Comment on Gaza Death Toll Denial Debunked
JustZ@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dude just sits there for 45 minutes making general comparisons and leaping to his own conclusions. Not a serious video.
Like because one other war has fewer civilian casualties, Israel is therefore targeting civilians in purpose. That conclusion doesn’t follow.
Dude doesn’t even mention martyrdom culture or Hamas doing things like spreading misinfo that the evacuation warnings, phone calls, and texts from the IDF were hoaxes. Makes no mention of why the civilian casualties are so much higher in Gaza as opposed to other conflicts.
Those other conflicts didn’t have Hamas building hundreds of miles of tunnels under every population center, didn’t have Hamas encouraging families to live above the tunnels to protect them. That’s why the civilian death toll in Gaza is so high.

There’s dozens of genocidal statements by israelis government knesset members and yet you have the audacity to blame all the civilians dead on Hamas only. Do you know that Russia use the same human shield excuse to target civilians?

Russia says that the Ukrainians dug 500 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 mi wide and use them for decades to launch terrorist attacks against Russia?
I haven’t heard that claim one time. I don’t think it’s true either.

I didn’t mention tunnels, I mentioned human shields. Russia is using similar excuses as Israel. aljazeera.com/…/why-we-need-to-challenge-russias-… Don’t try to feel us you know really well the amalek reference by natanyaho and many other statements trtworld.com/…/database-exposes-500-instances-of-…
Not only the number are underestimated due to the collapse of health system but genocide was never about killing the majority or all members of an ethnic group etc. Israel action fit at least two examples of action defining genocide which are causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group and deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

When resistance group committed atrocities in the past like the may may did it make the colonizers the good guys?

Hamas actually uses human shields, though, and rewards people for war crimes, such as not wearing uniforms or kidnapping civilians.
