When the Hamas murders women, children, and journalists, somehow it's Israel' fault. They killed, kidnapped and raped about 1500 people, probably more, but the Palestinians, despite gaining support across the world, still continue their victimization complex.
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes.shtmlWar crimes do not justify war crimes. Period. There is no law allowing defensive genocide. Or preventative genocide.
Genocide is not the appropriate response to terrorism. In court one does not justify killing your neighbors' kids because some inane member of their household drove their car through your picnic. You punish the wrongdoer, not their family and neighbors. 'Palestinians' are not Hamas. Hamas deserves to be brought to justice. Justice is not served by the systematic murder and enforced famine of an entire people. The systematic destruction of the lives and homes of noncombatants to serve a military aim is genocide.
Netanyahu justifies it by citing Amalek.
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”
Using religion to wash war crimes is evil. Incites others to weaponize religion to justify their own atrocities. Tactically is a failure that spurs further terrorist acts and asymmetrical warfare.
These are not semantic 'games' this is a matter of law. Israel is a signee to the Geneva convention. As is the United States. By sending weaponry to Netanyahu it puts us as accessory to genocide. We have a responsibility to check our allies in their violation of international law, and state clearly that we cannot be a party to misuse of a nation's military that we largely fund. Check through the link above. How many of those statues are being violated? There is no "Yeah but..." when it comes to genocide.
