Let me present to you for the third time...
>If Israel is intent on genocide they aren't very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but cannot. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: cleanup |
| 15 days ago | mod | Removed Comment Show me the counter facts then rather than ad hominem attacks.
Genocide —
*the deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because of their ethnicity, nationality, religion, or race.*
https://www.britannica.com/topic/genocide
I put it to you a fourth time: How come not even nearly the percentage of Holocaust deaths has occurred against Gazans? Do you think the IDF is that inept in their "targeting"?
If you keep engaging but avoid the question (like a politician) then of course I will repeat the question. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: cleanup |

So did you, given you thought that 50,000 of less then 250,000 had been killed.
>I would call that Genocide but your figures are fantasy.
So, genocide denial.
>As long as Hamas don’t give up though (which seems to be what this sub wants) we can maybe eventually get there
This is just straight up admitting that Isreal is doing genocide by @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml reason: cleanup |

As long as Hamas don't give up though (which seems to be what this sub wants) we can maybe eventually get there but then it will be a joint effort by IDF, Hamas, Hezbollah, Qatar, Iran, ProPals. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: cleanup |
| 15 days ago | mod | Removed Comment > 50,000 died of a population of 2 million
No 50,000 direct deaths from Isreali munitions were able to be positively IDed. The actual number of deaths was estimated at a quarter million mid last year, and is probably at least twice that now, based on comments Trump made. by @BrainInABox@lemmy.ml reason: cleanup |
| 15 days ago | mod | Removed Comment 50,000 died of a population of 2 million (many of them militants). 2.5%, while a tragic loss of life, does not compare with the Holocaust where one-third of the Jewish population worldwide, and two-thirds of European Jews, had been wiped out.
If Israel is intent on genocide they aren't very good at it. They could have wiped out ⅔ of Gazans in the first week after October 7 but chose not to. Meanwhile Hamas and Hezbollah to this day call for ridding the Levant of all Jews but cannot.
Many more lives will be lost by Hamas not surrendering but it is a sacrifice Tankies in the comfort of their Western homes are willing to make. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: cleanup |
| 15 days ago | mod | Removed Comment I wonder how long you would last in Iran (who funds the terrorism). Am sure the administration would think you have "shitty viewpoints" on everything but Gaza.
You want to be the arbiter of what is bullshit without having to justify yourself. I suppose you would have that in common with the Ayatollah too. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: not nice |
| 15 days ago | mod | Removed Comment 1. Hamas started the war.
2. By Hamas' own count, 40,000 Palestinians died in the first year of the war
3. By Hamas' own count, less than 10,000 Palestinians died in the second year of the war
4. Aid has been consistently flowing into Gaza from Egypt AND Israel with a few pauses that were almost immediately lifted every time.
5. The leader of Hamas that was killed was once a prisoner in lsrael. He had a life threatening condition that required brain surgery, Israel provided it for free and saved his life.
6. Israel has Muslim Arab parliament members, a Muslim Arab supreme court justice, and Muslim Arabs working as professors at its universities.
7. Israel has peaceful relations with Jordan and Egypt, Muslim Arab majority nations. It's actually super easy to get along with Israel, just don't attack.
8. The 'new' leader of Hamas may have died yesterday in Gaza. He was operating immediately under a working hospital, one of countless examples of Hamas purposely endangering citizens so that they die for negative online clout.
9. After a year into the war, Israel took over a major Hamas base that was right under UNWRA headquarters. Since then, they have been able to keep the civilian population largely out of harm's way, though imperfectly, which is why the death toll was largely reduced in the second year of fighting.
Taken together, the conclusion is that this is a messy and ugly war. But it is not a genocide. by @sqgl@beehaw.org reason: they are killing civilians, that is genocide |

| 3 months ago | mod | Removed Comment I think it's more nuanced than that but it's difficult to have a nuanced conversation because everyone is so absolutist in their stance. Ukraine wants to be negotiating from a position of having the US military in it's pocket and demands defeat of Russia. That was never going to happen even under Biden. It's easy to punt all that bluster to the endgame... until the endgame arrives. And that's where we are.
This is the raw reality of this war and frankly Zelenskyy has been overplaying his hand. Ukraine can either negotiate or continue fighting and Zelenskyy keeps choosing fighting. Anyone suggesting Ukraine is actually trying to negotiate at this point seems pretty far off from reality.
I don't think Trump's revisionist history helps at all but I do think this reality check does help. Nothing is getting through Zelenskyy's thick skull.
We can keep dumping old US weapons onto Ukraine hands (which is all we are willing to do) but that doesn't end this war. It just shovels money at our defence contractors.
Anything beyond will involve direct US and Russia hostility (which would actually be WW3).
Stylistically I really do lothe the Trump, Vance, Rubio showdown that happened, but at the same time it also feels like one of the most honest things to happen. We cannot help Zelenskyy until he accepts that Russia will not be defeated. by @pixelpop3@beehaw.org reason: nah |
| 3 months ago | mod | Removed Comment I don't really disagree with anything you're saying except whether we are morally compelled to assist in what amounts to Ukraine's suicide/self-genocide.
The reality is that the war has reached a stalemate (at best). Changing the facts will require additional forces and despite all the nice words nobody is seriously considering committing forces to aid Ukraine. That's facts. Sorry. Escalation leads to WW3 and that's why everyone has been on egg shells.
The US specifically as security guarantor is an explicit no-go for Russia. If we insist on making this existential for Russia, it becomes WW3. There is no reason Europeans can't be guarantor. And frankly putting US economic interests in Ukraine with these minerals is a pretty genius idea. The US is ruthless about protecting it's economic interests.
I like Zelenskyy, he's plucky and charismatic and has good instincts. But he is not particularly realistic in his demands. For example his repeated assertions that Putin hates Russia just... it's not workable. Ukraine's hand is as strong as it's going to get right now. Hopefully this has rattled him enough that the Europeans talks some sense into him. And frankly I prefer European leadership on this for a number of reasons. It's far better for Europe if they get their act together and stop groveling to the US for leadership in their own backyard. This is the EU's turf for Christ sake. by @pixelpop3@beehaw.org reason: mm, no |
