Ringo Roadagain posted:before hamas took over the gaza strip, there were israeli settlements in the gaza strip. the plan has always been to drive the palestinians out of the west bank and gaza strip, not just the west bank and leave the gaza strip alone. The Gaza Strip was formed from the Oslo Peace Accords which gave up Israeli control and put it under Palestinian Authority. The Israelis were removed as part of the Accords: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_disengagement_from_Gaza Hamas did not "take over" anything. Can you reference what "the plan has always been" and by whom to drive Palestinians from the Gaza Strip?

If you're aware of it, it shouldn't be hard to see why I'd invoke it here - nothing else really conveys "lurid but unsubstantiated claims of child murder that are ethnically/religiously motivated, often as prelude to pogroms and/or other forms of ethnic cleansing." It is of course historically specifically antisemitic, but parallels don't get much clearer than leaders citing 40 mythical beheaded babies as a prelude to mass violence. Also, not knowing what "good faith" actually means is another pretty good reason for people not to put much stock in your interpretation of that term.

My use of the term is slightly provocative, but we're talking about what appears to be an entirely false and dehumanizing story where a numerologically significant number of babies were alleged to have been slain in a lurid and semi-ritualistic fashion that was widely spread and repeated by official and semi-official sources in the aftermath of an attack in an ethnic/religious conflict as that side geared up to conduct retaliatory violence (both via the state and pogroms). If you've got another reasonably succinct term that captures the essence of that I'm happy to use it instead, but "blood libel" seems to fit just fine.

i fly airplanes posted:Israel gains nothing by bombing a hospital, and if they wanted to target hospitals and schools and civilians intentionally, they would have been able to wipe out the entire Gaza Strip in hours. That doesn't excuse the outcome or their actions and what happened, but if they truly had the intent of mass genocide it would have been accomplished already. I don’t think any serious people would argue that Israel actually wants to kill every Palestinian in Gaza. Not that they wouldn’t like to, but there are lines that even Israel couldn’t cross without losing all international support. And certainly killing all, or a significant portion of, Gaza’s 2 million residents would cross those lines. Everything Israel has done in the past two weeks has clearly been calculated to make conditions in Gaza as unbearable as possible. Cutting off food, water, fuel and electricity, dropping 6000 bombs (I’m sure the number is much higher now), bombing hospitals, schools, bombing people on the routes that they were told to evacuate on to avoid being bombed in their homes. “Israel is evil and is trying to kill them all” is a facile argument and one that I have mostly seen used as a straw man. The goal is obviously to make conditions so horrific that Egypt will open its border to Gazans as refugees, of course “temporarily” (they will never be let back in). Bombing a hospital absolutely helps to achieve this objective as it helps to further degrade conditions in Gaza by removing access to treatment and reinforcing that there is no area where civilians are safe. By the way if you think Israel is not currently doing genocide… might want to check with the International Criminal Court: “Article 6 of the Rome Statute provides that "genocide" means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part” Luckily under the Rules Based International Order™ if you’re a US client state you can usually get away with a couple of small genocides, or maybe one medium sized.

These are valid arguments, and I thank you for presenting them, but you cannot possibly think yourself a worthy interlocuror now can you? The immediate geopolitical goals of Israel are a matter of minor import. What is important now is to discern whether leaders post on X in a way which premeditates their intent to commit mass violence (not genocide) by referencing blood libel. An exercise in futility, of course, since this notion cannot even be sustained in the face of mildest scrutiny

Biden does seem to have a degree of sincere care about the situation (Frankly this reads more than anything like he gave the entire Israeli cabinet a serious reaming and are giving an insincere apology like a chastised schoolboy), but he is far far too deep in the well of regarding Israel as an ally of unbreakable importance, and general liberalism, to actually apply even the least bit of the pressure America could apply. At absolute best Israel will let a trickle of aid through from Egypt and maybe, if we're incredibly lucky, cut back on any major atrocities for a day or two.

My understanding is that each of those different bodies organisations will have their own way of figuring out how many might have been killed or injured. Some will be more rigorous than others. Putting an exact figure on it is going to be very hard, if not impossible. Remembering back to the September 11th attacks, it took months to establish any exact number. In terms of your search for evidence; I (personally) wouldn't worry about arguing with someone who starts to quibble about the exact amount.

I’m not sure how a cease fire is actually beneficial to the complicated situation at hand. These are two militaries at war. Hamas wants to hide and just restart again. Hamas is unapologetically hiding in hospitals and schools and behind civilians. Always has been. Israel has made the intent to wipe out this network in northern Gaza by making it untenable for all civilians before the clean up operation. Hospitals are defying this under a shroud of righteousness, but can also be interpreted as effectively a form of defiance and protection for Hamas since they are known bad actors. You can’t claim a creed when you know your actions are delaying what the other party has made clear is an inevitable. ‘Do no harm’ doesn’t mean knowingly put hundreds people at exponential risk to have a slight increased chance save a couple. The WHO can put out statements all they want, but they aren’t helping the situation. Israel clearly wants civilians gone so they can access the hidden networks and shoot anything that moves on sight. Hamas is doubling down on taking advantage of the situation at the expense of Palestinians. The difference between other wars and this one is the overt willingness to use it’s own citizens as fodder to advance the war effort that Hamas employs. Armies that actually defend the will of the people wouldn’t stoop that low on such a large scale. Now whether Israel knowingly let the yon kippur attack ‘surprise’ them and used their own citizens as fodder to reignite the conflict and this not be a story of incompetence is a whole other conspiracy chat. But that’s attributing incompetence to covert malice, which is rarely true. Hamas using citizens as shields is a strategy, not incompetence, hence the simpler argument to make.

Logically then, Israel needs to kill all the Palestinians to make sure they get Hamas, is what I'm getting from that. I somehow doubt every hospital and school is knowingly harboring Hamas and MSF and the UN are in on it and Israel magically knows. That Hamas has and does do that does not mean they can just blow up every ambulance because there could be hamas there. I feel like if they really know where Hamas is, by this point, with what must certainly be over 8000 bombs, Hamas should be pretty well disabled, but they're not, which means they actually have not much of an idea or don't really care one way or another. A cease fire could allow for the civilians to not just all die of lack of water in the coming weeks, and maybe Israel to actually figure out where Hamas is instead of just leveling everything. They can go in and establish safe zones for civilians and then yes there will be urban warfare but then they could not level every building as was their stated goal at the onset. If you do that and you don't kill everyone*, you're guaranteeing another hamas. A ceasefire would also make it painfully obvious where Hamas is as they launch their crappy rocket attacks. *Of course, this is actually the goal.
