No, I'm making a joke about one of the most targeted strikes ever that had minimally civilian causalities. There has never ever been a war where not a single civilian got hurt by accident. But this was an attack where the % of civilians was extremely low.
Yep, I saw those videos too. Someone standing less than a meter away from the target walked away unscathed. Extremely precise compared to the stoneage barbarians lobbing rockets from hospitals.
At this point, denying the Gaza genocide is akin to denying the Cambodian Genocide in 1978. And it should be treated as equally racist as to deny the Armenian or the Bosnian genocide.
Billions of people agree with experts, human rights organizations, international organizations and dozens of governments that there is an ongoing genocide conducted by Israel in Gaza. Plurality or majority in most countries (including very pro-Israel countries like the UK) believe Israel is conducting a genocide in Gaza.
a) you are comparing two completely different things, both in size and situation
b) the war was started and is continued by israel, when they started occupying land that does not belong to them using the BIBLE as a source for their claims for christ's sake.
The very existence of a state of israel there is western colonialism, created by the british due to the stupidity of the german nazi regime.
There would be no hamas or hezbollah if israel was not there, or at least not constantly expanding.

It discriminated quite well. Don't buy your pagers from the same batch as Hezbollah.
Also audit your supply chain and make sure nothing is connected to Israel.
Yea, if you are running a terrorist organization you should probably do that.
*If you're running what they consider to be a terrorist organization.
There's almost never universal agreement on what that means. I stand by my statement.
There’s pretty universal agreement in this case.
Terrorist sympathizers will always claim that it’s not terrorism, but if it is, it’s justified.
October 7th was terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Israel has a right to exist. Naïve western liberals enable Hamas.
Many people argued the jewish led communist rebellions in interwar Germany were terrorism and responded in a similar way.
Again I stand by what I've written.
I’m sure you do.
You’re free to stand with a proscribed terrorist organization and a backwards unreformed religious and political system that hates Jews.
I’ll stand with the modern western liberal democracy against the terrorists.
For being pro liberal democracy your views are strikingly ethnocentric.
Only one of us stands with terrorists seeking the elimination of Jews.
If you label everyone in the other ethnicity terrorists you're doing the same thing.
But I guess that's too nuanced for you.
You realise that they had no control over who was near them when the exploded ?
There are multiple videos circulating of pagers exploding in grocery stores.
Is that discriminated ?
Yep, I saw those videos too. Someone standing less than a meter away from the target walked away unscathed. Extremely precise compared to the stoneage barbarians lobbing rockets from hospitals.
Stoneage Barbarians?
WTF? You are just doing a genocidal dehumanization right here on HN?
Is the genocide in the room with you right now?
I don’t know what you are talking about, are you engaging in a genocide denial?
There’s no genocide.
At this point, denying the Gaza genocide is akin to denying the Cambodian Genocide in 1978. And it should be treated as equally racist as to deny the Armenian or the Bosnian genocide.
The Cambodian genocide that killed up to 2 million in a systematic purge?
At this point, anyone making a claim like yours should be ridiculed as a completely unserious person.
Is it the larger number that makes it genocide?
Cos they've got the "systematic" down pat.
Billions of people agree with experts, human rights organizations, international organizations and dozens of governments that there is an ongoing genocide conducted by Israel in Gaza. Plurality or majority in most countries (including very pro-Israel countries like the UK) believe Israel is conducting a genocide in Gaza.
There is nothing unserious about this accusation.

What definition of “genocide” are you using?
I’m not familiar with any existing definition that is applicable here, so I assume you must be using one I’m not aware of.
Thankfully you do not have to take my word for it, but rather that of the United Nations or Amnesty International.
How would you describe a complete blockade, razing cities to the ground, thousands of dead children ? A civilised and fair war ?

Israel is the one that bombs hospitals.
