege.  Netanyahu stated that intent and (spookily enough) that's what has happened.

Not exactly. Destruction of habitat and services MUST be with the intent to bring about the death of the population in question, according to the UN definition. Destruction done in an effort to kill terrorists does not match the definition.

 

Again intent is the key. There would be no damage to Gaza if Hamas had not attacked.  The damage is a result of Hamas, not of Netanyahu or Israel.

Leftist forum. No matter how good your argument is this place never changes. It might take a muslim takeover of european countries to wake the majority up

Are you seriously suggesting 92% destruction of habitat was done in an effort to kill terrorists?

 

That is complete nonsense.
