  • New York Times rejects Quaker ad for calling Israel’s actions “genocide”

  • Of course number doesn't make something right or wrong.

    I also find persuasive the list of The country's in support of South Africa's complaint to the ICC; a bunch of religious dictatorships and monarchies with their own abysmal human rights records, compared to those who supported Israel, which includes like France, Australia, Japan, and even Canada. Canada is widely known for its cool head in international affairs and it's consistent stance where human rights are concerned, which might not be as aggressive as some wish, but they manage to maintain relations and push their agenda, which is usually shared by the western world, forward.

  • Gaza put Hamas in charge a s Gaza keeps Hamas in charge. Despite that, Hamas members do things such as:

    • telling Gazan's that airstrike warnings people receive via SMS and phone calls are hoaxes, and that they should stay where they are;
    • physically blocking escape routes;
    • shooting people trying to flee;
    • brainwashing or indoctrinating their close family and friends, and most loyal supporters, to huddle up in rooms with them in hopes that it will stop the Hamas member(s) from being killed in an airstrike by making the incidental casualties too great;
    • building hundreds of miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide--used exclusively for organizing and commanding Hamas activities, smuggling rockets, rocket launchers, other munitions and weapons, fighters, including suicide bombers, mass shooters, hostage takers, along with hostsges, so, in other words, building legitimate military targets where regular people are most concentrated--with shafts leading under and often into major population centers such as schools, hospitals, large apartment buildings, and markets;
    • by traveling with large groups of civilians into areas designated for civilians, and then using those places for command and control purposes, such as Hamas members who have been killed in and near humanitarian corridors and camps;
    • refusing to wear uniforms or distinguish themselves from the innocent people they hide behind/under;
    • encouraging through promotion and literally cash rewards for a culture of "martyrdom," in which the only civil obligation more revered than adding to the civilian death toll is to actually kill someone from Israel;
    • using the same neighborhoods, week after week, to launch rockets indiscriminately at civilians in Israel, making those neighborhood a legit military target (see above about encouraging people to ignore air strike warnings).

    This is Hamas's only real strategy at this point: to get as many civilians killed as possible. That's why the death toll is so high. This strategy often works but ofter October 7, when the tunnels were literally used to launch a mass shooting of over 1,000 innocent people, with hundreds more taken hostage, the tunnels are obviously fair targets when combined with a reasonable attempt to warn innocent people, such as the initial and subsequent repeated orders to evacuate Gaza City, and the millions and millions of phone calls and SMS messages sent warning people of incoming strikes.

    Here's a story that has stuck with me, and note the bit about how he was up against Hamas posts on Facebook that told his neighbors not to leave their homes:

    This culture has robbed generations of ever knowing hope, and has killed countless people. The seemingly high number of civilian casualties is a feature of Hamas's strategy, so that they can then cry foul, and trick well meaning westerners into joining Hamas in their opposition to Israel and subsidize their terror through charity to the innocent public. If the people of Gaza actually had to bear the consequences of Hamas's leadership (starvation, dehydration, and abject poverty), they wouldn't stand for it, let alone support it. It's a miracle Hamas has failed to get killed more than 1 out of every 100 citizens, and it's because of Israeli restraint that that number holds, and it's why the IDF says it's the most ethical army in the world; any other army would have flattened such an opponent decades ago. That's how I see it.

  • It is labeled for horses primarily. Approved for and customarily used on animals first. You know, humans don't get many worms where the drug was invented and made. It's like, some adults wear diapers, but when someone says diapers the user you picture is a baby. You say Ivermectin, and anyone that knows anything about it thinks horses. It's used by vets more than doctors. It's available, I believe, over the counter, at farm supply stores. Humans require a prescription, in the US, anyway.

    Sometimes public ridicule is an appropriate remedy when social conduct is harmful yet not illegal.

    In context, Mary Mallon was medically quarantined against her will, for life, because she refused to stop knowingly spreading disease. She broke the social contract. The social contract requires basic personal hygiene. The horse paste people anti-mask types are breaking the contract; they waste medication, they take up medical resources, and they knowingly spread disease. The same people take huge dumps and then don't wash their hands.

    And now, some Shakespeare:

    "All the contagion of the south light on you, You shames of Rome! you herd of--boils and plagues. Plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd. [Now go], further than [can be] seen, and one infect another, [and then go] against the wind [another] mile!"

  • Look I know this stuff is very hard and emotional. Not everything is a war crime. Using AI to track enemy combatants is not a war crime.

    An airstrike that intentionally kills civilians, incidental to a legit military target, maybe very sad, but it is not a war crime. The assessment of strategic value is weighed against the overall conflict, not the specific attack, It's weighed against the decades of rocket attacks and suicide bombings by people hiding underground in population centers with impunity.

    Yes, there's about 10 or 20 documented cases of Israeli soldiers using human Shields in horrific ways. Strapping them to the front of their car, literally holding them between them and gunfire. That's a war crime. It's also a crime under Israeli law. People get arrested for it and go to jail for it. It does not happen daily. In Gaza, being a human shield is a way of life. It is always a war crime to, whilst claiming the protections of international law, to willfully violate international law by failing to distinguish troops from civilians, by hiding amongst them and not wearing uniforms. That is the way of life in Gaza, points of pride even, legacy. That's infinitely more of a crime against humanity in the most literal terms.

  • Just look at all the leaders and western institutions that say otherwise. Probably your own country's intelligence and diplomatic heads, probably your chief executive. The list of institutions that agree with me is much longer than your list of loudmouths. The question you should ask is when did South Africa and Ireland start working for Iran?

  • No not at all. Israel actually prosecutes war criminals and will continue to do so. That's unlike Gaza, where war crimes are rewarded with cash prizes, paid in Iranian Dinar.

    That's the leadership the world expects from Hamas; let everyone starve so they can build out tunnels and buy rocket launchers, get 50,000 people killed as voluntary and involuntary human shields, and then sit back and let Qatari and other anti-western media brainwash well-meaning folks such as you into thinking everyone in Gaza is getting killed, when it's really just a very small amount of people who just can't manage to stay away from Hamas like the other 99%.

  • Yes and in the Bosnian genocide there were not credible claims that the deceased were incidental casualties, which are permissive and expected in war. There were soldiers going door to door murdering families, lining them up and shooting them, sometimes hundreds at a time. You know, actual genocide.

    Nothing like that has happened in Gaza, not even allegedly. There's been some mistakes and some definite war crimes. That's all war, though.

  • I've seen some of these medivac bills. You are right. They are always $200,000 or more.

    States tried to regulate them, but the air ambulances argued that aviation falls under federal law, and fat fucking chance the federal government is going to regulate the price of anything.
