  3. Not if you’re attempting it with some form of plausible deniability

    Edit: a word

  4. The world would have done something about 1 single mass event. This is still death, just by 1,000 cuts.

  5. The interesting thing is that little is being said about Hamas, the massacre they carried out and those who were kidnapped.

  7. He’s right tho if they full sent it this would’ve been over when it started.

    Same as fucking Russia except they grossly underestimated the world’s response plus Ukraine capabilities.

  8. That’s the reality of how much military power Israel has. Israel wouldn’t be risking their soldiers’ lives and allowing a costly war to drag on for so long unless they truly are trying to eliminate the terrorist government that Palestinians have historically supported while leaving most of the civilians alive. What are other countries doing to eliminate Hamas and to free Palestine of terrorism? With the exception of the US, to me it seems like other countries are mostly doing nothing. 

  10. I hate this man with all my heart. But yes, even a child would understand that Israel has the military capability to massacre the entire population of Gaza, maybe not in one afternoon, but certainly in two years. If it hasn’t done so, it’s because it doesn’t want to.

  11. To all of the geniuses scoffing at that: yes, it’s not the most clever statement. But it’s an important argument. If Israel has the means and opportunity, but hasn’t done anything close to genocide even with 22 months of the “most livestreamed genocide in history”, it’s a very strong case for lack of genocidal intent.

    Compare and contrast with, for example, Hamas – or the Nazis. Both basically killed as many Jews as they could, until they were physically stopped. Meticulously going village to village, door to door, porta-potty to porta-potty, making sure that the maximum of Jews is killed.

  12. That was supposed to be obvious to everyone, but I guess some people lack critical thinking.

  13. It is a pretty interesting state of affairs when you have Palestinian children who are born with terrible immunodeficiencies and cannot be treated in Palestine because their government would rather use hospitals as rocket sites and take the NGO money and give it to families that lose sons in the act of martyrdom.

    The children then get treated for their illnesses in Israel, by Jewish doctors, whom Hamas in their charter, along with all other Jews, should be wiped from the planet. The children then go back to Gaza and are used as photo props, alongside their well-fed family, and used as propaganda at how mean Israel is.

  15. Sounds a lot like a guy who says he can end wars in a 24 hrs.

  16. And would have faced worldwide retaliation. The slow method they are doing results in financing from American politicians.

  18. And in the middle ages, you could have your head chopped off, or you could be sent to the breaking wheel… one causes a lot more agony but you still end up dead.

  19. He is not wrong. If Israel wanted to kill every Palestinian, they could do it and never risk a single soldier.

  25. How is the murdering moron still in any sort of public office?

  26. “We’re taking longer because we care about cruelty”

  27. not if u dont want your allies to turn on you…he thinks we are dumb and he is half right.

  28. I think the headline left out the end of the quote: “…but that wouldn’t have been as much fun”.

  29. If there weren’t cameras everywhere, the situation would be full on Holocaust. That’s the only thing stopping them. Failed society.

  32. Price of eggs, I’ll end the war, blah blah.

    They’re cut from the same shitty fabric.
