Israel at War - Hamas Attacks

[Bill.in.PA]

The Israel’s UK ambassador Tzipi Hotovely recently stated that every school, mosque, and home are legitimate targets in the war in Gaza:

HOTOVELY: . . . One of the things we realized – that every school, every mosque, every second house has an access to [a] tunnel. So this is– and of course– and ammunition.

DALE: But that’s an argument for destroying the whole of Gaza — every single building in there.

HOTOVELY: So, do you have another solution – how to destroy the underground tunnels city, that this is the place where the terrorists hide, where they have all the ammunition? And this is the rockets that are still fired on Israeli cities.”

Indiscriminate bombing is official policy when everything is classified as a military target.

I didn’t realize you were privy to Israeli policy making.

when everything is used to store ammunition and hide fighters, everything is a target. Good call!

Are weapons dumps, troop collection areas, troop transportation methods NOT valid military targets?

[Bill.in.PA]

Presumably Israel’s ambassador to the UK is privy to Israeli policy making.

She did not dispute that Israel’s policy is “destroying the whole of Gaza–every single building there”. Instead she justified indiscriminate attacks.

Not that I would stoop to your level of pointing out that you’re advocating what Biden is to associate you with Biden… but

Well, yeah, I guess I would stoop to that.

When you store weapons and personnel in religious buildings, they lose their inherent protection under the Geneva Convention.

I fail to see the problem here.

[Bill.in.PA]

Biden’s policies have attracted severe criticism even from his own campaign staff.

That is a good thing in my book.

@Bill.in.PA

Would you support US aid being used to expel civilians from Gaza?

Yes…. I would. FAFO…… it’s about time they “found out”.

[TheRedComet]

I wouldn’t lose any sleep.

It seems that Israel is having difficulty finding witnesses to support the horrendous allegations from October 7 that have been splashed across US media.

The Washington Post quietly removed one of the more outlandish claims:

Washington Post erases Israeli minister’s farfetched October 7 rape claim at...

How much of the narrative from the Israeli government has been pure fabrication?

Probably a much smaller percentage than your online persona is fabricated.

[Bill.in.PA]

Has Israel’s Haaretz become pro-Hamas?

@Bill.in.PA

indiscriminate attacks.

This is your latest blatant lie.

Nothing indiscriminate about the chosen targets. Just because so many buildings participate in terrorist support, targeting them does not make it indiscriminate.

[Ben_Natuf]

you speak of fabrication while you post something from Putins mouthpiece.

[Ben_Natuf]

is some rando twitter link proof of anything?

[Bill.in.PA]

When you declare that all civilian targets have potential military value, then there is no need to discriminate.

Of course, that logic would imply that the World Trade Center and commercial aircraft were legitimate military targets as well.

[Ben_Natuf]

@Bill.in.PA

When you declare that all civilian targets have potential military value

the tunnels that go to them are not civilian targets. hence; they are not civilian targets

[Guvnah]

@Bill.in.PA

Yes there is.

It’s true that any building in Gaza potentially holds Hamas assets. You know that. You’re not an idiot. It’s the way Hamas has embedded itself in Gaza.

That doesn’t give carte blanche for Israel to bomb first and ask questions later. When they identify a hostile building (and only after they identify it as such) then they take it out. That’s not INDISCRIMINATE bombing. And it takes an idiot to declare that to be indiscriminate.

You’re not an idiot. Don’t try to prove otherwise.

What does it say about the future of the Israelis held by Hamas when the Netanyahu government has assassinated the lead negotiator responsible for the November hostage release?
