>> When asked if he considered the IDF's actions to be genocide, Benjamin Netanyahu denied it. To Quote: "You cannot call it genocide. That only applies to humans." <<
O_O I had not heard that one.
Okay, when do we start wondering if they're possessed, infested, or otherwise not functioning under their own volition? My partner Doug pointed out that Hitler's totem was Virus. And now I'm remembering the zombie caterpillars.
It's just a ghastly situation for Jews, the ones who do see the genocide for what it is. They had one refuge, their culture; but now their culture is turning into the enemy -- into genocidal maniacs -- and driving them out.
I wonder if it'll cause a schism. Many a religion has split over less.
Jewish Voice for Peace seems to be the main cluster of Jews taking action against the genocide in Palestine. And they've put a name on it: Never Again Is Now. Heartbreaking. "Never Again" didn't even last a full human lifetime.
>>They are not just 'careless' of civilian casualties. The IDF are deliberately shooting children and then when a group gathers to render aid, they bomb them! <<
I've heard of them doing that with soldiers, too, which is part of a very old tactic -- wounded soldiers tie up more resources and manpower than head ones, plus that makes it easier to snipe the others.
>> Or alternatively, they bomb an area, then use drones to shoot any injured children caught by the blast. They are deliberately killing civilians and children as a terror tactic. <<
I've heard about the weaponized drones. It's exactly why people pointed out that arming drones was a bad idea because it would increase human casualties. Though most of them were thinking about incidents claimed as "accidental." I was the one pointing out that when you can murder people you've decided to hate without risking your own skin in proximity, that makes it a lot more attractive.
They've also been targeting hospitals, ambulances, identifiable medics or aid workers, any supply of food or water big enough to recognize, etc. Which are also war crimes. It's like they're going down a list trying to make a check all the boxes. >_<
