The term “civilian” has been actively stripped of all meaning when people willfully occupying native land and displacing the population as those natives are slaughtered are included.
Comment on Israel Gaza war: ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders
BrikoX@lemmy.zip 7 months agoIf you don’t want people to make a violent bid for freedom, don’t spend decades torturing and murdering them in an open air concentration camp with no recourse. Simple.
I’m with you here. The violence is of Israel’s own making, but no matter how “just” one believes their actions are, they are still against international humanitarian law. I apply the same standard to everyone, be it Hamas, Israel, Poland, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, China, United States, etc.
If you are willing to spill civilian blood, you also should be willing to take responsibility for those actions.

I must’ve missed the part where the 30k civilians murdered killed anyone

Your numbers are higher than even the hummus ones right now, unless you really believe that only 5k were soldiers

Agreed.
The last check I did sat right around 35000.
I don’t think any of us believe they have only gotten 5k soldiers.
