As Israel incinerates entire city blocks, the White House offers its tacit approval.

The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel’s actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel’s approach could backfire politically and suggests that there’s no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it’s in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

    Wasn’t there an article yesterday that the US asked for restrained actions even against the hamas?

      They asked. That’s not really much. Israel still has a carte blanche from the international community to commit warcrimes.

          I mean they’re committing warcrimes right this moment and instead of stopping them everyone is giving them weapons.

            How are they committing wacrimes on purpose when they tell the civilians actually to fuck off and get out of the fire? As cruel as it’s sound those civilians are collateral damage, killed because the hamas is hiding between them.

            What should they do after this horrendous crimes against their people, then to move against the hamas? Did the US not act after 9/11? Did we as NATO not act when Serbians committed a genocide in Kosovo? High civilian casualties are a welcomed effect by terrorists like the Hamas, cause they are not a regular army.

            I find it wrong what’s happens there but I also have no Idea what Israel could do different in order to save humans lives and also to defend themselves.

              They then attack those civilians while they’re fucking off, or after they get to the location they told them to fuck off to. Not kidding they’ve done it five times by my count the past few days. They’re also attacking journalists, hospitals and the like. And don’t get me started on the white phosphorus.

              So yeah, they’re committing warcrimes.

              What should they do after this horrendous crimes against their people, then to move against the hamas?

              Well, after pushing Hamas to the Gaza ousting Netenyahu and installing a PM who’s actually interesting in peace would be a good start. There’ll never be peace—and therefore violence is inevitable—as long as Netenyahu and his party are in charge. I’m not exaggerating.

              You’re right, this situation JUST started with the attack at the festival. Literally nothing ever happened there before that day.

              Give me a fucking break.
