“The Israeli intelligence documents make several claims that Sky News has not seen proof of and many of the claims, even if true, do not directly implicate UNRWA,” Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall wrote Thursday.
Israel claims that Hamas is using Al-Shifa to store weapons - Video suggests IDF might have rearranged weaponry at Al-Shifa prior to news crew visits
Israel claims a tunnel ran through a cemetry - Israeli commanders failed to prove their claim during a three-hour visit to the Bani Suheila cemetery and the surrounding area.
Israel claims the UNRWA is involved directly with Hamas in Gaza - ???
الشعب يريد؟. Well, it seems like the time has come for the Palestinians to raise their flag instead of the Hamas one. Oh, silly me, they actually cannot; they're under "the IDF's protection" currently. They will stay under their protection after Hamas falls too. Their natural resources and land will be protected with them to starve the Hamas regime forever.
Some boycotted products have plummeted in price here, and alternatives have taken their place on the shelves. Some stores and people did use this to buy them in bulk, but if this boycott isn't forgotten like the past ones, then supporting Israel may become a taboo. We may also get more statements like the McDonald's CEO statement clarifying that the middle east franchise is separate from the US one. And maybe more pathetic sights like this one:
Many McDonald’s operators in the region quickly distanced themselves from the Israeli operator’s actions. Franchise groups in Kuwait, Pakistan and other countries issued statements saying they did not share ownership with the Israeli franchise, and some of those franchises noted they have made financial donations to aid those in Gaza.
That's one reason for my support of the boycott. Additionally, getting accused of supporting Israel should feel like the crime it is. Even firms just relating to you or using your brand should feel the weight of their crime.
People should be seeking local alternatives to the products they use even if this whole massacre wasn't going on; We have a hell of a lot more control over local companies than we have over some company in the US or Germany.
I doubt they don't. When it's just for the election, future human rights abuses and even attempts at genocide aren't gonna be met with any response or condemnation.
So it's just a delay of direct assault, and not even gonna effect the indirect ways Israel makes Palestine unlivable.
This happens all the time. people not getting an obvious joke or not getting that it's just an innocent joke. Already got myself banned from an instance for one of the most obvious dumb jokes one can find.
The whole world is currently demonizing Russia. People are celebrating Russian soldiers deaths, knowing fully well that they're forced to fight this war. People are calling for their governments to send more aid to Ukraine, and to use frozen Russian assets to arm or rebuild Ukraine. Appearing to defend Russia or even being neutral about it might get you the chair.
Your retarded point just doesn't stand, find something else. You can also just ask for a position as a cock sucker for the IDF instead of your current job in the hasbara department.
I've seen videos of them mocking Russian soldiers, and there's supposedly a video of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian PoWs in the leg (can't find it).
I know, right? How are they expected to dethrone Hamas without destroying Gaza; starving, and humiliating it's people. Imagine having to report every war crime you committed, I wouldn't have any time for myself.
Of course military action is the answer, but military action against Hamas isn't the only thing they've been doing.
80% of buildings in Gaza are destroyed or damaged, on multiple occasions we've seen the IDF destroying or tampering with property of Palestinians for no apparent reason, and we've witnessed the soldiers in Gaza rounding up civilians to "surrender" and trying to portray them as Hamas fighters. How's that necessary?
It seems like their goal is to make Gaza unlivable by destroying it's infrastructure and unleashing their rabid pigs on it's population.
Military action has it's downsides, but the government of any nation would need to do something in a situation like this. Otherwise they'd be effectively encouraging the attackers to repeat their attack.
Taking steps in the past to make the situation better in Gaza, and in turn give people less reasons to join and support Hamas would have been better, but that ship has sailed, and they didn't want it anyways.
Yes, most people would consider “needless deaths of civilians while causing more terrorism” a pretty significant downside.
Realistically speaking: the people were furious after the attack took place, telling them that you can do nothing about it is a pretty bad idea. Besides, these side effects could have been avoided if they weren't the main objective of the IDF.
Of course, but “something” ≠ military action.
What is it then?
Fixed that for you
That could have been done in the past. Imagine Israel giving aid to Gaza right after Hamas attacked them, LOL. And to address your last point: I meant Israel never wanted a stable Gaza, not the Palestinians themselves.
