The other day, they killed 5 of their own soldiers and wounded 7 others in a "friendly fire" incident because the soldiers were exhausted, and exhausted soldiers tend to ignore RoE (yes, this excuse was used) Doesn't sound like Israel even gives a shit about its own soldiers if it's forcing them to fight uninterrupted for so long that they get "tired" and ignore RoE/make mistakes. Mistakes jeopardize the lives of the entire unit (not to mention everyone else in the area)

Don't forget the time when they murdered 3 of their own hostages against the orders of their commanding officer.
Being exhausted is probably an excuse, sounds better than confessing that you dont follow RoE at all.

I don't know how any but the most blood thirsty soldiers could possibly tolerate the higher ups when they are THIS extreme...like this is Stalin level stuff here.
Easy, when you're that radicalised you usually follow the biggest monster around.

Because remember, killing Palestinian children means you're lauded as a hero.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/ben-gvir-the-cabinet-should-be-stopping-gaza-aid-trucks-not-protesters/

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir criticizes violent attacks by settler extremists on trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, though he indicates that he agrees with their demand that supplies not be transferred to Palestinians in the Strip while terror groups there are still holding Israeli hostages.

We are in a democratic country and I am in favor of freedom of protest.. They are allowed to demonstrate, he says during an interview with Army Radio.

I am against them attacking and burning trucks, he says, noting that he thinks its the cabinet that should be stopping the trucks.

I guess that makes Ben Gvir lawful evil?

Meanwhile Israel have done 70 air raids over whole Gaza while doing raids in Rafah, claims to have killed 50 Hamas members.
This Twitter post deserves to be quoted in its entirety:

" Once again, nearly half of the population of Rafah or 800,000 people are on the road, having been forced to flee since the Israeli Forces started the military operation in the area on 6 May.
In response to evacuation orders demanding people to flee to so-called safe zones, people mainly went to the middle areas and Khan Younis including to destroyed buildings.

Since the war in #Gaza began, Palestinians have been forced to flee multiple times in search of safety that they have never found including in
@UNRWA
shelters.
When people move, they are exposed, without safe passage or protection.
Every time, they are forced to leave behind the few belongings they have: mattresses, tents, cooking utensils and basic supplies that they cannot carry or pay to transport.
Every time, they have to start from scratch, all over again.

The areas that people are fleeing to now do not have safe water supplies or sanitation facilities.
Al-Mawassi -as one example- is a sandy 14 square kilometre agricultural land, where people are left out in the open with little to no buildings or roads. It lacks the minimal conditions to provide emergency humanitarian assistance in a safe and dignified manner. Before the recent escalation, the area was home to more than 400,000 people. The place is crammed and cannot absorb more people as is also the case for Deir al Balah, in the middle areas.

The claim that people in Gaza can move to safe or humanitarian zones is false. Each time, it puts the lives of civilians at serious risk.
Gaza does not have any safe zones.
No place is safe.
No one is safe.

The situation is again being made far worse by the lack of aid and basic humanitarian supplies.
The humanitarian community does not have any more supplies to give out, including food and other basic items.
The key crossings into Gaza remain closed or unsafe to access as they are located near or in combat zones.

Aid distribution is almost impossible without regular fuel imports, unstable telecommunication and the ongoing military operation.
Since 6 May, only 33 aid trucks made it through to southern Gaza. This is a small trickle amid the growing humanitarian needs and mass displacement.
While we welcome reports on first shipments arriving at the new floating dock, land routes remain the most viable, effective, efficient and safest aid delivery method.
The crossings must re-open and be safe to access. Without the re-opening of these routes, the deprivation of assistance and catastrophic humanitarian conditions will persist.

The obligations on all parties to the conflict including the State of Israel, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups are clear:

Rapid and unimpeded passage of humanitarian relief for all civilians in need, wherever they may be, is essential and must be allowed and facilitated.
The displaced population must have access to basic survival items, including food, water, and shelter, as well as hygiene, health, assistance and above all safety.
Humanitarian relief teams need safe and free movement to access those in need of assistance and protection wherever they may be.
It is the obligation of parties to the conflict to protect civilians and civilian objects everywhere.

Above all, it is time to agree on a ceasefire.
Any further escalation in the fighting will only wreak more havoc on civilians and make it impossible to finally have the peace and stability that Israelis and Palestinians desperately need and deserve. "
^^Hey! Eyes up here pal^^
Francesca Albanese talked about Israel using humanitarian "camouflage" to sanitise their genocide. Terms such "safe zones", "humanitarian corridors", "evacuation" etc. Evacuation is basically a euphemism now for bombing people until they run for their lives, its ok guys its not forced displacement, its not ethnic cleansing, it's a humanitarian evacuation. Would be funny if it wasn't so disgusting.

https://www.npr.org/2024/05/18/1252325103/member-of-israeli-war-cabinet-threatens-to-quit-if-gaza-plan-doesnt-change

A key member of Israel's war cabinet said Saturday he would quit the government in three weeks if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not advance a plan to replace Hamas in Gaza.

The ultimatum by Benny Gantz, a former army chief and current minister in Israel's three-member war cabinet, reflects growing discontent among Israel's leadership about the protracted war in Gaza and Netanyahu's far-right political partners. The move could pose a significant challenge to the stability of Netanyahu's government.

In his speech and in a letter to Netanyahu on Saturday, Gantz presented a six-point plan he demanded the prime minister adopt by June 8: Prioritizing the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza; returning Israeli civilians displaced by fighting near the restive Lebanon border to their homes by September; advancing a normalization deal for diplomatic ties with Saudi Arabia;creating a governing body, overseen by the U.S., European and Arab parties, and unspecified Palestinians, to manage Gaza's civilian affairs after the war; and agreeing to a law for equal military and national service including ultra-Orthodox Jews who have long been exempt.

Yup, and the far right are demanding that Netanyahu fire Gallant, again, after he also gave a scathing speech to Bibi.

Oh, remember the other day when settlers and ultranationalists attacked an aid truck, and the police let them get away with it? Well, they did the same thing the next day, but also threw rocks at IDF soldiers who tried to stop them. Gvir and Smotrich, of course, complained that the IDF have no right to guard the aid trucks, because Gaza shouldn't be getting any aid.
Today, peace activists prevented the terrorists from stopping the aid trucks, thankfully.

Oh, and Israeli police arrested an Israeli who lost 6 family members on 1/7 after he was beaten by ultranationalists who told him that they were glad that his family was dead. You heard me.
The IDF also executed (yes, execution-style-- he was on his knees and facing away from the murderers) a Palestinian convert to Judaism.

Israel doesn't really have any respect for converts or minority Jews. Like there was a huge scandal (and crime) where this minority group of African Jews were sterilized. They had the women go to a hospital i think supposedly to get vaccines or something, and then they would make the women never again able to get pregnant. I'm not sure if these people even still exist. I think this happened years ago and the people might have all died now by now. With no offspring. Which is what Israel wanted

That's fucked up no doubt. That link suggests it was a contraceptive they were given that needed to be taken every month for it to be effective. A minor difference from full on sterilization unless I'm reading it wrong but fucked up non the less.

Seems like it can also be constituted genocide depending on the specifics.

Of course it's an act of genocide. I can't say I expect much else at this point, news wise.

Oh no doubt. I know it's splitting hairs and I'm probably doing my usual OCD over analyzing semantic things but my issue is that being forced contraceptives against your will should be a big enough deal in itself to be worthy of heavy criticism without needing to call it full on sterilization which based on the article linked it wasn't.

Especially when you consider the article linked had this:

According to statistics released by Israels Central Bureau of Statistics, as of November 2020 there were approximately 170,000 Ethiopian immigrants living in Israel, 67,800 of whom were born in the country.

Both forced contraception and forced sterilization are abhorrent, one is temporary and one is permanent so there is a material difference. Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to downplay what happened. It's abhorrent regardless and the people responsible should get put away for crimes. It was even such a big deal it became a contentious point within Israel itself with Israeli's criticizing it.

@zikten - did you mean to say sterilization or was is a mistype? I feel like if you double down despite what the article you linked to suggests you do your own position damage because it comes across as taking an obviously horrible situation and purposefully using words that carry more emotive weight to try and give your point more impact. You don't need to do that. I think most of us are all on the same page here when it comes to some of the things Israel have done over the decades. Forced contraception is bad enough on it's own. Obviously if there are recorded cases of forced sterilization I'm more than happy to be in complete agreement with your original post. We're in agreement anyway on what happened being awful but I always feel like facts are important. Even when being used against parties that we both agree have done horrid things.

This is pretty meaningless tbh. Does anybody actually think Netanyahu is going to be arrested? Does anybody think Palestine is going to arrest Hamad leaders?

I always heard it was sterilization but ill try to find out more. If it was forced birth control, without the victims knowing, it is pretty bad still though.

Oh definitely. Its worth doing some research. I did a rudimentary google search before responding to your post and it sent me down a rabbit hole where its hard to know whats true and isnt. The official line seems to be one of these victims were in a processing camp and the plan was for it to be consensual to avoid pregnancies during their processing but due to a lack of translators a lot of people took it without realising 100% what they were signing up for. The other side is Israel purposefully gave them the contraceptive to stop them being able to have kids but if that was the case why accept so many Ethiopians in the first place and why use such an inefficient method for doing so. I try not to let my pre existing biases affect my critical thinking but its hard when everything you read is biased in one direction or the other to know the full picture. In this particular case I feel like it was an admin fuck up with translators rather than intentional for the points I raised above about Ethiopian birth rates in Israel but I honestly wouldnt rule anything off the table.

After their own soldiers killed 3 Israeli hostages who had escaped, were shirtless, waving a white flag, and begging for help in Hebrew, I have no trouble believing they're also killing their own soldiers. Those in Gaza are bloodthirsty monsters on a mission to kill and satiate their bloodlust. Either they do it quickly by shooting anybody they see or slowly by destroying their food, sources for clean water, medical infrastructure, and any building that could be considered habitable.

I don't think they have yet, have they? Its only an announcement that they intent to apply for arrest warrants, they still have to actually make the application, and then the application has to be approved, so still two steps removed from actual arrest warrants being issued as far as I know.

It does rather seem like the ICC are desperately dragging their heels in the vain hope that the US and Israel will miraculously get their act together, grow a moral conscience and completely change their behaviour, leading to the arrest warrants being cancelled and then the ICC can breathe a massive sigh of relief and all go home. Like they clearly don't want to go through with it and are trying to give them plenty of warning. Never got that with Russia. The ICC didn't come up with a song and dance publicly declaring their intentions to apply for international arrest warrants against Putin. They just did it and only announced when the warrants were issued, according to what I've heard.

I just don't get why he won't allow himself to be on the right side of the issue. Somewhere deep down he must know how fucked up this and how fucked up he sounds. I thought he was getting better and it sounds like he's dragging himself backwards because an international court wants to rightfully hold genocidal fascist sociopaths responsible for their war crimes.

From a purely political point of view I dont get Biden. He seems to be pissing off both sides over this. Regardless of what your own views and beliefs are on the current goings on hes really shit the bed on this one. From a Brit point of view anyway and I dont think hes alone. Our politicians are exactly the same. Hedging their bets and upsetting everyone.

Maybe Im being unfair. I know I tend to criticise what Hamas has done and also at the same time what Netanyahu has done as well and Ive been accused a rampant genocide enabler and also a fervent antisemite for the same posts previously. Maybe thats the issue with the whole situation. While we can argue power dynamics in play and I absolutely accept that is a fair point and a big issue, this isnt a simple case of Hamas bad and Netanyahu good or vice versa. Its far more complicated than that and ultimately I feel the only position anyone should ultimately take is one that leads to a decrease of innocent civilians both Israeli and Palestinians. And on that front Biden and most of the western world have failed.
