I can't help notice that none them, well at least the vast majority of them, aren't telling Hamas to stop bombing civilian locations, they're only telling Israel to stop bombing missile sights and terrorist sights.

No one is supporting hammas killing civilians. Let mw start by saying that I condemn their actions on oct. 7. Attacking civilians is wrong, period. That being said, the reason that is not the focus is because israel already has the world on its side acknowledging that attack was awful. Hammas is being held accountable for their crimes. Israel, however, has not been held accountable for their crimes. Any time the conversation turns to that, people immediately want to point fingers at hammas. We already ackniwledged that was wrong. That isn't the topic of conversation now. The real question is why can't you be consistent in your condemnation of attacks on civilians? If you and israel care so much about hostages, why do you support them dropping bombs over the heads of hostages in an effort to get revenge on hammas? Israel has already killed many hostages so far in doing this. Does that sound like a rescue mission to you? Or does it sound like a land grab and excuse for ethnic cleansing?
How many hostages has Israel killed? Bombing military sights that are located in civilian areas is a war crime but not for Israel but for Hamas. Israel is NOT prohibited from bombing civilians IF a countries ability to create war is in those areas. It is a crime for Hamas to put those civilians at risk. Do you realize Hamas, Syria, and Lebanon are continuing to bomb Israeli citizens every day? They didn't invade Israel, commit war crimes, then go home and call it a day. Hundreds of bombs are being launched into Israel daily, Israel tracks their incoming location and bombs it. Yes, civilians are killed but that isn't Israels problem. They have THEIR citizens to protect.
At some point, israel needs to be accountable for their decision to bomb civilians. They killed 22 hostages and thousands of civilians in the process of bombing hammas. They are more than capable of sending ground forces. They chose not to for a reason.
Then why did the IDF shoot hostages oct 7th? They shot indescriminantly. They dont care about hostages. Dont kid yourself.
Where are you getting your info? Hamas Health Ministry? You do realize what Israel is doing now is child's play compared to what a ground invasion is gonna bring, don't you? Are you gonna cry even harder when civilian deaths in Gaza are gonna be off the charts? But that's what you want.
So you only care about civilian deaths if its white, jewish israeli civilians. Got it. At least I'm consistent. Thats thebdifference between us. Hammas wiuldnt exist if it wasn't for israels occupation and displacement of palistineans and their creation of an apartheid state.
Also, I notice no condemnation from you about three countries that continue to kill Israeli citizens with bombs and you're also completely silent about Hamas using citizens as human shields. They do that for people like you. They're getting your support.
Look at the hostages speaking out. All of them. Listen to what they say happened that day. The truth is coming out.
Dumb fuck, Israel GAVE Palestine Gaza. Gave them electric, water, let them work in Israel and in return, the Palestinians kicked the Palestinian authority out and elected terrorists whose only mission is to wipe Israel off the map! They wanted them, now they can die with them.
I haven't heard from you your condemnation of israelis genocide against palestinians either. The whataboutism is getting old hon. That isn't the topic of conversation. Again, hammas wouldn't exist if israel hadn't committed crimes against palestinians for the last 75 years.
What crimes? I really wanna hear.
you're being a useful idiot for israeli propoganda campaigns to justify their apartheid state. Do you know its illegal to boycott israel in 26 states in the US? That is a violation of freedom of speech, expression, and the right to protest.
Sure, they gave them a tiny strip of land the size of long island to house millions of people. How generous. Then denied citizenship and equal rights under the law. They dont even get access to civil law, they are ruled by military law. Locked them into an open air prison and dont even allow them the use of the same roads. Do you know what "sterile" roads are? Thats what they call roads off limits to palestinians. Jewish only roads.
Im sure you would be so grateful to be dragged out of your home, told you no longer have a right to it, watch it be given to settlers and then crammed into an open air prison with millions of people and then denied basic human rights. No extremism could POSSIBLY result from that. What could go wrong? 🤡
I'm still waiting for you to tell of the horrible "genocide" Israel committed. Please, tell me. Talk about a useful idiot for spreading propaganda.
Denying food, water, medical care, and dropping bombs on civilians isn't enough for you? They are violating the geneva convention. The rules of warfare apply to everyone. Is Israel above the law?
one of the geneva conventions is to Protect all civilians, including those in occupied territory. Why are we not holding Israel accountable for this violation?
According to the UN, a body that is even more antisemitic than you, they're not. I explained the rules of engagement to you but obviously you're to dumb to comprehend. You just want a one sided war. Let me guess, you think it's a big cover up and that Isreal actually bombed the hospital, don't you?
Do not conflate jewish people with Israel. That is dangerous rhetoric. I am anti Zionist. Not anti semetic. Plenty of jewish people stand for Palestine. Secondly, it doesn't matter what the UN says. What does the LAW say? Onjectively they violated the geneva conventions on many occasions. They are not held accountable because the UN wants Israels money and weapons. You dont need to explain anything to me. I understand it fine. Shall i pull up the geneva convention and quote it for you? Say the word and we can check off all of Israels violations.
Yes, do that. You already gave me a half ass list that Israel clearly hasn't violated. The UN, you know, kinda holds violators of the Geneva Convention accountable. Didn't you hear the UN secretaries speech? He basically said Israel deserved what it got. Israels money is insignificant to the UN. That was actually a dumb comment.
Okay, gladly.

Feel free to look this up yourself. Israel has violated all of these. They must be brought to justice.
They haven't violated one of them. You are fucking crazy! Hamas has violated most of them. Jesus Christ! What country are you from and where do you get your information? It's important that you tell me.
Jesus fucking christ the cognitive dissonance is strong in you. How can you say with yoir full chest they are not engaging in collective punishment when we have literally been watching them carpet bomb civilians over the last week? Are you serious?
For my own sanity I'm going to disengage now. You're beyond help. Hopefully ither people who read this thread will have more sense than you have in this discussion.
BuT whAt AbOuT HamMaS? 🤪
Yeah. We already went iver that, buddy. I already condemned their actions. Right now we are talking about holding Israel accountable 🙄🤦♀️
You told me you understood the "rules of engagement" didn't you? Obviously you don't. Do I really need to explain it to you again? I don't know if you realize this but UN inspectors and the International Red Cross are stuck to Israel like flies on shit. If war crimes are committed, they would be more than happy to announce it to the world, again, the UN hates Isreal as much as you do but there has been absolutely no evidence of any being committed. I really don't give a fuck about what you've obviously been brainwashed to believe. I think I'll believe the international community over a fucking psycho.
So you will ignore the law itself and your own eyes in favor of what politicians tell you. How very smart of you. Politicians never lie 🤣
Are you an American?
UN inspectors and members of the Red Cross are politicians? You are clueless. No one is accusing Israel of war crimes except you and Hamas supporters. You really need to stop, you're making yourself look more and more foolish and uninformed or should I say misinformed?
Anyone who has eyes and understands the geneva conventiom knows the truth. Keep living on delulu land.
You're not 29 are you? I put your age at between 14 and 16 or maybe a first or second year college student. The reason I say that, is because it's obvious you haven't formed your own opinion that you can actually back up. You've been indoctrinated in an environment that doesn't allow an opposite view or an environment of people you respect and would'nt question. Why do I say that? Because you keep giving the same talking points. When I call you out on them, you don't defend them, you just repeat them. You need to be honest.
Whatever you have to tell yourself to reinforce your confirmation bias. 👍
Looked into it and you're wrong. The UN has ackniwledged Israel is committing war crimes.
"There is no justification for violence that indiscriminately targets innocent civilians, whether by Hamas or Israeli forces. This is absolutely prohibited under international law and amounts to a war crime." This was according to UN experts. Check mate.
“We strongly condemn the horrific crimes committed by Hamas, the deliberate and widespread killing and hostage-taking of innocent civilians, including older persons and children. These actions constitute heinous violations of international law and international crimes, for which there must be urgent accountability,” the U. N. group said.
“We also strongly condemn Israel’s indiscriminate military attacks against the already exhausted Palestinian people of Gaza, comprising over 2.3 million people, nearly half of whom are children,” it added. “They have lived under unlawful blockade for 16 years, and already gone through five major brutal wars, which remain unaccounted for.”
Keep coping babe.
Wrong, again. They never said they WERE, they only said they MAYBE. As I already made clear, the UN hates Israel as much as you do. In a speech, the UN secretary basically said Israel deserved what it got from Hamas. I'm not saying there aren't going to be isolated cases, there always is but as of right now, they are not indiscriminately bombing children and other innocent civilians, otherwise the UN would start charging crimes. If you remember, when the Gaza hospital was supposedly bombed by Israel, the whole world wanted Israel taken out but now we know it wasn't them. I'm sure you think it was. You're clueless.
Well i just quoted word for word what they said so lie to yourself if you want.
Only problem is, the UN NEVER SAID that. Did you even read what you wrote? You're quoting a UN think tank. Reuters reported this on Oct.12, it was a group of UN EXPERTS! They don't work for the UN, they don't represent the UN and they certainly don't speak for the UN. CHECK MATE!
Lol whatever you say honey. Cognitive dissonance dodna number on you. The UN Watch Database documents that from 2006 through 2022, the UN Human Rights Council has adopted 99 resolutions against Israel on top of acknowledging them violating international law. Cope harder babe.
Back to your same talking points? "COGNITIVE DISSONANCE! COGNITIVE DISSONANCE"! Did you just learn that term? Lol The UN Human Rights council does nothing but give opinions. Their resolutions have no legal bearing. They're also as anti Israel as you are. Jesus Christ, they just appointed Iran to chair it! I know you probably think Iran is a fine nation but they're one of the biggest violators of human rights in the world. Anyway, again, it has absolutely nothing to do with what you're claiming, so stop your "whataboutism" you're on record as hating. You need to stay on topic. As you probably now realize, the UN never accused Israel of war crimes, it was a group of UN experts. Again, Israel will be accused of crimes, after all, as I've pointed out, the UN hates Israel but as of right now, the UN isn't accusing them. You need to cope with that, babe.
More fallacious arguments and denial. Read the geneva conventions. You're objectively wrong.
Back to your talking points, once again! The UN charges war crimes according to the Geneva Convention laws. The UN hasn't charged any crimes and as of this moment, hasn't even accused Israel of any. What the fuck don't you understand? Your brain is so fucking diluted from your sources you no longer have the ability to actually think for yourself. Keep bringing up the Geneva Convention, like it matters or you're some type of expert. All you're doing is making yourself look foolish. It's actually sad.
I keep bringing it up because it is international law for warfare. Right there, in black and white, you can read for yourself what is not permitted and compare it to what we know Israel has done. If you would rather have the narrative spoon fed to you by politicians like a simple sheep, be my guest. It only makes you look foolish.
You bring it up because you think it makes you look intelligent and that it some how supports you opinion. It does neither. The Geneva convention doesn't support your argument. You claim that Israel is committing war crimes and to prove it you copy and paste the Geneva convention laws? Lol That isn't evidence, sorry. You're out of your league, kid. So far everything you written is either completely false or inaccurate.
I am showing you the laws so you can compare them to what Israel has objectively been doing. They have admitted to doing many of these things. I see you're not smart enough to connect the dots so ill quit eating my time on you. Try not to stay a moron forever.
"Cognitive dissonance", "objectively", "confirmation bias", Geneva Convention"... quit trying to act smart by repeating the same shit!! The Geneva Convention isn't evidence as to whether or not war crimes are being committed. We've already been through that! I do have eyes and ears and haven't seen any crimes from Israel. It's not a crime to bomb civilians, you just can't target them. That's what the Geneva Convention says for rules of engagement. It is a crime to use citizens as human shields or to have military sites in populated areas, per Geneva Convention. I will say, a lot of what Israel is doing lately is definitely borderline. Like killing a couple hundred citizens to get one commander hiding within the population but it still isn't a war crime. You need to learn the document you claim to be an expert on. Also, don't give me this line of bullshit that Israel is "admitting" to war crimes. Not everyone is as fucking dumb as you!
Israel does not have a right to defend itself because they are the occupying force in violation of international law. This is not up for debate. They forgo the right to self defense. Even though they withdrew their troops in 2005, they still maintain complete control over the Gaza strip. The UN general Assembly, the internatuonal committee for the red cross, human rights watch, amnesty international, the international criminal court, and the international court of justice all agree Israel is still the occupying force in Gaza. So everything they are doing is in violation of international law. They dont even have rights as the belligerant occupier because they aren't upholding their responsibilities. As such, they forgo those rights. The only people who have a right to use violence are the people in the occupied territories. Look it up.
You are absolutely clueless! For one thing, it is debatable. Half the international community says they aren't occupying Gaza but that isn't even important. Israel has an absolute right to defend itself, even if they are an occupying force. The only difference is, they have to ensure the safety of the citizens. THEY must provide food, water, medical attention. If they're not the occupying force, they're not obligated to do that. The traditional rules of engagement apply. You need to stop.
They have complete unilateral control of gaza. They control what goes in and out of there, including the people. They are the occupying force. Period. This isn't up for debate.
You pick the dumbest fucking things to argue about in a desperate attempt to be right about something/anything. As I clearly stated, whether or not Israel is the occupying force isn't important. YOU say it's important because they "can't defend themselves", that it is "against international law". I think you now realize you are full of shit! If you're going to spend all your time Googling for info, at least learn to comprehend what you're reading.
Explain how it's dumb. I bring it up because it is relevant to the discussion. Your argument hinges on the premise that Israel has a right to defend itself. So, I went ahead and tackled that premise. You don't like it because you have no rebuttal beyond ad hominems. Just admit you don't know what you're talking about like an adult.
Seriously, are you retarded? Your "premise" is 100% WRONG. You think it's important that Israel is an occupying force because it means they're breaking international law by defending themselves, right? Just to be clear, that is what you are claiming? You are WRONG! In your own redundant words, this isn't even debatable. Lol ha ha... Absolutely no one is questioning that. They have every right to defend themselves. I'll explain to you for the third fucking time, the ONLY thing that changes, if Israel is considered the occupying force, is "rules of engagement". Now, tell me where I am wrong? In other words, defend your fucking nonsense.
Okay. Keep living in delulu land. I'm done trying to talk sense into someone who isn't even brave enough to put his face behind his words. Have a nice night, keyboard warrior.
In other words, you can't defend what you are claiming?
I've successfully defending my claim this entire time. I just know a lost cause when I see one. You have your mind made up. You don't care about what's true. Take care.

The students are being brainwashed by far left professors. One girl was asked what side she was one, and she said she had no idea, she was just their because she was being paid. 🙄
Really? That I have not heard. I definitely know about the ridiculous protests and the students lack of intellect.
Yes it’s ridiculous
